dbt-workflows

dbt-workflows is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Kemetra/Seshat-BI. It costs 35 tokens per session (1,903 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A governed workflow for using dbt, a tool for building and testing SQL data models, within Seshat BI. It routes approved work through fixed selections, targets, profiles, locks, and artifact checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Scaffolding shadow models, compiling or testing approved models, checking parity with source data, and routing ordinary dbt development to the official owner.
Why use it?
It prevents dbt commands from bypassing readiness, source mappings, evidence, or reproducibility checks. It separates governed BI runs from general dbt authoring help.

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-workflows 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 7d 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.

Governed dbt workflows

Read ../../portable-operating-contract.md before acting. For a governed Seshat shadow workflow, use only the installed seshat dbt helpers; never bypass their fixed selector, target, profile, lock, redaction, or artifact checks with raw dbt commands.

Intent ownership

User intent Seshat pre-gate Execution owner Seshat afterward
Decide whether dbt fits the current BI stage Readiness and approved-mapping context Seshat selection policy State one truthful next action
Scaffold governed shadow models Approved committed source map Seshat source-map-derived scaffold Validate citations and the meta.seshat contract
Governed compile, build, test, or parity Mapping Ready, exact selector, shadow target, and accepted immutable plan dbt Core through seshat dbt Normalize artifacts into derived evidence, blockers, and parity findings
Generic dbt model authoring, test design, syntax, docs, or troubleshooting Prove the official skill is activated and discoverable Official dbt Labs agent skills If the work enters Seshat's governed project, return through the Seshat gates above
Native dbt MCP configuration or tool use Prove the exact MCP registration is activated and discoverable Official dbt MCP and its official configuration skill Do not infer a readiness effect; route governed execution back through seshat dbt
Switch from migrations to dbt Passing parity evidence plus a named-human approval Named human Retain migrations as parity oracle and rollback path

Spec 148 provides the read-only harness proof for the official dbt Labs agent skills. Before routing generic competence, run seshat integrations setup --profile analytics-full --harness <claude-code|codex> and require the dbt-agent-skills result to be discoverable. MCP liveness remains a separate preflight fact. Report the exact blocker for either surface; do not copy official guidance into this router, claim an installed payload is usable, or execute raw dbt commands against the governed project as a fallback.

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-workflows is a skill published in the GitHub repository Kemetra/Seshat-BI (2 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 35 tokens to every session and 1,903 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-09-03.
