dbt-pr-review

dbt-pr-review is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from AltimateAI/altimate-code. It costs 79 tokens per session (825 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review workflow for dbt and SQL pull requests, where dbt is a tool for building data models in a warehouse. It produces an approve, comment, or request-changes decision backed by checks on lineage, result equivalence, privacy data, and model impact.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for reviewing changed dbt models, tracing which downstream models or columns may be affected, checking whether a refactor preserves results, and identifying privacy or contract problems.
Why use it?
It helps catch downstream breakage, exposed personal data, changed query results, and costly warehouse patterns before a change is merged. The findings are tied to repeatable checks instead of relying only on reading the diff.

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 A, and why

dbt-pr-review scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 5d 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

dbt PR Review

Requirements

Agent: reviewer (read-only) — also works from analyst/builder. Tools used: dbt_pr_review (primary), impact_analysis, altimate_core_equivalence, altimate_core_check, lineage_check, read-only git.

When to Use This Skill

Use when the user wants to:

  • Review a dbt pull request (changed models) before merge
  • Get a single verdict (APPROVE / COMMENT / REQUEST_CHANGES) with evidence
  • Understand the downstream blast radius of a model/column change
  • Check whether a "refactor" actually preserves results (query equivalence)
  • Catch PII exposure, contract breaks, or warehouse-cost anti-patterns pre-merge

What makes this different from a generic AI reviewer

Generic reviewers read the diff as text and guess. This review is backed by the Rust core: every blocking finding carries a deterministic proof (an equivalence counterexample, a downstream-model list, a PII classification). The verdict is signed into a replayable envelope keyed to the dbt manifest.

Workflow

  1. Run the verdict engine. Call dbt_pr_review once:

    • dbt_pr_review({}) reviews the working tree against origin/main.
    • dbt_pr_review({ base: "origin/main", head: "HEAD", manifest_path: "target/manifest.json" }) for an explicit PR range.
    • The tool reads .altimate/review.yml for the per-repo rubric and mode.
  2. Read the signed envelope. It contains the verdict, a risk tier (trivial / lite / full), and findings grouped by severity (critical / warning / suggestion), each with engine evidence.

  3. Present the verdict exactly as returned. Group findings by severity. If the run is degraded (no manifest/warehouse), state that lineage, equivalence, and data-impact were NOT verified — it is a lint-only review.

  4. Respect the safety invariant. An UNDECIDABLE equivalence result is a WARNING, never a block. Never claim a refactor is unsafe when equivalence could not be decided — recommend a data-diff instead.

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.

dbt-pr-review is a skill published in the GitHub repository AltimateAI/altimate-code (805 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 79 tokens to every session and 825 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
