adding-dbt-unit-testCreates 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.
answering-natural-language-questions-with-dbtWrites and executes SQL queries against the data warehouse using dbt's Semantic Layer or ad-hoc SQL to answer business questions. Use when a user asks about analytics, metrics, KPIs, or data (e.g., "What were total sales last quarter?", "Show me top customers by revenue"). NOT for validating, testing, or building dbt models during development.
building-dbt-semantic-layerUse when creating or modifying dbt Semantic Layer components — semantic models, metrics, dimensions, entities, measures, or time spines. Covers MetricFlow configuration, metric types (simple, derived, cumulative, ratio, conversion), and validation for both latest and legacy YAML specs.
configuring-dbt-mcp-serverGenerates MCP server configuration JSON, resolves authentication setup, and validates server connectivity for dbt. Use when setting up, configuring, or troubleshooting the dbt MCP server for AI tools like Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, or VS Code.
fetching-dbt-docsRetrieves and searches dbt documentation pages in LLM-friendly markdown format. Use when fetching dbt documentation, looking up dbt features, or answering questions about dbt Cloud, dbt Core, or the dbt Semantic Layer.
