dbt-incremental-strategy-audit SKILL.md skillA
This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.
dbt-incremental-strategy-audit from yeaight7/agent-powerups is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

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.
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 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@sha256:ac0849b05bb0f0a2The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260605.f90edb4, 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.
