dbt-strategy 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-strategy 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-strategy@git:20260606.52c8642

Pins git:20260606.52c8642 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when creating or modifying dimensional dbt models in warehouse-backed analytics projects. Covers a four-layer warehouse architecture (sources/staging/core/marts), naming conventions, no-alias SQL rule, surrogate-key and missing-record patterns, incremental strategies, deduplication, and common project macros. Use when building fact tables, dimension tables, staging models, writing SQL, or designing tests.

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 Strategy

Patterns for building dbt models in warehouse-backed analytics projects using Kimball-style dimensional modeling.

## Layer Architecture

```
sources/     Source views — raw data from app DB, event stream, billing, CRM, LMS
    ↓
staging/     Intermediate transformations (keep minimal — new models go directly to core/)
    ↓
core/        Fact and dimension tables (main transformation layer)   → tables
    ↓
marts/       Business aggregations built on top of core             → tables
```

Put new models in `core/` directly. Use `staging/` only when complex intermediate joins are truly necessary.

### Naming Conventions

| Layer    | Prefix  | Example                                         |
|----------|---------|-------------------------------------------------|
| Sources  | `src_`  | `src_app_teams`, `src_events`                   |
| Staging  | `stg_`  | `stg_teams`, `stg_billing_customers`            |
| Core dim | `dim_`  | `dim_teams`, `dim_users`                        |
| Core fct | `fct_`  | `fct_team_members`, `fct_team_budgets`          |
| Marts    | `mart_` | `mart_team_overview`, `mart_creation_overview`  |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add yeaight7/agent-powerups/dbt-strategy@sha256:3666eff5e4200345

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260606.52c8642, 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.
