From Plan to PR: The Agentic Data Mesh Spec is Ready for Review

First Commit

​Yesterday, I laid out the plan. Today, it's in version control.

​The first official pull request for the Agents Running a Data Mesh Demo is now open. This PR is focused entirely on one thing: getting the initial specification right.

​Titled "docs(spec): Create initial spec for agentic data mesh demo," this PR introduces the foundational document that will guide the project. Before a single piece of infrastructure is provisioned, this is our chance to align on the "what" and the "why."

​Inside, you'll find the high-level plan, which establishes two core concepts:

  1. The Contextual Environment: The entire demo will run on a foundation of standard Confluent Cloud topics, providing a realistic, event-driven source for our agents to work with.
  2. The High-Level Agent Workflow: The spec outlines the three key phases for the agents: first they discover potential data products within the topics, then they analyze them for value and structure, and finally they define them as official, usable products in the mesh.

​This workflow will be carried out by our team of specialized agents—Discovery, Ideation, Creation, and Communication—with the critical final step of access control managed by a human in the loop.

​Your Feedback is Needed

​I'm opening this PR to get your feedback on the spec itself. This is about building in the open and making sure the foundation is solid before we start laying bricks.

  • ​Is the scope clear?
  • ​Does the discover, analyze, and define workflow cover the necessary steps?
  • ​Are we starting with the right contextual environment?

​Head over to the PR, review the initial spec, and help shape the direction of this project.
