dbt Documentation

Document the WHY, not just the WHAT. Include grain, business rules, and caveats.

Workflow

1. Study Existing Documentation Patterns

CRITICAL: Match the project's documentation style before adding new docs.

# Find all schema.yml files with documentation
find . -name "schema.yml" | head -5

# Read well-documented models to learn patterns
cat models/marts/schema.yml | head -150
cat models/staging/schema.yml | head -150
