Install
skills is a generic installer for any repository of Claude agent skills -- it reads dbt-labs/dbt-agent-skills’s own structure rather than assuming one, the same way this page reads the skill’s own SKILL.md rather than assuming a format.
npx skills add dbt-labs/dbt-agent-skills
What it connects to
Unverified means a mention in the skill’s own description, not a citation. A wrong claim here costs nothing to correct and nothing to trust yet.
Maintenance
Use when a user wants to upgrade, update, or migrate a dbt project to the latest version — e.g. "upgrade my dbt project," "migrate this off dbt 1.5," "get this project running on the latest dbt," "bump the dbt version." Upgrades a dbt v1 project (on 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, or 1.7) all the way to 1.12, applying the required breaking, behavior, and deprecated changes from a data-driven issue corpus. Inputs — starting_version (the project's current dbt minor, one of 1.3/1.4/1.5/1.6/1.7) and adapter_type (snowflake/redshift/bigquery/databricks/spark); both are normally supplied by the caller (e.g. the dbt VS Code extension), with fallbacks described in the skill.
