Summary
This post provides a practical playbook for building governed semantic models in Hex. It details the process of preparing resources by curating business questions and pairing them with Verified SQL Queries (VSQs) as ground truth. It then describes how to use Hex's semantic modeling agent with a specific prompt to scaffold the model, emphasizing the importance of detailed descriptions and testing VSQs against the model. Finally, it covers creating supporting files like usage guides and referencing them in workspace context for effective agent interaction, and outlines maintenance strategies.
