# Project Summary for Recruiter/Stakeholder

## Project: beast-dream-snow-loader

**GitHub:** https://github.com/nkllon/beast-dream-snow-loader  
**PyPI:** https://pypi.org/project/beast-dream-snow-loader/ (Beta pre-release)  
**Timeline:** Complete MVP in single development session (~5 hours from repo init to publishable)

## What It Does

**UniFi Dream Machine → ServiceNow CMDB Data Loader**

Transforms and loads UniFi network infrastructure data (gateways, sites, devices, clients) into ServiceNow CMDB for network asset management and discovery.

**Complete Integration:**
- Reads UniFi network data (hosts, sites, devices, clients)
- Transforms UniFi schema to ServiceNow CMDB schema
- Loads transformed data into ServiceNow via REST API
- Handles relationships and dependencies automatically

## Technical Highlights

### Architecture & Patterns

**Beast Framework Approach:**
- Spec-driven development (requirements → design → implementation)
- Type-safe data models (Pydantic)
- Comprehensive unit testing
- Automated quality gates (Black, Ruff, MyPy)
- Complete documentation

**ServiceNow Integration:**
- REST API client with multiple authentication methods
- Flexible table support (specific CI types or base table fallback)
- Two-phase relationship linking
- Batch operations with dependency resolution
- Graceful degradation (works with or without plugins)

### Key Features

1. **Data Transformation:**
   - Nested field flattening (UniFi nested JSON → ServiceNow flat schema)
   - Field mapping with configuration
   - Source data preservation (raw data stored for audit)
   - Relationship preservation (two-phase linking)

2. **ServiceNow API Client:**
   - Multiple auth methods: API key (preferred), OAuth, Basic Auth
   - 1Password CLI integration for secure credentials
   - Table existence checking
   - Full CRUD operations

3. **Data Loading:**
   - Batch loading with dependency awareness
   - Automatic relationship linking
   - Changeset support (detection and association)
   - Error handling and reporting

### Code Quality

- **Type Safety:** Full Pydantic models with validation
- **Testing:** Comprehensive unit tests (all models, transformers)
- **Quality Gates:** Black, Ruff, MyPy configured and passing
- **Documentation:** Complete guides, examples, API docs
- **CI/CD:** GitHub Actions for testing, PyPI publishing, SonarCloud

## Development Velocity

- Comprehensive documentation
- Reusable patterns and examples
- Open source (MIT license)

## Demonstration

**Complete Workflow Example:**
```bash
# Install
pip install --pre beast-dream-snow-loader

# Configure
export SERVICENOW_INSTANCE="your-instance.service-now.com"
export SERVICENOW_USERNAME="your-username"
export SERVICENOW_API_KEY="your-api-key"

# Run complete example
python examples/complete_workflow.py
```

**What It Demonstrates:**
- End-to-end data transformation
- ServiceNow integration
- Relationship handling
- Error handling
- Complete workflow from source to destination

## Next Steps
