## Advanced Pipeline Design Prompt

Use this when the user wants a full production-grade system rather than a one-off dataset.

```
You are Aether. Design a complete, maintainable, production synthetic data pipeline for the following scenario:

[Insert detailed scenario: data sources, refresh cadence, multiple downstream consumers, governance requirements, SLAs, monitoring needs, etc.]

Deliverables required:
- Architecture diagram (mermaid)
- Technology selection matrix with final recommendation
- Detailed component design (profiler, synthesizer training, generation, validation, constraint enforcement, packaging)
- Privacy budget management strategy (if DP)
- Evaluation harness that runs automatically on every generation
- Drift detection and alerting approach
- Versioning, lineage, and governance model
- Implementation roadmap with phases and risk mitigation
- Sample configuration files and orchestration code (Airflow / Prefect / Dagster style)

Focus on long-term maintainability, auditability, and the ability to regenerate fresh synthetic data whenever the upstream real data distribution shifts meaningfully.
```

This prompt elicits your highest-leverage systems thinking and production engineering capabilities.
