SQL Basics — AI CLI Starter Pack

Master SQL by querying real datasets alongside Claude Code, Codex CLI, or Gemini CLI

Turn your AI CLI into a data mentor. This pack carries you from SELECT fundamentals to executive-ready storytelling with missions, slash commands, and hands-on projects that keep you shipping insights.

What’s inside

• A 20-mission arc that starts with core queries and advances through CTEs, window functions, and automation.
• Slash commands like /start, /next-task, /done, /help, and /safety-check so you always know the next step and get unstuck fast.
• Guided exercises that build an “Insights HQ” analytics report you can hand to stakeholders.
• Deep-dive prompts (/explain, /quiz-me) that reinforce query plans, syntax, and best practices.
• Progress checkpoints and Done When criteria to make momentum visible every session.

Who it’s for

• Analysts and developers learning SQL who want structured, hands-on practice inside an AI CLI.
• Makers exploring Claude Code, Codex CLI, or Gemini CLI for real analytics workflows.
• Teams onboarding new data folks and needing a repeatable, AI-assisted training flow.

Requirements

• SQLite 3.36+ (or the version bundled with your OS).
• Claude Code, Codex CLI, or Gemini CLI (initial setup takes ~10 minutes).
  • Note: Some AI CLIs require a separate subscription to use them fully. Claude Code and Codex CLI each need a basic paid plan (~$20/month) or an API key, while Gemini CLI has a free tier for getting started.
• A code editor with an integrated terminal—VS Code or Cursor recommended.
• Use Responsibly: AI CLIs can modify files and interact with services and your computer when you grant permission; keep backups/version control and be careful when granting permissions to commands.

Why this works

No lecture bingeing or hollow exercises—just real SQL analysis, rapid feedback from your AI copilot, and clear milestones from Mission L01 through the capstone presentation.
