using-dbt-for-analytics-engineering
Builds and modifies dbt models, writes SQL transformations using ref() and source(), creates tests, and validates results with dbt show. Use when doing any dbt work - building or modifying models, debugging errors, exploring unfamiliar data sources, writing tests, or evaluating impact of changes.
326adding-dbt-unit-test
Creates unit test YAML definitions that mock upstream model inputs and validate expected outputs. Use when adding unit tests for a dbt model or practicing test-driven development (TDD) in dbt.
305running-dbt-commands
Formats and executes dbt CLI commands, selects the correct dbt executable, and structures command parameters. Use when running models, tests, builds, compiles, or show queries via dbt CLI. Use when unsure which dbt executable to use or how to format command parameters.
287answering-natural-language-questions-with-dbt
Writes and executes SQL queries against the data warehouse using dbt's Semantic Layer or ad-hoc SQL to answer business questions. Use when a user asks about analytics, metrics, KPIs, or data (e.g., "What were total sales last quarter?", "Show me top customers by revenue"). NOT for validating, testing, or building dbt models during development.
286troubleshooting-dbt-job-errors
Diagnoses dbt Cloud/platform job failures by analyzing run logs, querying the Admin API, reviewing git history, and investigating data issues. Use when a dbt Cloud/platform job fails and you need to diagnose the root cause, especially when error messages are unclear or when intermittent failures occur. Do not use for local dbt development errors.
