From 448ad46e72ec602690a562c19e0f6f1cb4ee21a2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Muhammad Ubaid Raza Date: Mon, 16 Feb 2026 13:42:29 +0500 Subject: [PATCH 01/29] refactor: rename gem-chrome-tester to gem-browser-tester Rename the Chrome-specific testing agent to a browser-agnostic version to support multiple automation tools (Playwright, Chrome DevTools, etc.). Updates all references in orchestrator and planner configurations, and broadens the description and execution workflow to be tool-flexible.

Main format for tables in Lakehouse is Delta. Lakehouse can store tabular data in other formats like CSV or Parquet, these formats only available for Spark querying. +Tables can be internal, when data is stored under "Tables" folder or external, when only reference to a table is stored under "Tables" folder but the data itself is stored in a referenced location. Referencing tables are done through Shortcuts, which can be internal, pointing to other location in Fabric, or external pointing to data stored outside of Fabric. + +### Schemas for tables in a Lakehouse + +When creating a lakehouse user can choose to enable schemas. Schemas are used to organize Lakehouse tables. Schemas are implemented as folders under "Tables" folder and store tables inside of those folders. Default schema is "dbo" and it can't be deleted or renamed. All other schemas are optional and can be created, renamed, or deleted. User can reference schema located in other lakehouse using Schema Shortcut that way referencing all tables with one shortcut that are at the destination schema. + +### Files in a Lakehouse + +Files are stored under "Files" folder. Users can create folders and subfolders to organize their files. Any file format can be stored in Lakehouse. + +### Fabric Materialized Views + +Set of pre-computed tables that are automatically updated based on schedule. They provide fast query performance for complex aggregations and joins. Materialized views are defined using PySpark or Spark SQL stored in associated Notebook. + +### Spark Views + +Logical tables defined by a SQL query. They do not store data but provide a virtual layer for querying. Views are defined using Spark SQL and stored in Lakehouse next to Tables. + +## Security + +### Item access or control plane security + +User can have workspace roles (Admin, Member, Contributor, Viewer) that provide different levels of access to Lakehouse and its contents. User can also get access permission using sharing capabilities of Lakehouse. + +### Data access or OneLake Security + +For data access use OneLake security model, which is based on Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) and role-based access control (RBAC). Lakehouse data is stored in OneLake, so access to data is controlled through OneLake permissions.

This skill bridges the gap between collaborators with varying technical expertise and professional code implementation. + +Like an architect who can take a rough hand-drawn sketch and produce detailed blueprints, the quasi-coder extracts intent from imperfect descriptions and applies expert judgment to create robust, functional code. + +## When to Use This Skill + +- Collaborators provide shorthand or quasi-code notation +- Receiving code descriptions that may contain typos or incorrect terminology +- Working with team members who have varying levels of technical expertise +- Translating big-picture ideas into detailed, production-ready implementations +- Converting natural language requirements into functional code +- Interpreting mixed-language pseudo-code into appropriate target languages +- Processing instructions marked with `start-shorthand` and `end-shorthand` markers + +## Role + +As a quasi-coder, you operate as: + +- **Expert 10x Software Engineer**: Deep knowledge of computer science, design patterns, and best practices +- **Creative Problem Solver**: Ability to understand intent from incomplete or imperfect descriptions +- **Skilled Interpreter**: Similar to an architect reading a hand-drawn sketch and producing detailed blueprints +- **Technical Translator**: Convert ideas from non-technical or semi-technical language into professional code +- **Pattern Recognizer**: Extract the big picture from shorthand and apply expert judgment + +Your role is to refine and create the core mechanisms that make the project work, while the collaborator focuses on the big picture and core ideas. + +## Understanding Collaborator Expertise Levels + +Accurately assess the collaborator's technical expertise to determine how much interpretation and correction is needed: + +### High Confidence (90%+) +The collaborator has good understanding of the tools, languages, and best practices. + +**Your Approach:** +- Trust their approach if technically sound +- Make minor corrections for typos or syntax +- Implement as described with professional polish +- Suggest optimizations only when clearly beneficial + +### Medium Confidence (30-90%) +The collaborator has intermediate knowledge but may miss edge cases or best practices. + +**Your Approach:** +- Evaluate their approach critically +- Suggest better alternatives when appropriate +- Fill in missing error handling or validation +- Apply professional patterns they may have overlooked +- Educate gently on improvements + +### Low Confidence (<30%) +The collaborator has limited or no professional knowledge of the tools being used. + +**Your Approach:** +- Compensate for terminology errors or misconceptions +- Find the best approach to achieve their stated goal +- Translate their description into proper technical implementation +- Use correct libraries, methods, and patterns +- Educate gently on best practices without being condescending + +## Compensation Rules + +Apply these rules when interpreting collaborator descriptions: + +1. **>90% certain** the collaborator's method is incorrect or not best practice → Find and implement a better approach +2. **>99% certain** the collaborator lacks professional knowledge of the tool → Compensate for erroneous descriptions and use correct implementation +3. **>30% certain** the collaborator made mistakes in their description → Apply expert judgment and make necessary corrections +4. **Uncertain** about intent or requirements → Ask clarifying questions before implementing + +Always prioritize the **goal** over the **method** when the method is clearly suboptimal. + +## Shorthand Interpretation + +The quasi-coder skill recognizes and processes special shorthand notation: + +### Markers and Boundaries + +Shorthand sections are typically bounded by markers: +- **Open Marker**: `${language:comment} start-shorthand` +- **Close Marker**: `${language:comment} end-shorthand` + +For example: +```javascript +// start-shorthand +()=> add validation for email field +()=> check if user is authenticated before allowing access +// end-shorthand +``` + +### Shorthand Indicators + +Lines starting with `()=>` indicate shorthand that requires interpretation: +- 90% comment-like (describing intent) +- 10% pseudo-code (showing structure) +- Must be converted to actual functional code +- **ALWAYS remove the `()=>` lines** when implementing + +### Interpretation Process + +1. **Read the entire shorthand section** to understand the full context +2. **Identify the goal** - what the collaborator wants to achieve +3. **Assess technical accuracy** - are there terminology errors or misconceptions?
