# Agnes — AI Data Analyst Agnes is an open-source data distribution platform for AI analytical systems. It extracts data from configured sources into DuckDB, serves it via a FastAPI backend, and distributes Parquet files to analysts who query them locally using Claude Code and DuckDB. Each data source produces a self-describing `extract.duckdb` file. The `SyncOrchestrator` attaches all extract databases into a master `analytics.duckdb`, making every table available through a unified view layer without copying data unnecessarily. ## Architecture: extract.duckdb Contract Every connector produces the same output structure: ``` /data/extracts/{source_name}/ ├── extract.duckdb ← _meta table + views └── data/ ← parquet files (local sources only) ``` The orchestrator scans `/data/extracts/*/extract.duckdb`, attaches each into `analytics.duckdb`, and creates master views. ``` ┌──────────────┐ ┌──────────────┐ ┌──────────────┐ │ Keboola │ │ BigQuery │ │ Jira │ │ extractor │ │ extractor │ │ webhooks │ │ (DuckDB ext) │ │ (remote BQ) │ │ (incremental)│ └──────┬───────┘ └──────┬───────┘ └──────┬───────┘ │ │ │ ▼ ▼ ▼ extract.duckdb extract.duckdb extract.duckdb + data/*.parquet (views → BQ) + data/*.parquet │ │ │ └─────────────────┼─────────────────┘ ▼ SyncOrchestrator.rebuild() ATTACH → master views in analytics.duckdb │ ┌──────────┼──────────┐ ▼ ▼ ▼ FastAPI CLI (serve) (agnes pull) ``` ## Supported Data Sources | Mode | Distribution | Sources | Use when | |------|--------------|---------|----------| | **Batch pull** (`local`) | Parquet on disk, scheduled | Keboola | Source has a native bulk-export and the table fits on disk | | **Materialized SQL** (`materialized`) | Parquet on disk, scheduled query | BigQuery, Keboola | Source table is too large to mirror as-is; you want a curated subset / aggregate on disk | | **Remote attach** (`remote`) | View only, no download | BigQuery | Table is too large to materialize; latency cost of remote query is acceptable | | **Real-time push** | Incremental parquet | Jira | Source is event-driven and you need sub-minute freshness | The first three modes are what `agnes pull` distributes to analysts. The fourth is server-side only — analysts query Jira data through the same `agnes pull`-distributed parquets. Admins manage per-source registrations through the `/admin/tables` UI (per-connector tabs for BigQuery / Keboola / Jira) or the `agnes admin register-table` CLI; per-row "Manage access" deep-links to `/admin/access` for granting tables to user groups via `resource_grants(group, ResourceType.TABLE, table_id)`. Analysts get a closed loop with Claude Code: `agnes init` writes `/.claude/settings.json` with SessionStart (`agnes pull --quiet`) and SessionEnd (`agnes push --quiet`) hooks so every Claude Code session starts with fresh RBAC-filtered parquets and ends with the session log uploaded back. Adding a new source means creating `connectors//extractor.py` that produces `extract.duckdb` with a `_meta` table (`table_name`, `description`, `rows`, `size_bytes`, `extracted_at`, `query_mode`). The orchestrator attaches it automatically. ## Quick Start with Docker ```bash # Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/keboola/agnes-the-ai-analyst.git cd agnes-the-ai-analyst # Copy and edit configuration cp config/instance.yaml.example config/instance.yaml cp config/.env.template .env # Edit both files for your environment # Start the app and scheduler docker compose up # Start with all optional services (Telegram bot, etc.) docker compose --profile full up # Start with TLS (Caddy on :443 with corporate-CA certs from /data/state/certs) docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.prod.yml -f docker-compose.tls.yml \ --profile tls up -d ``` Once running, the FastAPI app is available at `http://localhost:8000` (or `https://$DOMAIN` in TLS mode). See [`docs/DEPLOYMENT.md`](docs/DEPLOYMENT.md) for cert provisioning + auto-rotation via `scripts/ops/agnes-tls-rotate.sh`. Trigger a manual sync: ```bash curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/sync/trigger ``` ## Local sync & auto-update Analysts run Claude Code against a local DuckDB built from RBAC-filtered parquets pulled from the server. `agnes pull` is the distribution path: ```bash agnes pull # delta-pull: manifest → MD5 compare → download