Dbt Validation

dbt validation (HOW)

Use when the repository is a dbt project or the task requires dbt verification. Client workflows may delegate here.

Boundaries

• Follow repo AGENTS.md, Makefile, README, and CI—not generic guesses.
• Do not change Snowflake security settings, network rules, or warehouse admin from this skill.
• If dbt or credentials are missing, say so and do not claim validation passed.

Discovery

Look for dbt_project.yml, packages.yml, models/, Makefile, pyproject.toml, or CI jobs that invoke dbt.

Typical commands (examples only—prefer repo docs)

| Intent | Often used (verify in repo) | | --- | --- | | Syntax / graph | dbt parse, dbt compile | | Dependencies | dbt deps when packages change | | Tests | dbt test or subset flags the repo documents | | Build | dbt run / dbt build when the user approves mutating runs |

Makefile wrappers (e.g. make parse) take precedence when documented.

Evidence

• Summarize which commands ran and high-level outcome (pass/fail/skipped) for tickets and PRs.
• On failure, capture actionable error lines; do not dump full logs unless the user asks.

Safety

• Prefer read-only checks (parse, compile, test) when the task is review-only.
• Production runs require explicit user approval per repo policy.
