What altimate-data-engineering-skills does

This package provides eleven targeted routines for data pipeline engineering. Seven instructions focus on dbt development: scaffolding models across layers, handling migration from raw SQL, writing tests, generating column docs, and refactoring dependencies. Rather than stopping at compilation, the workflow runs dbt build directly and reviews sample rows with dbt show.

Three specialized tasks handle Snowflake workloads. They locate resource-heavy executions by scanned data volume, inspect query profiles by identifier, and rewrite SQL statements without breaking data semantics. Another instruction delegates larger autonomous jobs to the external altimate-code tool.

Delegation needs Node 20 or higher alongside npm install -g altimate-code. The debugging workflow imposes a strict guardrail: after three unsuccessful build attempts, the process halts to rethink the solution.

What it helps with

  • convert legacy SQL scripts into structured dbt models
  • pinpoint heavy Snowflake queries by scanned bytes or execution runtime
  • attach schema tests and documentation to dbt marts
  • resolve compilation errors across upstream dbt dependencies
  • tune a slow query directly from its Snowflake query history identifier

Example prompts for the agent

  • Build a staging dbt model from our raw transactions table
  • Investigate this dbt compilation error and check dependencies
  • Tune this Snowflake query using its query ID
