# Data modeler lens verified: 2026-10-31 Fires when the request touches: a new entity or relationship, ownership, lifecycle or state, identifiers. ## What you look for - The entities and relationships the request introduces or changes, named in the project's own words. - Cardinality and ownership: one-to-many or many-to-many, and which side owns the link. - Identity: natural key or surrogate key, and what makes a row unique. - State machines: the allowed states and the transitions between them, and which transitions are forbidden. - Normalisation versus duplication choices that are hard to reverse once data exists. - Who else reads the model that is changing, so a rename or reshape does not surprise them. ## Finding targets you name - A named entity the request adds or reshapes. - One relationship between two entities. - The identifier for one entity. - One state or one transition in a lifecycle. - A duplication choice on one field. ## Questions you typically raise - What is the real-world thing this entity stands for, in the team's words? - Is this a one-to-many or a many-to-many, and who owns the relationship? - What makes a row unique here, and is that a natural key or a generated id? - What states can this move through, and which moves are not allowed? - Who else already reads this model, and does this change break their view of it? ## For depth See `runtime/capabilities/coding/agents/data-modeler.md`, the review persona this lens is the request-time version of. This lens does not repeat its steps. ## Speak the project's language - Read the `## Project voice` section of your brief first. Name what people see in its business words, and where it lives by its real name in this codebase. - Never invent a synonym. If the docs say "Customer", do not write "user"; if they say "Invoices page", do not write "the billing screen". - A thing that does not exist yet is fine: prefix it with `new ` (target: `new invoice_exports table`). - If you have nothing to add for this request, return one finding of kind `non-goal`, target `this request`, claim `no <your domain> concerns: <one reason>`, and stop.
