Dbt Transformation Patterns
If you're working with dbt and want to move past the getting-started phase into production-ready patterns, this gives you structured guidance on the layering conventions (staging, intermediate, marts), testing strategies, and incremental model handling that separate hobby projects from maintainable pipelines. It covers the organizational decisions that tend to cause friction on teams: naming conventions, materialization choices, CI workflows, and when to actually document things. The implementation playbook is where the detailed patterns live. Honestly, this is most useful when you're setting up a new dbt project or inheriting one that needs structure, not when you're just writing a quick transformation.

dbt Transformation Patterns
Production-ready patterns for dbt (data build tool) including model organization, testing strategies, documentation, and incremental processing.
Use this skill when
- Building data transformation pipelines with dbt
- Organizing models into staging, intermediate, and marts layers
- Implementing data quality tests and documentation
- Creating incremental models for large datasets
- Setting up dbt project structure and conventions
Do not use this skill when
- The project is not using dbt or a warehouse-backed workflow
- You only need ad-hoc SQL queries
- There is no access to source data or schemas
Instructions
- Define model layers, naming, and ownership.
- Implement tests, documentation, and freshness checks.
- Choose materializations and incremental strategies.
- Optimize runs with selectors and CI workflows.
- If detailed patterns are required, open
resources/implementation-playbook.md.
