Summary

Removes AIDA and replaces it with agent configuration that every tool reads natively.

AIDA is deprecated: aida-mcp stopped at 0.13.0 (2026-04-02), declares mcp>=1.25.0 with no
upper bound and so cannot import against mcp 2.x, and gdc-nas, gdc-ui and
gdc-mastercard-panther have all removed it already. This repository was the last one still
wired to it, with the server disabled locally anyway. The pattern here follows
gooddata/gdc-nas#22202, scaled down for nine packages instead of twenty-five services.

What AIDA left behind was worse than having nothing: AGENTS.md and the Cursor, Junie and
JetBrains rule files were gitignored generated stubs pointing at MCP tools that no longer
answer; every package rule ended with a Dependencies footer naming technologies/python and
technologies/testing, which exist nowhere in the tree; and gooddata-eval had no rule at all.

Rules are now tracked. A root AGENTS.md plus one per package, each with a CLAUDE.md that
imports its sibling. This also restores repository knowledge that AIDA's February migration
deleted and its generic embedded profiles never replaced — the VCR cassette recording loop, the
commit conventions, the package map, the generated-client warning and the Python conventions —
brought up to date (ty, not mypy).

Three skills in .claude/skills/, chosen from measured churn rather than ported wholesale:
/cassette-update (100 commits mention cassettes; the top six churn paths in the last 400
commits are all fixture directories), /api-client-regen, /commit.

Commit format becomes enforceable for the first time. .gitlint pointed extra-path at
packages/repo-tools/src/quiver_monorepo/…, a path from another repository that has never
existed here, and make dev ran a bare pre-commit install, which does not wire up the
commit-msg stage gitlint needs. Both are fixed, the custom rule gains a trailer check for
jira: and risk:, and default_stages is pinned so the copyright hook cannot rewrite the
commit message once that stage is installed.

scripts/validate_python.sh is removed — nothing but AIDA's validate_command called it, and
its trailing-JSON contract existed only for AIDA's external_json processor. AGENTS.md
documents the make targets instead.

Audit of the migrated content

Each package's file was then audited against its own source, one agent per package. That found
twelve factual errors, four in gooddata-sdk and two of those inherited from AIDA's rule
file and carried over unchecked:

  • The client example passed host= / token=. The parameters are host_ / token_, and
    create() also takes **custom_headers_ — so the example raises TypeError, and passing
    them both positionally and by keyword lands real credentials in {'host': …, 'token': …} as
    HTTP headers with no error.
  • "Services grouped by prefix catalog_*, compute_*, insights_*, tables_*" described a
    convention that does not exist. The file now lists the fourteen real properties.
  • export was filed under compute; it is its own service.
  • "Visualization services: insights, dashboards" claimed dashboard support visualization.py
    does not have — zero occurrences of "dashboard" in that module.

The rest: gooddata-dbt reads gooddata.yml, not gooddata.yaml (the gdc CLI reads
gooddata.yaml, so both files now state the difference); gooddata-flight-server's tests use
checked-in certs, so make dev-certs is not a pytest prerequisite; gooddata-pandas' method
list implied SeriesFactory has for_visualization; tests-support sorts through a five-key
allowlist rather than broadly; and four gooddata-eval module roles were wrong, with trace
linking living under core/agentic/ rather than core/langfuse/.

Each file now opens with a description of what the package is for and carries the verified
gotchas an agent would otherwise rediscover the hard way. The ones that cause damage rather
than confusion:

  • gooddata-pipelines full_load() deletes every record not present in the input
  • gooddata-sdk layout path defaults bind Path.cwd() at import time, so files land in the
    old directory after an os.chdir()
  • editing tests-support normalization needs the tox and uv caches cleared, or stale bytecode
    keeps the old behavior
  • a new gooddata-eval agentic kind defaults to workspace-mutating; moving it to
    PARALLEL_SAFE_TEST_KINDS asserts read-only behavior nothing can prove for you
  • gooddata-dbt silently ignores models not tagged meta.gooddata.model_id

Two documentation bugs found on the way

  • packages/gooddata-pipelines/README.md called UserFullLoad.from_list_of_dicts(…), which
    exists nowhere in the package, so the one worked example in a README that ships to PyPI raised
    AttributeError. Validating CSV rows directly does not work either (extra="forbid", and
    user_groups is a list[str]). Fixed, and verified to run against a real CSV.
  • CONTRIBUTING.md's staging section was wrong three ways: it named TOKEN where the targets
    require STAGING_ADMIN_TOKEN, omitted the equally required STAGING_DS_PASSWORD, and claimed
    the token reaches pytest as a --gd-test-token flag rather than an environment variable — that
    flag appears nowhere in the repository.

