What it does
The skill set from dbt Labs teaches agents to work with dbt: understand projects and run typical workflows, including migration. In Claude Code: `/plugin marketplace add dbt-labs/dbt-agent-skills`, then `/plugin install dbt@dbt-agent-marketplace` and `/plugin install dbt-migration@dbt-agent-marketplace`. Universal installation: `npx skills add dbt-labs/dbt-agent-skills`, the `--list` flag shows the contents, and a single skill installs as `npx skills add dbt-labs/dbt-agent-skills/skills/dbt`. The dbt Labs organization, Apache-2.0 license.
Who it is for. For analytics engineers and analysts who run dbt projects and want to give an agent knowledge of their structure and typical processes.
Good fit when
- You want the agent to understand your dbt project and its models
- You need help migrating a dbt project
- You need official skills from the vendor instead of third-party ones
Not a fit when
- You do not use dbt
- You are not ready for an agent to edit models and project configuration
Example request
Go through my dbt project, find models with no tests and suggest which tests to add firstLimitations
The skills work with your dbt project and can edit models and configuration, so work on a separate branch and check the result with dbt tests. Installing through npx skills add pulls the skill from the repository, so read its description in advance.
How to disable. Remove the plugins with /plugin uninstall or the skill folders from the agent's skills directory.