changed → rebuild views agnes pull --quiet # same, no progress output (for hooks/cron) agnes push # push session jsonl + CLAUDE.local.md back to the server ``` `agnes init` writes Claude Code lifecycle hooks into `/.claude/settings.json`: - `SessionStart` → `agnes pull --quiet` — fresh data on every session - `SessionEnd` → `agnes push --quiet` — uploads notes and session log Hooks live at workspace level so they only fire in this analyst workspace, not in unrelated Claude Code sessions on the same machine. ### Admin: which tables auto-sync to whom The auto-sync set per analyst is the intersection of: 1. Tables with `query_mode IN ('local', 'materialized')` — these have parquets on disk and end up in the manifest 2. Tables granted to one of the analyst's groups via `resource_grants(group, ResourceType.TABLE, table_id)` (see [`docs/RBAC.md`](docs/RBAC.md)) To enroll a new table for auto-sync, register it (or update its `query_mode`) and grant it to the relevant groups in `/admin/access`. New analysts get the same set on their next `agnes pull`. For BigQuery, register a `query_mode='materialized'` table with a SQL body: ```bash agnes admin register-table orders_90d \ --source-type bigquery \ --query-mode materialized \ --query @docs/queries/orders_90d.sql \ --schedule "every 6h" ``` The scheduler runs the query through the DuckDB BigQuery extension on each tick that's due, writes the result as a parquet, and the analyst picks it up on the next `agnes pull`. Cost guardrail: `data_source.bigquery.max_bytes_per_materialize` (default 10 GiB) — operations exceeding the BQ dry-run estimate are skipped. ## Development Setup ```bash # Create and activate virtual environment python3 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate # Install dependencies uv pip install ".[dev]" # Run FastAPI locally with hot reload uvicorn app.main:app --reload # Run the test suite pytest tests/ -v ``` ## Project Structure ``` ├── src/ # Core engine │ ├── db.py # DuckDB schema (system.duckdb, analytics.duckdb) │ ├── orchestrator.py # SyncOrchestrator — ATTACHes extract.duckdb files │ ├── repositories/ # DuckDB-backed CRUD (sync_state, table_registry, users, etc.) │ ├── profiler.py # Data profiling │ └── catalog_export.py # OpenMetadata catalog export ├── app/ # FastAPI application │ ├── main.py # App setup, router registration │ ├── api/ # REST API (sync, data, catalog, admin, auth) │ ├── auth/ # Auth providers (Google OAuth, email magic link, desktop JWT) │ └── web/ # HTML dashboard routes ├── connectors/ # Data source connectors (extract.duckdb contract) │ ├── keboola/ # Keboola: extractor.py (DuckDB extension) + client.py (fallback) │ ├── bigquery/ # BigQuery: extractor.py (remote-only via DuckDB BQ extension) │ └── jira/ # Jira: webhook + incremental parquet → extract.duckdb ├── cli/ # CLI tool (`agnes pull`, `agnes query`, `agnes admin`) ├── services/ # Standalone services (scheduler, telegram_bot, ws_gateway, etc.) ├── scripts/ # Utility + migration scripts ├── config/ # Configuration templates (instance.yaml.example) ├── docs/ # Documentation + metric YAML definitions └── tests/ # Test suite (633 tests) ``` ## Configuration | File | Purpose | |------|---------| | `config/instance.yaml` | Instance-specific settings: branding, data source type, auth provider, Google domain | | `.env` | Secrets and environment variables — never committed | | `system.duckdb` `table_registry` table | Table definitions managed via `POST /api/admin/register-table` (or `PUT /api/admin/registry/{id}` to update) or the web UI | Copy the example to get started: ```bash cp config/instance.yaml.example config/instance.yaml ``` See `config/instance.yaml.example` for all available options. ## Documentation - [Hackathon TL;DR](docs/HACKATHON.md) — condensed deploy + dev playbooks (for both humans and AI agents) - [Onboarding Guide](docs/ONBOARDING.md) — end-to-end Terraform deployment into a GCP project (recommended for production) - [Deployment Guide](docs/DEPLOYMENT.md) — chooses between Terraform and Docker Compose; covers OSS self-host - [Configuration Reference](docs/CONFIGURATION.md) — `instance.yaml`, env vars, per-instance options - [Architecture](ARCHITECTURE.md) — orchestrator, extractors, DB layout - [Quickstart](docs/QUICKSTART.md) — local development ## Contributing 1.
