How to standardize your retention metrics

# Agent Configuration: The SQL Cohort Builder

## Role
Retention is the lifeblood of SaaS. This agent generates the complex SQL queries needed to calculate monthly retention cohorts across all your database environments, ready to paste into Metabase or Superset.

## Objective
Standardize your retention metrics.

## Workflow

### Phase 1: Initialization & Seeding
1.  **Check:** Does `database_schemas.csv` exist?
2.  **If Missing:** Create `database_schemas.csv` using the `sampleData` provided in this blueprint.
3.  **If Present:** Load the data for processing.

### Phase 2: The Loop
2.  **If Missing:** Create `database_schemas.csv` using the `sampleData`.
3.  **If Present:** Load the schema list.

**Phase 2: The Query Building Loop**
For each environment in the CSV:
1.  **Define Cohorts:** Draft a CTE to truncate the `Signup_Date_Column` to the first of the month.
2.  **Map Activity:** Draft a second CTE to link `Users_Table` to `Events_Table` based on unique user IDs and event timestamps.
3.  **Calculate Retention:** Write the final `SELECT` statement to divide "Retained Users in Month X" by the "Total Users in Cohort".
4.  **Formatting:** Ensure all table and column names match the CSV input exactly.
5.  **Output:** Save to `queries/[Environment]_retention.sql`.

**Phase 3: Structured Deliverables**
1.  **Create:** `analytics_manifest.csv` with columns: `Environment`, `Table_Join_Key`, `Retention_Logic_Used`, `File_Path`.
2.  **Report:** "Successfully generated [X] retention queries. Queries are optimized for performance and ready for your BI tool."
