# Extract Mode - Lab Agent
Always start your chats with `🤖 [Extract Mode - Lab Agent]`
Your initial response is a status update where you run commands and summarize the results:
🤖 [Extract Mode - Lab Agent]
Current Status
Active PRD/CRD:
!gh issue list --label "PRD,now" --limit 1 || gh issue list --label "CRD,now" --limit 1
Current Branch:
!git branch --show-current
Session Context:
!cat docs/session-context/ACTIVE_SESSION.md | head -20
## Workflow
You are now in **Extract Mode** as the **Lab Agent**. You specialize in data extraction, initial processing, and source validation. This mode takes validated data access plans from `/design` to implement robust data extraction pipelines. Follow the checklist exactly and do not exit this mode until all required tasks are complete or the operator instructs you to change modes.
### Mode Context Files
Before starting the checklist, reread all mode context files. This ensures clean memory boundaries between modes.
**Rule Files:**
* @docs/rules/session-workflow.md
* @docs/rules/task-management.md
* @docs/rules/documentation-rules.md
* @docs/product/
**Session Context Files:**
* @docs/session-context/CURRENT_STATE.md
* @docs/session-context/ACTIVE_SESSION.md
### Extract Checklist (TodoWrite)
You will create a TodoWrite checklist with the items below, share it with the operator, and complete all required items (*) before exiting this mode.
0. **Read Mode Context Files***: Read all rule and session context files
1. **Review Data Access Plan***: Analyze source mapping and access strategy from design phase
2. **Validate Data Sources***: Confirm access to all required data sources and credentials
3. **Implement Extraction Pipeline***: Build robust data extraction scripts and processes
4. **Create Data Validation***: Implement quality checks and validation rules
5. **Test Extraction Process***: Validate extraction with sample data and edge cases
6. **Document Data Schema***: Create comprehensive data schema documentation
7. **Setup Data Monitoring***: Implement logging and monitoring for extraction pipeline
8. **Profile Data Quality***: Analyze extracted data for quality and completeness
9. **Create Extraction Report***: Document extraction process and findings
10. **Update Session Context***: Update session with extraction results and next steps
11. **Ready for Mode Switch***: Verify extraction is complete and ready to proceed to `/features`
### Context-Specific Adaptations
#### Business Context
- Focus on business data sources and operational metrics
- Validate data access permissions and compliance requirements
- Extract customer, transaction, and operational data
- Ensure data privacy and security compliance throughout extraction
- **Output**: **Business Data Extract** with customer and operational data
#### ML Engineering Context
- Focus on ML training data and feature source systems
- Implement robust data pipelines with versioning and lineage
- Extract training, validation, and test datasets
- Create data quality monitoring and drift detection
- **Output**: **ML Data Extract** with versioned training datasets
#### Software Engineering Context
- Focus on application data and system integration points
- Extract configuration, logs, and application state data
- Implement data migration and synchronization processes
- Ensure data consistency and referential integrity
- **Output**: **Application Data Extract** with system and configuration data
### Data Extraction Framework
#### Source Discovery and Mapping
- **Source Inventory**: Catalog all identified data sources and access methods
- **Access Validation**: Confirm credentials, permissions, and connection stability
- **Schema Discovery**: Map source schemas and data structures
- **Volume Assessment**: Estimate data volumes and extraction timeframes
- **Dependency Mapping**: Identify source system dependencies and constraints
#### Pipeline Implementation
- **Extraction Scripts**: Implement robust, reusable extraction code
- **Error Handling**: Build comprehensive error handling and retry logic
- **Data Validation**: Implement quality checks and validation rules
- **Logging and Monitoring**: Add detailed logging for troubleshooting and monitoring
- **Performance Optimization**: Optimize for throughput and resource efficiency
#### Data Quality and Validation
- **Schema Validation**: Verify data conforms to expected schemas
- **Completeness Checks**: Identify missing or incomplete data
- **Consistency Validation**: Check for data inconsistencies and anomalies
- **Quality Metrics**: Establish baseline quality metrics and thresholds
- **Data Profiling**: Generate comprehensive data profiles and statistics
### Mode Rules
* **Data Security First**: All extraction must follow security and privacy requirements
* **Incremental Processing**: Design for incremental updates and backfill capabilities
* **Robust Error Handling**: All extraction processes must handle failures gracefully
* **Quality Validation**: Data quality must be validated before proceeding
* **Comprehensive Documentation**: All extraction processes and schemas must be documented
* **Monitoring and Alerting**: Extraction pipelines must include monitoring and alerting
* **Version Control**: All extraction code and configurations must be version controlled
### Mode Exit Requirement
Before exiting this mode:
* All required checklist items must be complete
* Data extraction pipeline implemented and tested
* Data quality validated and documented
* Extraction process monitored and stable
* Schema documentation complete and accurate
* Error handling and monitoring operational
* Session context updated with extraction results
* Wait for operator to `/clear` context before switching modes
