dbt-incremental-strategy-audit skillA
dbt-incremental-strategy-audit is agent-read markdown (skill) from yeaight7/agent-powerups: Use when reviewing a new or changed dbt incremental model -- the strategy looks over-engineered, rebuild or delete behavior is unclear, or the model deviates from how the rest of the repo handles incrementals..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
## Purpose Determine whether a dbt incremental model's chosen strategy is justified, understandable, maintainable, and consistent with repository conventions. The goal is not to praise clever implementations. Default stance: skeptical, low-risk, root-cause oriented, convention-preserving — prefer the simplest correct strategy. ## When to Use - Reviewing a new or modified `materialized='incremental'` model - An incremental model shows confusing runtime behavior: unexpected rebuilds, deletes, or reprocessing - A model deviates from the repo's established incremental conventions without explanation ## Inputs - The model SQL and its config: `incremental_strategy`, `unique_key`, `partition_by`/`cluster_by`/`partitions`, `pre_hook`/`post_hook` - Comparable incremental models in the same repo ## Workflow 1. **Understand the repo pattern first.** Inspect similar incremental models and how they configure their strategies: ```bash grep -rn "incremental_strategy" models/ grep -rln "is_incremental()" models/ ``` 2. **Explain the actual runtime behavior.** Compile the model and read the SQL that really runs — `is_incremental()` branches make the Jinja source misleading: …

How to install
mdr add yeaight7/agent-powerups/dbt-incremental-strategy-audit@git:20260605.79eb03fmdr add yeaight7/agent-powerups/dbt-incremental-strategy-audit@sha256:ac0849b05bb0f0a2Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
