create-custom-dagster-component

You can scaffold a Dagster component using the `dg scaffold component <ComponentName>` CLI command. This automates the creation of demo-mode logic and realistic asset scaffolding while ensuring asset keys remain identical across demo and production modes.

The `dg check defs` command validates that newly scaffolded Dagster components load correctly. It runs automated checks against your definitions to ensure production-ready assets and dependencies are properly resolved before deployment.

Yes, this process optionally creates a component instance YAML scaffold for demo or production usage. It enforces YAML frontmatter with a name and description to ensure the Dagster component is instantiated correctly.

The best way to maintain identical asset keys across demo and production modes is to use the dg CLI scaffolder. It enforces key consistency during component creation so that demo-mode logic and production-ready assets resolve to the same dependencies.

Yes, the dg CLI is required to create custom Dagster components using this approach. It provides the necessary `dg scaffold` and `dg check defs` commands to generate scaffolding and validate definitions for production-ready assets.