Test plan

  • make format — 574 files already formatted
  • make lint — all checks passed
  • make type-check — exit 0, 8/8 packages
  • make test-docs-scripts — 92 passed
  • gooddata-eval suite — 713 passed
  • pre-commit hooks pass on the branch's staged changes
  • gitlint passes on all three commits
  • New gitlint rule tested against 10 hand-built valid/invalid messages, and run over the
    last 40 non-merge commits on master
  • commit-msg hook verified end to end: rejects a bad message with useful errors, accepts a
    good one, and leaves the message file unmodified
  • Fixed README example executed verbatim against a real CSV
  • Every claim written into an AGENTS.md checked against source first
  • Reviewer: open the repo in Claude Code / Cursor / Codex and confirm AGENTS.md and
    CLAUDE.md are picked up with no AIDA MCP present
  • Reviewer: make dev, then confirm a commit missing risk: is rejected

No shipped package code changed — the diff is markdown, config, one local git-hook rule and the
make dev target.

Heads-up for the team

After this merges, re-run make dev. Commits then require jira: and risk: trailers, and
risk: medium is no longer accepted (nonprod / low / high only). For calibration, 34 of
the last 40 non-merge commits on master would fail the new check, almost all for a missing
risk: — the convention lapsed when AIDA's commit_command stopped working. Nothing in CI
validates commit messages, so this is local-only and will not block anyone's PR.

Risk assessment

nonprod — tooling and documentation only. No runtime code, no package behavior, no CI
workflow changes.

Known follow-up, deliberately not in this PR

.github/workflows/staging-tests.yaml exports only TOKEN, while the Makefile has required
STAGING_ADMIN_TOKEN and STAGING_DS_PASSWORD since a62fb226 (2026-03-25). A triggered run
fails at its first step; recent runs have all been skipped rather than executed, which is why
this stayed invisible. Fixing it needs the workflow to export both names plus a repository secret
for the data source password, so it is documented in CONTRIBUTING.md and the root AGENTS.md
rather than silently changed here.

jira: trivial
risk: nonprod

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 351c5

Commit metadata enforcement and staging credential guidance should be corrected before merge. The test-environment and long-command instructions also need small fixes to avoid stale cassette behavior and blocked workflows.

- Around line 18-20: Update the command guidance for make api-client, make
api-client STAGING=1, and make api-client-local to apply the repository’s
tee/tail logging workflow to every long-running step, require reading the
captured log on failure, and stop docker compose logs -f after “Layout upload

In `@CONTRIBUTING.md`:
- Line 341: Update the staging test command documentation in CONTRIBUTING.md to
avoid passing STAGING_ADMIN_TOKEN and STAGING_DS_PASSWORD as Make arguments.
Document loading them from a .env file or pre-exporting the environment
variables, or use a non-echoing prompt instead.

In `@packages/tests-support/AGENTS.md`:
- Line 64: Update the cleanup instructions to remove the tox environments for
all consumers of tests-support, including the pandas and FDW suites, rather than
only packages/gooddata-sdk/.tox. Ensure the documented cleanup recreates every
affected environment so each suite uses the current tests_support wheel.

In `@scripts/conventional_commit_gitlint_rule.py`:
- Line 147: Update the trailer validation branch around jira_lines so an absent
jira: trailer is rejected rather than skipped. Require the no-ticket case to use
jira: trivial, while preserving existing Jira validation for present non-trivial
values and the required risk: checks.

AIDA is deprecated. aida-mcp stopped at 0.13.0 (2026-04-02), declares
mcp>=1.25.0 with no upper bound and so cannot import against mcp 2.x, and
gdc-nas, gdc-ui and gdc-mastercard-panther have all removed it already. This
repository was the last one still wired to it, with the server disabled locally
anyway. The shape here follows gdc-nas#22202, scaled down for nine packages.

