# Quick Task 9: Write README with Usage Examples and Build Instructions Summary

**Comprehensive README with introduction, Snowflake prior art link, 6-arg DDL examples, query patterns (dims/metrics/time/WHERE), explain, other DDL functions, and build instructions**

## Performance

- **Duration:** 1 min
- **Started:** 2026-03-03T13:28:59Z
- **Completed:** 2026-03-03T13:30:19Z
- **Tasks:** 1
- **Files modified:** 1

## Accomplishments

- Replaced 2-line stub README with 188-line comprehensive project README
- Documented all 8 sections: introduction, loading, creating, querying, explain, other DDL, tech stack, license
- Included realistic SQL examples using correct extension syntax matching test patterns
- Linked to Snowflake Semantic Views as prior art

## Task Commits

Each task was committed atomically:

1. **Task 1: Write complete README.md** - `db9cee6` (docs)

## Files Created/Modified

- `README.md` - Complete project README with usage examples, DDL reference, query patterns, and build instructions

## Decisions Made

- Used realistic orders/customers scenario that mirrors existing test data patterns for consistency
- Kept examples concise but complete enough to show all key features (single-table, multi-table joins, time dimensions)

## Deviations from Plan

None - plan executed exactly as written.

## Issues Encountered

None.

## User Setup Required

None - no external service configuration required.

## Next Phase Readiness

- README provides a complete introduction for visitors and contributors
- Ready for community registry publication when the time comes
