What problem does it solve?
It helps you design and implement dependable dlt ingestion pipelines that load DES Bronze datasets with correct write behavior, incremental state, schema evolution handling, and evidence for downstream phases.
Core Features & Use Cases
- dlt-based ingestion design for DES: Converts DES source assessment and ingestion specifications into a source/resource/destination plan.
- Write disposition + incremental state control: Selects append, replace, or merge, and defines cursor/state behavior including lag windows and backfill strategy.
- Schema evolution and contract behavior: Documents how dlt should react to drift (new columns, type changes, nested structure changes) and captures resulting evidence.
- Evidence-driven handoff: Produces load/pipeline evidence artifacts for Phase 08/09/12/13 and routes the work to the next stack skill (DuckDB/dbt/Fabric/Provero/Airflow).
Quick Start
Use the des-dlt-ingestion skill to generate a dlt ingestion plan and evidence for your REST API or SQL database source, aligned to your DES Phase 08 ingestion specification and Bronze layout.
