maintaining-dbt-documentation
From the author
Audits dbt documentation coverage and drafts missing model/column descriptions in the project's own house style, one folder at a time, for human review. Use when documenting undocumented models, backfilling missing YAML descriptions, auditing doc coverage, or keeping schema YAML in sync with model SQL — especially on multi-contributor projects where new models routinely land undocumented.

- querying-the-dbt-information-schemadbt-labs/dbt-agent-skillsUse when answering questions about a dbt v2 project's own metadata — which models, sources, tests, columns, configs, tags, packages or lineage exist, what is untested or undocumented, what depends on what, how long models took in the last run — or when using `dbt show --info`, `{{ info_schema() }}`, `--generate-info-schema`, `target/info_schema/`, or writing `dbt check` SQL. Prefer this over grepping YAML or parsing `manifest.json` on dbt v2.OfficialData★ 746
- adding-dbt-unit-testdbt-labs/dbt-agent-skillsCreates unit test YAML definitions that mock upstream model inputs and validate expected outputs. Use when adding unit tests for a dbt model or practicing test-driven development (TDD) in dbt.OfficialTesting★ 746
- dbt_ingestKaelio/ktxMap dbt `schema.yml` / `properties.yml` models and sources into ktx semantic-layer overlays and column notes. Covers `sources:` vs `models:`, column `data_tests` (not_null, unique, accepted_values, relationships), and how bundle-time writes complement manifest backfill from git sync. Load when the WorkUnit's `skillNames` includes `dbt_ingest` or when raw files are dbt YAML under `models/` / `sources/`.Data★ 1.6K
- working-with-dbt-meshdbt-labs/dbt-agent-skillsUse when changing a dbt model in a way that could break its consumers — renaming, removing, or retyping a column, or changing a model that downstream models, exposures, dashboards, or BI tools depend on — to judge whether the change is breaking and who it affects. Also use when versioning a model (model versions, latest_version, latest_version_pointer, deprecation_date, migration windows), enforcing contracts, setting access or groups, or doing multi-project dbt Mesh work (cross-project refs via dependencies.yml, disambiguating similarly-named models, splitting a monolith). Covers single- and multi-project, and planning or advising as well as implementing.OfficialData★ 746
- project-docsjezweb/claude-skillsGenerate project documentation from codebase analysis — ARCHITECTURE.md, API_ENDPOINTS.md, DATABASE_SCHEMA.md. Reads source code, schema files, routes, and config to produce accurate, structured docs. Use when starting a project, onboarding contributors, or when docs are missing or stale. Triggers: 'generate docs', 'document architecture', 'create api docs', 'document schema', 'project documentation', 'write architecture doc'.Writing★ 1.1K
- docx-toolkitborghei/Claude-SkillsAudit Microsoft Word (.docx) documents for heading hierarchy, comments, tracked changes, broken cross-references, and style consistency. Use when reviewing a contract draft, preparing a document for handoff, or enforcing a style guide.Documents★ 969
