Historic SQL Pattern WorkUnit Sharding Implementation Plan
For agentic workers: REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (
- [ ]) syntax for tracking.
Goal: Keep historic-SQL pattern WorkUnit inputs under the raw-file and prompt-size limits by writing deterministic bounded pattern shards while preserving patterns-input.json as the full audit artifact.
Architecture: The stager continues to write full patterns-input.json for audit and diff visibility, then writes bounded patterns-input/part-0001.json style shards that contain only cross-table pattern candidates. The chunker emits one historic_sql_patterns WorkUnit per changed shard and never asks the skill to read the full audit file. Pattern projection is unchanged because emitted evidence already carries a free-form rawPath.
Tech Stack: TypeScript, Node.js filesystem APIs, Zod, Vitest, pnpm workspace commands.

No existing spec-derived plan is currently unimplemented in this worktree. This plan covers the next uncovered implementation gap from spec section 5.2: historic_sql_patterns may need "a small handful" of deterministic chunks when patterns-input.json exceeds the LLM context budget. Current code always emits one WorkUnit with raw file patterns-input.json; read_raw_file rejects files larger than 120,000 bytes and WorkUnit prompt construction rejects prompts larger than 240,000 characters.

Run:
pnpm --filter @ktx/context exec vitest run src/ingest/adapters/historic-sql/pattern-inputs.test.ts

- Step 2: Run the stager regression to verify it fails
Run:
pnpm --filter @ktx/context exec vitest run src/ingest/adapters/historic-sql/stage-unified.test.ts
Expected: FAIL because patterns-input/part-0001.json is not written.
- Step 3: Import the sharding helper in the stager
In packages/context/src/ingest/adapters/historic-sql/stage-unified.ts, add this import below the bucket import block:
import { splitHistoricSqlPatternInputs } from './pattern-inputs.js';
- Step 4: Write the audit input and shard files
In stageHistoricSqlAggregatedSnapshot() in packages/context/src/ingest/adapters/historic-sql/stage-unified.ts, replace this block:
await writeJson(input.stagedDir, 'patterns-input.json', toPatternsInput(parsedTemplates));
await writeJson(input.stagedDir, 'manifest.json', {
source: HISTORIC_SQL_SOURCE_KEY,

Task 3: Emit Pattern WorkUnits From Shards
Files:
-
Modify:
packages/context/src/ingest/adapters/historic-sql/chunk-unified.ts -
Modify:
packages/context/src/ingest/adapters/historic-sql/chunk-unified.test.ts -
Test:
packages/context/src/ingest/adapters/historic-sql/pattern-inputs.test.ts -
Step 1: Update chunk tests for sharded pattern WorkUnits
In packages/context/src/ingest/adapters/historic-sql/chunk-unified.test.ts, replace the patterns-input.json write inside writeUnifiedStagedDir() with these writes:
await writeJson(root, 'patterns-input.json', {
templates: [
{
id: 'orders',
canonicalSql: 'select * from public.orders join public.customers on true',
tablesTouched: ['public.orders', 'public.customers'],
executionsBucket: '10-100',
distinctUsersBucket: '2-5',
dialect: 'postgres',
},
],
});
await writeJson(root, 'patterns-input/part-0001.json', {
templates: [
{
id: 'orders',
canonicalSql: 'select * from public.orders join public.customers on true',
tablesTouched: ['public.orders', 'public.customers'],
executionsBucket: '10-100',
distinctUsersBucket: '2-5',
dialect: 'postgres',
},
],
});
In the first test, replace the patterns WorkUnit expectation with:
expect.objectContaining({
unitKey: 'historic-sql-patterns-part-0001',
displayLabel: 'Historic SQL cross-table patterns: part-0001',
rawFiles: ['patterns-input/part-0001.json'],
dependencyPaths: ['manifest.json'],
notes: expect.stringContaining('patterns-input/part-0001.json'),
}),
In the diff-set test, replace the second expectation with:
await expect(
chunkHistoricSqlUnifiedStagedDir(stagedDir, {
added: [],
modified: ['patterns-input/part-0001.json'],
deleted: [],
unchanged: ['manifest.json', 'patterns-input.json', 'tables/public.orders.json'],
}),
).resolves.toMatchObject({
workUnits: [expect.objectContaining({ unitKey: 'historic-sql-patterns-part-0001' })],
});
await expect(
chunkHistoricSqlUnifiedStagedDir(stagedDir, {
added: [],
modified: ['patterns-input.json'],
deleted: [],
unchanged: ['manifest.json', 'patterns-input/part-0001.json', 'tables/public.orders.json'],
}),
).resolves.toMatchObject({
workUnits: [],
});
In the scope test, add these expectations:
expect(scope.isPathInScope('patterns-input/part-0001.json')).toBe(true);
expect(scope.isPathInScope('patterns-input/part-1.json')).toBe(false);
Append this additional test inside the same describe block:
it('emits one patterns WorkUnit per changed shard', async () => {
const stagedDir = await tempDir();
await writeUnifiedStagedDir(stagedDir);
await writeJson(stagedDir, 'patterns-input/part-0002.json', {
templates: [
{
id: 'line-items',
canonicalSql: 'select * from public.orders join public.line_items on true',
tablesTouched: ['public.orders', 'public.line_items'],
executionsBucket: '10-100',
distinctUsersBucket: '2-5',
dialect: 'postgres',
},
],
});
const result = await chunkHistoricSqlUnifiedStagedDir(stagedDir, {
added: ['patterns-input/part-0002.json'],
modified: ['patterns-input/part-0001.json'],
deleted: [],
unchanged: ['manifest.json', 'patterns-input.json', 'tables/public.orders.json'],
});
expect(result.workUnits.map((unit) => unit.unitKey)).toEqual([
'historic-sql-patterns-part-0001',
'historic-sql-patterns-part-0002',
]);
expect(result.workUnits.map((unit) => unit.rawFiles)).toEqual([
['patterns-input/part-0001.json'],
['patterns-input/part-0002.json'],
]);
});
- Step 2: Run chunk tests to verify they fail
Run:
pnpm --filter @ktx/context exec vitest run src/ingest/adapters/historic-sql/chunk-unified.test.ts
Expected: FAIL because chunkHistoricSqlUnifiedStagedDir() still emits historic-sql-patterns from root patterns-input.json.
- Step 3: Import shard path helpers in the chunker
In packages/context/src/ingest/adapters/historic-sql/chunk-unified.ts, add this import below the existing type imports:
import { isHistoricSqlPatternInputShardPath } from './pattern-inputs.js';
- Step 4: Emit WorkUnits from shard paths
In packages/context/src/ingest/adapters/historic-sql/chunk-unified.ts, replace the root patterns-input.json WorkUnit block:
if (files.includes('patterns-input.json') && touchedPath('patterns-input.json', touched)) {
stagedPatternsInputSchema.parse(await readJson(stagedDir, 'patterns-input.json'));
workUnits.push({
unitKey: 'historic-sql-patterns',
displayLabel: 'Historic SQL cross-table patterns',
rawFiles: ['patterns-input.json'],
dependencyPaths: ['manifest.json'],
peerFileIndex: files.filter((file) => file !== 'patterns-input.json' && file !== 'manifest.json').sort(),
notes:
'Use historic_sql_patterns. Read patterns-input.json and emit pattern objects with emit_historic_sql_evidence. Do not call wiki_write or sl_write_source.',
});
}
with this code:
for (const path of files.filter(isHistoricSqlPatternInputShardPath)) {
if (!touchedPath(path, touched)) {
continue;
}
stagedPatternsInputSchema.parse(await readJson(stagedDir, path));
const shardLabel = path.replace(/^patterns-input\//, '').replace(/\.json$/, '');
workUnits.push({
unitKey: `historic-sql-patterns-${safeUnitKey(shardLabel)}`,
displayLabel: `Historic SQL cross-table patterns: ${shardLabel}`,
rawFiles: [path],
dependencyPaths: ['manifest.json'],
peerFileIndex: files.filter((file) => file !== path && file !== 'manifest.json').sort(),
notes:
`Use historic_sql_patterns. Read ${path} and emit pattern objects with emit_historic_sql_evidence using rawPath "${path}". Do not call wiki_write or sl_write_source.`,
});
}
- Step 5: Update eviction and scope matching
In packages/context/src/ingest/adapters/historic-sql/chunk-unified.ts, replace the deleted-path filter:
const deleted = diffSet?.deleted.filter((path) => path === 'patterns-input.json' || /^tables\/.+\.json$/.test(path)).sort();
with:
const deleted = diffSet?.deleted
.filter((path) => isHistoricSqlPatternInputShardPath(path) || /^tables\/.+\.json$/.test(path))
.sort();
In describeHistoricSqlUnifiedScope(), replace the scope predicate:
isPathInScope: (rawPath) =>
rawPath === 'manifest.json' || rawPath === 'patterns-input.json' || /^tables\/.+\.json$/.test(rawPath),
with:
isPathInScope: (rawPath) =>
rawPath === 'manifest.json' ||
rawPath === 'patterns-input.json' ||
isHistoricSqlPatternInputShardPath(rawPath) ||
/^tables\/.+\.json$/.test(rawPath),
- Step 6: Run helper, stage, and chunk tests
Run:

Step 1: Update the packaged historic SQL patterns skill
Replace packages/context/skills/historic_sql_patterns/SKILL.md with:
---
name: historic_sql_patterns
description: Identify recurring cross-table historic-SQL analytical intents from a bounded pattern shard and emit typed pattern evidence for deterministic wiki projection.
