Every enterprise conversation about AI hits the same wall, usually within the first 30 minutes:
"This looks great. But we can't give you access to our production data."
And they're right to say it. Their data is regulated, customer-owned, or both. So the demo dies before it starts — not because the AI can't do the job, but because nobody can safely show that it can.
I ran into this enough times that I built a CLI around the answer to that objection. It's called claude-query — you point it at a data source (PostgreSQL, CSV, JSON, Notion, Airtable), ask a question in plain English, and Claude constructs and runs the query. Standard text-to-SQL, more or less.
The interesting part isn't the happy path. It's a single flag: --schema-only.
