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
Maintenance
Use 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.
