How do I include downstream dependencies in a command?

You can use the graph operator '+' after a model name (e.g., '--select my_model+') to include the model and all of its downstream dependencies.

Can I preview data without running a full model build?

Yes, the skill utilizes the 'dbt show' command with '--limit' to preview specific models or even arbitrary inline SQL queries using dbt's ref system.

Does this skill support dbt Cloud CLI?

Yes, it is designed to recognize and use dbt Cloud CLI, dbt Core, and dbt Fusion, helping users select the correct executable for their specific setup.

Why does this skill prefer 'dbt build' over 'dbt run'?

'dbt build' is more robust because it executes runs and tests in the correct DAG order. Unlike 'dbt test', it ensures that model changes are refreshed before testing.

Optimizes and executes dbt CLI workflows with smart command formatting and resource selection.

This skill empowers AI agents to interact efficiently with dbt (data build tool) by automating the selection of appropriate executables—including dbt Core, Fusion, and Cloud CLI—and formatting complex command parameters. It enforces industry best practices such as prioritizing 'dbt build' over separate run and test cycles, implementing advanced graph selectors for precise resource targeting, and standardizing error-handling flags. Whether you are previewing data with inline SQL or analyzing run results from JSON artifacts, this skill ensures your data transformation pipelines are executed reliably and with minimal noise.