callers: [memory_agent]
---
# Historic SQL Patterns
Use this skill when the WorkUnit raw file is a `patterns-input/part-0001.json` style shard from the `historic-sql` adapter. Older staged bundles may still provide root `patterns-input.json`; when that is the WorkUnit raw file, read it the same way.
## Required Workflow
1. Read the WorkUnit notes first.
2. Find the single pattern input file listed under the WorkUnit `rawFiles` section.
3. Call `read_raw_file` for that exact raw file path.
4. Identify recurring analytical intents that span at least two tables and have repeated usage signal.
5. Emit one `pattern` evidence object per durable cross-table intent by calling `emit_historic_sql_evidence`.
6. Set each evidence object's `rawPath` to the exact raw file path read in step 3.
7. Stop after all pattern evidence has been emitted.
## Evidence Shape
Each call to `emit_historic_sql_evidence` must use this shape:
```json
{
"kind": "pattern",
"rawPath": "patterns-input/part-0001.json",
"pattern": {
"slug": "order-lifecycle-analysis",
"title": "Order Lifecycle Analysis",
"narrative": "Analysts compare order statuses with customer segments to understand lifecycle movement.",
"definitionSql": "select o.status, count(*) from public.orders o join public.customers c on c.id = o.customer_id group by o.status",
"tablesInvolved": ["public.orders", "public.customers"],
"slRefs": ["orders", "customers"],
"constituentTemplateIds": ["pg:1", "pg:2"]
}
}
```
The `pattern` object must match `patternOutputSchema`; multiple calls together must form `patternsArraySchema`.
## Pattern Selection Rules
- Prefer patterns that involve two or more tables.
- Prefer templates with `executionsBucket` at least `10-100` and `distinctUsersBucket` above solo usage.
- Merge templates into one pattern only when the business intent is the same.
- Use a stable kebab-case slug based on intent, not a template id.
- Set `definitionSql` to the clearest representative SQL from a constituent template.
- Set `slRefs` to source names when the source name is obvious from table names; omit uncertain refs rather than guessing.
- Treat each pattern shard independently; do not read peer shard files from `peerFileIndex`.
## Boundaries
- Do not call wiki_write.
- Do not call sl_write_source.
- Do not call sl_edit_source.
- Do not call context_candidate_write.
- Do not create single-table pattern pages.
- Do not copy credentials, tokens, user emails, or unredacted literals into evidence.
- Step 2: Update runtime asset assertions
In packages/context/src/ingest/ingest-runtime-assets.test.ts, replace this assertion:
expect(body).toContain('patterns-input.json');
with:
expect(body).toContain('patterns-input/part-0001.json');
- Step 3: Update the local ingest acceptance fake agent
In packages/context/src/ingest/adapters/historic-sql/local-ingest-acceptance.test.ts, replace this block:
if (params.telemetryTags.unitKey === 'historic-sql-patterns') {
const result = await emitEvidence.execute(
{
kind: 'pattern',
rawPath: 'patterns-input.json',
pattern: {
with:
if (params.telemetryTags.unitKey === 'historic-sql-patterns-part-0001') {
const result = await emitEvidence.execute(
{
kind: 'pattern',
rawPath: 'patterns-input/part-0001.json',
pattern: {
The rest of the pattern object stays unchanged.
- Step 4: Run skill and acceptance tests
Run:
pnpm --filter @ktx/context exec vitest run src/ingest/ingest-runtime-assets.test.ts src/ingest/adapters/historic-sql/local-ingest-acceptance.test.ts
Expected: PASS.
