Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00067 | $0.01405 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00027 | $0.00562 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00013 | $0.00281 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00140 |
Grade A, and why
using-dbt-for-analytics-engineering 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 1mo 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.
This is a copy
89% identical to using-dbt-for-analytics-engineering — 6 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Using dbt for Analytics Engineering
Core principle: Apply software engineering discipline (DRY, modularity, testing) to data transformation work through dbt's abstraction layer.
When to Use
- Building new dbt models, sources, or tests
- Modifying existing model logic or configurations
- Refactoring a dbt project structure
- Creating analytics pipelines or data transformations
- Working with warehouse data that needs modeling
Do NOT use for:
- Querying the semantic layer (use the
answering-natural-language-questions-with-dbtskill)
Reference Guides
This skill includes detailed reference guides for specific techniques. Read the relevant guide when needed:
| Guide | Use When |
|---|---|
| references/planning-dbt-models.md | Building new models - work backwards from desired output and use dbt show to validate results |
| references/discovering-data.md | Exploring unfamiliar sources or onboarding to a project |
| references/writing-data-tests.md | Adding tests - prioritize high-value tests over exhaustive coverage |
| references/debugging-dbt-errors.md | Fixing project parsing, compilation, or database errors |
| references/evaluating-impact-of-a-dbt-model-change.md | Assessing downstream effects before modifying models |
| references/writing-documentation.md | Write documentation that doesn't just restate the column name |
| references/managing-packages.md | Installing and managing dbt packages |
DAG building guidelines
- Conform to the existing style of a project (medallion layers, stage/intermediate/mart, etc)
- Focus heavily on DRY principles.
- Before adding a new model or column, always be sure that the same logic isn't already defined elsewhere that can be used.
- Prefer a change that requires you to add one column to an existing intermediate model over adding an entire additional model to the project.

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.

using-dbt-for-analytics-engineering is a skill published in the GitHub repository Kilo-Org/kilo-marketplace (195 stars, last pushed 27d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 67 tokens to every session and 1,405 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 89% identical to using-dbt-for-analytics-engineering, differing in 6 lines, and is treated as a copy.
