Summary

Guides agents through reverse ETL and operational data serving workflows. Use when sending curated warehouse data to business systems, SaaS tools, APIs, activation layers, or operational applications that rely on stable downstream contracts.

1	# Reverse ETL And Operational Data Serving
2
3	## Overview
4
5	Use this skill when trusted analytical data needs to move back into operational systems. It helps agents design stable outbound contracts, idempotent syncs, destination-aware quality rules, and failure-safe activation pipelines.
6
7	## When to Use
8
9	- syncing warehouse outputs into SaaS tools
10	- publishing segments, scores, or entity attributes to operational systems
11	- designing outbound APIs or activation datasets
12	- changing operationally consumed data contracts
13
14	Do not treat reverse ETL like a simple export job. Operational destinations have side effects and user-facing impact.
15
16	## Workflow
17
18	1. Define the outbound contract.
19	Include:
20	- destination system
21	- key mapping
22	- sync cadence
23	- field semantics
24	- deletion or unsync behavior
25
26	2. Understand the destination constraints.
27	Consider:
28	- rate limits
29	- API semantics
30	- idempotency behavior
31	- partial update rules
32	- rollback limitations
33
34	3. Make sync behavior explicit.
35	Decide how the system handles:
36	- upserts
37	- deletes
38	- deduplication
39	- failures
40	- replay
41
42	4. Validate business risk before publish.
43	A bad reverse-ETL sync can affect campaigns, sales workflows, or customer experience directly.
44
45	5. Monitor delivery and divergence.
46
47	## Common Rationalizations
48
49	\| Rationalization \| Reality \|
50	\| --- \| --- \|
51	\| "It is just another export." \| Operational destinations can create real downstream actions and customer-facing side effects. \|
52	\| "We can rerun if something goes wrong." \| Replays may duplicate writes or retrigger actions in external tools. \|
53	\| "The warehouse model is already trusted." \| Destination systems still need contract, mapping, and side-effect safety review. \|
54
55	## Red Flags
56
57	- no destination-aware key mapping exists
58	- deletes or unsync behavior are undefined
59	- replay logic ignores external side effects
60	- sync failures are only visible after business users complain
61
62	## Verification
63
64	- [ ] Destination constraints and contract are explicit
65	- [ ] Sync behavior for inserts, updates, deletes, and retries is defined
66	- [ ] Business side effects and rollback limits are considered
67	- [ ] Delivery success and divergence are observable