- Step 5: Commit skill and acceptance updates
git add packages/context/skills/historic_sql_patterns/SKILL.md packages/context/src/ingest/ingest-runtime-assets.test.ts packages/context/src/ingest/adapters/historic-sql/local-ingest-acceptance.test.ts
git commit -m "test: align historic sql pattern skill with shards"
Task 5: Final Verification
Files:
-
Verify:
packages/context/src/ingest/adapters/historic-sql/pattern-inputs.ts -
Verify:
packages/context/src/ingest/adapters/historic-sql/stage-unified.ts -
Verify:
packages/context/src/ingest/adapters/historic-sql/chunk-unified.ts -
Verify:
packages/context/skills/historic_sql_patterns/SKILL.md -
Step 1: Run focused historic SQL tests
Run:
pnpm --filter @ktx/context exec vitest run \
src/ingest/adapters/historic-sql/pattern-inputs.test.ts \
src/ingest/adapters/historic-sql/stage-unified.test.ts \
src/ingest/adapters/historic-sql/chunk-unified.test.ts \
src/ingest/adapters/historic-sql/local-ingest-acceptance.test.ts \
src/ingest/ingest-runtime-assets.test.ts
Expected: PASS.
- Step 2: Run context package type-check
Run:
pnpm --filter @ktx/context run type-check
Expected: PASS.
- Step 3: Verify no legacy historic SQL code path returned
Run:
rg -n "stagePgStatStatementsTemplates|expandCategoricalTemplates|classifySlot|pgss-baseline|historic_sql_ingest|historic_sql_curator|PostgresPgssQueryHistoryReader|historic_sql_template" packages/context packages/cli
Expected: no matches in runtime or test source. Matches inside docs/superpowers/plans/ are acceptable when searching docs separately, but this command does not search docs.
- Step 4: Run pre-commit on changed files if configured
Run:
uv run pre-commit run --files \
packages/context/src/ingest/adapters/historic-sql/pattern-inputs.ts \
packages/context/src/ingest/adapters/historic-sql/pattern-inputs.test.ts \
packages/context/src/ingest/adapters/historic-sql/stage-unified.ts \
packages/context/src/ingest/adapters/historic-sql/stage-unified.test.ts \
packages/context/src/ingest/adapters/historic-sql/chunk-unified.ts \
packages/context/src/ingest/adapters/historic-sql/chunk-unified.test.ts \
packages/context/src/ingest/adapters/historic-sql/local-ingest-acceptance.test.ts \
packages/context/src/ingest/ingest-runtime-assets.test.ts \
packages/context/skills/historic_sql_patterns/SKILL.md
Expected: PASS. If the repository has no pre-commit config or the local uv version cannot satisfy the project pin, record the exact error and rely on the focused tests plus type-check above.
- Step 5: Commit verification-only adjustments if any were needed
If any test or type-check step required small follow-up edits, commit them:
git add packages/context/src/ingest/adapters/historic-sql/pattern-inputs.ts packages/context/src/ingest/adapters/historic-sql/pattern-inputs.test.ts packages/context/src/ingest/adapters/historic-sql/stage-unified.ts packages/context/src/ingest/adapters/historic-sql/stage-unified.test.ts packages/context/src/ingest/adapters/historic-sql/chunk-unified.ts packages/context/src/ingest/adapters/historic-sql/chunk-unified.test.ts packages/context/src/ingest/adapters/historic-sql/local-ingest-acceptance.test.ts packages/context/src/ingest/ingest-runtime-assets.test.ts packages/context/skills/historic_sql_patterns/SKILL.md
git commit -m "test: verify historic sql pattern shard work units"
If there were no follow-up edits, do not create an empty commit.
Self-Review
Spec coverage: This plan covers spec section 5.2's allowance for multiple deterministic pattern WorkUnits when patterns-input.json exceeds a context budget. It preserves section 4.6's full patterns-input.json audit artifact, keeps section 4.7's changed-file DiffSet behavior, and does not alter deterministic projection from section 5.3.
Placeholder scan: The plan contains concrete files, commands, expected outcomes, code snippets, and commit commands. It has no deferred implementation markers.
Type consistency: StagedPatternsInput, splitHistoricSqlPatternInputs(), isHistoricSqlPatternInputShardPath(), HISTORIC_SQL_PATTERN_WORKUNIT_MAX_BYTES, and serializedStagedPatternsInputByteLength() are introduced in Task 1 and imported with the same names in later tasks. Pattern shard raw paths use patterns-input/part-0001.json consistently in the stager, chunker, skill, and acceptance test.
Plan complete and saved to docs/superpowers/plans/2026-05-11-historic-sql-pattern-workunit-sharding.md. Two execution options:
1. Subagent-Driven (recommended) - I dispatch a fresh subagent per task, review between tasks, fast iteration
2. Inline Execution - Execute tasks in this session using executing-plans, batch execution with checkpoints
Which approach?
