How does it handle SQL formatting?

It enforces a standardized structure requiring all refs at the top in CTEs, descriptive CTE naming, 4-space indentation, and explicit join qualifiers.

Does it support staging, integration, and warehouse layers?

Absolutely. It has specific rules for stg_, int_, _dim, and _fct prefixes, including directory structure and materialization requirements for each layer.

Does it help with dbt testing and documentation?

Yes, it validates that every model has a schema.yml entry, primary keys have unique/not_null tests, and models are 100% documented.

When does the dbt Development skill activate?

The skill is proactive; it triggers whenever you are about to create or modify a .sql file within the models/ directory of a dbt project.

Can I use my team's specific dbt coding standards?

Yes, the skill prioritizes project-specific files like .dbt-conventions.md or dbt_coding_conventions.md in your project root before falling back to defaults.

Enforces standardized dbt coding conventions and validates model structures across staging, integration, and warehouse layers.

关于

The dbt Development skill provides a proactive framework for data engineers to maintain high-quality dbt projects. It automatically activates before SQL is written to ensure adherence to strict naming conventions, SQL structure patterns (like CTE-first designs), and field ordering rules. By validating models against project-specific or industry-standard conventions, it helps teams avoid technical debt, ensures consistent documentation, and mandates rigorous testing coverage for every model from staging to final facts and dimensions.
