HOW — Run dbt checks as documented in the target repo (parse, compile, test, selective run). Does not configure Snowflake accounts or change cloud security.

dbt validation (HOW)
Use when the repository is a dbt project or the task requires dbt verification. Client workflows may delegate here.
Boundaries
Follow repoAGENTS.md, Makefile, README, and CI—not generic guesses.
Do not change Snowflake security settings, network rules, or warehouse admin from this skill.
If dbt or credentials are missing, say so and do not claim validation passed.
Discovery
Look for dbt_project.yml, packages.yml, models/, Makefile, pyproject.toml, or CI jobs that invoke dbt.
Typical commands (examples only—prefer repo docs)
Intent
Often used (verify in repo)
Syntax / graph
dbt parse, dbt compile
Dependencies
dbt deps when packages change
Tests
dbt test or subset flags the repo documents
Build
dbt run / dbt build when the user approves mutating runs
Makefile wrappers (e.g. make parse) take precedence when documented.
Evidence
Summarize which commands ran and high-level outcome (pass/fail/skipped) for tickets and PRs.
On failure, capture actionable error lines; do not dump full logs unless the user asks.
Safety
Prefer read-only checks (parse, compile, test) when the task is review-only.
Production runs require explicit user approval per repo policy.
