altimate-code

A command-line coding agent focused on dbt, a tool for building data transformations, and data warehouses, which store and query large datasets. It has more than 100 tools for data-engineering work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Working with Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, Databricks, Postgres, MySQL, and DuckDB; examining column-level lineage; analysing downstream impact; and running dbt work against a real data warehouse.
Why use it?
It routes warehouse and dbt tasks to an agent built for those systems, including work that requires tracing data dependencies or checking the effect of changes.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade C, and why

altimate-code scanned grade C with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 120 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

altimate-code

altimate-code is a CLI AI agent with 100+ purpose-built data engineering tools. This skill exists for one purpose: delegate the user's task to altimate-code and pass the result back. Native tools (Bash, Edit, Write, Read) are NOT a fallback path inside this skill — if altimate-code cannot complete the task, surface the failure to the user and STOP.

You MUST follow this workflow

  1. Verify altimate-code is on PATH with command -v altimate-code. If it returns nothing, jump to "Not installed" below and stop.
  2. Run altimate-code with the user's task using the invocation below. Pass the user's request through verbatim — do not paraphrase or split it.
  3. Read the output file and present it to the user as-is.

Do not attempt the work with Edit/Write/Bash yourself, even if it looks simple. The whole point of this skill is to route data-engineering work to the agent that's built for it. If you find yourself reaching for Edit or Write while this skill is active, stop and re-read this paragraph.

Invocation — pick the right agent for the task

altimate-code has multiple agent personas. The default (builder) does a full project discovery sweep on every call — fine for warehouse-state work but ~10–20× more expensive than necessary on simple file edits. Pick the agent based on task shape before invoking.

Step 1 — classify the task

Shape Examples Use
Any dbt / SQL task (rename, refactor, create model, debug, structural reorg, multi-step setup) the vast majority of customer requests fast-edit — try this first
Multi-table aggregation correctness new model joining 3+ tables with count(*) / sum() over (...) / "first X, last X" logic that must be exactly right analyst if fast-edit fails the user's verification
Warehouse-state work column-level lineage, downstream-impact, cross-DB migration / parity, query cost attribution against a real warehouse, schema diff between environments, PII detection, FinOps reporting builder (default — has warehouse tools enabled)
Vague debug ("X is broken", "make it work", "fix this") unspecified failure mode Don't delegate yet. Ask the user for the specific error message or symptom before invoking any agent — empirically all three agents fail vague debug prompts at ~700K tokens each.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

altimate-code is a skill published in the GitHub repository AltimateAI/altimate-claude-plugin (4 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 182 tokens to every session and 2,012 once invoked, about $0.0009 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
