87%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
A well-structured, actionable reference that earns its tokens with dbt-specific knowledge and executable examples, deferring detail to two clearly signaled, real bundle files. The main gap is an explicit feedback loop for the batch build/test workflow.
Suggestions
Add an explicit validate→fix→retry loop for the build/test workflow, e.g. 'After dbt build, parse run_results.json; if any test failed, fix the model/test and re-run dbt build --select <failed node>+' before proceeding.
Frame the CI integration section as a numbered sequence with a checkpoint (run build → upload run_results.json as artifact → fail the pipeline on status:fail), so the gating decision is an explicit validated step rather than prose.
Include a short 'verify the test actually ran' check (e.g. confirm the expected test node appears in run_results.json) so practitioners can detect a misconfigured data_tests block that silently no-ops.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Lean and dbt-specific throughout — the tests/data_tests rename, the DAG-skip behavior, and the trailing-semicolon trap are exactly the non-obvious details Claude would not already know, with no padding about what dbt or SQL is. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Fully executable, copy-paste-ready artifacts: a complete schema.yml, a singular-test .sql, a Jinja {% test %} macro, dbt test/build selector commands, and jq one-liners against run_results.json. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Sections (Authoring → Running → Parsing failures → CI integration) imply a sequence, but there is no explicit validate→fix→retry feedback loop for what is a batch data-pipeline operation, which caps this dimension per the rubric. | 2 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | SKILL.md is a concise overview that clearly signals two real one-level-deep references (references/macros.md and references/ci-integration.md, both present) plus an explicit References list and external doc links. | 3 / 3 |
