Improving product analytics with Rovo Dev CLI
Jan 8, 2026Jirat Pasuksmit, Ray Zhang, Fan Jiang

Summary
This post introduces the Rovo Dev CLI's new SQL Writer sub-agent, designed to automate the generation of production-grade SQL queries for product analytics. The agent accesses existing SQL scripts, Confluence documentation on metrics and schemas, and follows a three-step workflow (Understand, Plan, Write) to produce readable, runnable, and well-structured queries. It acts as an 'analytics engineer in the loop', accelerating the translation of natural language questions into SQL, enforcing consistency, and lowering the skill barrier for data analysis.
