snowflake-dbt-model-refactoring

When to invoke

Trigger this skill when any of the following is true for a target dbt model on a Snowflake-backed dbt project:

• More than ~200 lines
• More than 5 joins in a single query block
• A CTE longer than ~50 lines
• Logic duplicated across 3+ models (payment pivots, RFM buckets, etc.)
• Hardcoded lists / thresholds repeated inline
• Downstream consumers exist and would be affected by structural changes

If the project targets BigQuery, Redshift, or Databricks, use the generic refactoring-dbt-models skill instead — Phase 7's warehouse benchmark is Snowflake-specific.
