dbt Docs

Turn empty dbt docs into useful business context.

Document dbt models and columns with descriptions that explain meaning, not just names.

Make dbt docs useful with Altimate Code.

The problem it solves

dbt docs usually stay blank or just repeat the column name. That's useless for anyone who didn't write the model.

What it does

Reads model SQL and dbt context.
Drafts model and column descriptions.
Supports reusable documentation blocks.
Improves discoverability for analysts and business users.

When to use it

WHEN

adding docs to a new model

WHEN

improving a dbt docs site

WHEN

filling sparse schema YAML

WHEN

preparing data products for broader use

How it works

The skill reads the model SQL and dependencies, then writes descriptions that explain what each model and column actually does, not just what it's named.

Tools used

dbt_manifest

Parse dbt manifest metadata to understand models, sources, tests, and dependency structure.

dbt_lineage

Extract dbt model dependency and lineage context.
