Master dbt (data build tool) for analytics engineering with model organization, testing, documentation, and incremental strategies. Use when building data transformations, creating data models, or implementing analytics engineering best practices.
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
# dbt Transformation Patterns
Production-ready patterns for dbt (data build tool) including model organization, testing strategies, documentation, and incremental processing.
## When to Use This Skill
- Building data transformation pipelines with dbt
- Organizing models into staging, intermediate, and marts layers
- Implementing data quality tests
- Creating incremental models for large datasets
- Documenting data models and lineage
- Setting up dbt project structure
## Core Concepts
### 1. Model Layers (Medallion Architecture)
```
sources/ Raw data definitions
↓
staging/ 1:1 with source, light cleaning
↓
intermediate/ Business logic, joins, aggregations
↓
marts/ Final analytics tables
```
### 2. Naming Conventions
| Layer | Prefix | Example |
| ------------ | -------------- | ----------------------------- |
| Staging | `stg_` | `stg_stripe__payments` |
| Intermediate | `int_` | `int_payments_pivoted` |
| Marts | `dim_`, `fct_` | `dim_customers`, `fct_orders` |
## Quick Start
```yaml
# dbt_project.yml
name: "analytics"
version: "1.0.0"

How to install
mdr add dicklesworthstone/pi_agent_rust/dbt-transformation-patterns@sha256:323cac3761e42e9fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260205.788be98, 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.
