Setup

Altimate Setup

Set up the AI data engineer before the work starts.

Connect Altimate to your warehouse and dbt project so the agent has context from day one.

Connect your warehouse first.

The problem it solves

General AI coding tools often start from a blank prompt. For data engineering, that means the assistant does not know the warehouse, dbt project, schema context, or team setup until the user explains it manually.

What it does

Guides the user through Altimate platform credential setup.
Validates that the agent can access configured Altimate resources.
Supports the setup flow that makes later skills more useful.
Pairs naturally with environment discovery and warehouse configuration.

When to use it

WHEN

setting up Altimate Code for the first time

WHEN

reconnecting or updating Altimate platform credentials

BEFORE

running workflows that depend on platform or metadata access

How it works

Collect credentials, write local configuration, validate platform access, then hand off to discovery and warehouse setup workflows.

Tools used

datamate_manager

Manage Altimate platform datamate resources and validate platform access.

project_scan

Scan the local data engineering environment for dbt projects, warehouse connections, tooling, and config.

warehouse_discover

Discover local database containers and connection candidates.

warehouse_test

Validate that a configured warehouse connection works.
