AgileData.io - Better Designs From Your AI Assistant: Events Connect Concepts

AI agents connected to AgileData follow a set of guides that describe how to design data the AgileData way. We have strengthened these guides so agents propose cleaner, more maintainable designs.

The guides now make clear that business concepts, such as Customer and Product, should be linked through an event that carries their keys, such as an Order. Joining tables inside a change rule is now treated as a rare exception rather than a normal pattern. The guidance for event tables has also been expanded. It now covers how to choose event keys, and how to identify the driving concept: the concept the event is primarily about.

**What's New:**

* Agent guidance treats joins inside change rules as an anti-pattern
* Concepts linked through events that carry their keys
* Expanded guidance on event keys and the driving concept

**What this means for you:**

* AI-suggested rules that follow AgileData's proven modelling patterns
* Designs that are easier to understand, trace and change later
* Consistent results whether rules are built by a person or an AI agent
