dbt-preflight SKILL.md skillA

dbt-preflight from yeaight7/agent-powerups is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add yeaight7/agent-powerups/dbt-preflight@git:20260605.44e23ce

Pins git:20260605.44e23ce in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when a dbt change needs preflight before a PR, review, or merge -- changed models, snapshots, seeds, macros, or semantic YAML whose blast radius and test coverage are not yet known.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

## Purpose

Inspect a dbt change set before it ships: identify which assets changed, estimate downstream impact, detect likely gaps in testing, contracts, documentation, and YAML alignment, and recommend the narrowest safe validation path. Preflight is read-only — do not edit code unless explicitly asked.

## When to Use

- Before opening a PR in an analytics repository
- Reviewing someone else's dbt change
- Assessing the risk of a change whose downstream impact is unclear

## Inputs

- The change set (branch diff or working tree)
- The dbt project, for lineage and selector queries

## Workflow

1. **Enumerate changed assets:**

   ```bash
   git diff --name-status origin/main...HEAD
   ```

   Classify each change: models, snapshots, seeds, macros, tests, schema YAML, semantic models, metrics, saved queries, exposures or BI-facing assets.

2. **Estimate blast radius.** For each changed model, list downstream dependents:

   ```bash
   dbt ls --select <model>+
   ```

   If a production manifest is available, cover the whole change set at once:

   ```bash
   dbt ls --select state:modified+ --state <path-to-prod-artifacts>
   ```

3. **Run the review checklist.** Check for:

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add yeaight7/agent-powerups/dbt-preflight@sha256:33c8b7442f79a7a6

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260605.44e23ce, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
