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.