What AIDA left behind was worse than nothing: AGENTS.md and the Cursor, Junie
and JetBrains rule files were gitignored generated stubs pointing at MCP tools
that no longer answer; every package rule ended with a Dependencies footer
naming technologies/python and technologies/testing, which exist nowhere in the
tree; and gooddata-eval had no rule at all.

Rules are now tracked -- a root AGENTS.md plus one per package, each with a
CLAUDE.md importing its sibling. This also restores repository knowledge that
AIDA's February migration deleted and its generic embedded profiles never
replaced: the VCR cassette recording loop, the commit conventions, the package
map, the generated-client warning and the Python conventions, updated for ty
rather than mypy.

Three skills cover the workflows history shows recurring most: cassette
re-recording (100 commits mention cassettes, and the top six churn paths over
the last 400 commits are all fixture directories), api-client regeneration, and
commits.

Each package file was then audited against its own source, which found twelve
factual errors. Four were in gooddata-sdk and two of those came from AIDA's rule
file, carried over unchecked:

- The client example passed host= and token= as keywords. The parameters are
  host_ and token_, and create() also takes **custom_headers_, so the example
  raises TypeError while the keyword copies are accepted as HTTP headers.
- "Services grouped by prefix catalog_*, compute_*, insights_*, tables_*"
  described a convention that does not exist. The file now lists the fourteen
  real properties.
- export was filed under compute. It is its own service.
- "Visualization services: insights, dashboards" claimed dashboard support that
  visualization.py does not have.

The rest: gooddata-dbt reads gooddata.yml, not gooddata.yaml (the gdc CLI reads
gooddata.yaml, so both files now state the difference); gooddata-flight-server's
tests use checked-in certs, so make dev-certs is not a pytest prerequisite;
gooddata-pandas' method list implied SeriesFactory has for_visualization;
tests-support sorts through a five-key allowlist rather than broadly; and four
gooddata-eval module roles were wrong, with trace linking under core/agentic/
rather than core/langfuse/.

Each file now opens with what the package is for and carries the verified
gotchas an agent would otherwise rediscover the hard way -- among them that
gooddata-pipelines full_load() deletes every record absent from its input, that
gooddata-sdk layout path defaults bind Path.cwd() at import time, that editing
tests-support normalization needs the consumers' tox environments recreated, and
that a new gooddata-eval agentic kind defaults to workspace-mutating.

Commit format becomes enforceable for the first time. .gitlint pointed
extra-path at packages/repo-tools/src/quiver_monorepo/, a path from another
repository that has never existed here, and make dev ran a bare
`pre-commit install`, which does not wire up the commit-msg stage gitlint needs.
Both are fixed, the rule gains a required-trailer check for jira and risk, and
default_stages is pinned so the copyright hook cannot rewrite the commit message
once that stage is installed.

The staging make targets interpolated the token and data source password into
recipe lines, which make echoes on every run and prints under -n even from an
@-prefixed line, and passed them in the sub-make's argv where ps exposes them to
any user on the host. The recipes now read both from the environment as shell
variables and are @-prefixed, with the root Makefile exporting them so a .env
value reaches the recipe the same way an exported one does.

Two documented workflows did not match the code and are fixed: the
gooddata-pipelines README called UserFullLoad.from_list_of_dicts(), which exists
nowhere in the package, and CONTRIBUTING's staging section named TOKEN where the
targets require STAGING_ADMIN_TOKEN, omitted STAGING_DS_PASSWORD entirely, and
claimed the token reaches pytest as a --gd-test-token flag rather than an
environment variable. That flag appears nowhere in the repository.

scripts/validate_python.sh is removed: nothing but AIDA's validate_command
called it, and its trailing-JSON contract existed only for AIDA's external_json
processor. AGENTS.md documents the make targets instead.

Also recorded, not fixed here: staging-tests.yaml exports only TOKEN, so a
triggered run fails at its first step. Recent runs have been skipped rather than
executed, which is why it stayed invisible. Fixing it needs a repository secret
for the data source password.
