SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

dbt model development across staging, intermediate, marts, incremental, and medallion architectures; use this skill to build new SQL models, extend existing ones, scaffold YAML configs, or reorganize project structure; powered by altimate-dbt.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Plan, discover, write, and validate dbt models following established layer patterns and medallion architecture.
  • Generate and manage YAML configs (sources.yml, schema.yml) and orchestrate launches via altimate-dbt commands.
  • Scaffold project structure and enforce best practices, error handling, and reproducible workflows across dbt projects.

Quick Start

Scaffold a new dbt project with staging, intermediate, and mart layers and generate base YAML configurations using altimate-dbt.

FAQPage Schema
How do I scaffold a dbt project with staging, intermediate, and mart layers?

To scaffold dbt models across staging, intermediate, and mart layers, this skill automates project structure generation and enforces medallion architecture patterns. It creates the necessary directories and base configurations to organize your data transformations.

What is the best way to generate YAML configs for dbt sources and schemas?

Generating YAML configs for dbt sources and schemas is handled automatically by scaffolding sources.yml and schema.yml files. The skill applies established layer patterns to populate configurations, reducing manual entry and enforcing project best practices.

Can I use this to reorganize an existing dbt project into a medallion architecture?

Yes, you can reorganize existing dbt projects into a medallion architecture. The skill supports building or restructuring SQL models across staging, intermediate, and marts while applying enforced workflows for plan, discover, write, and validate stages.

Do I need altimate-dbt to build and validate dbt models?

Yes, altimate-dbt powers the underlying orchestration and validation workflows for dbt model development. It enforces reproducible workflows, error handling, and best practices when launching or validating your generated dbt project structures.

When should I structure my dbt models using medallion architecture patterns?

You should use medallion architecture patterns when building multi-layer dbt projects that require clear separation of staging, intermediate, and marts. This approach enforces best practices for data quality, traceability, and reproducible transformation workflows.
