Use when working with SQLMesh — writing or editing MODEL blocks, Python @model decorators, Python @macros, audits, unit tests, external_models.yaml, or seeds; running `sqlmesh plan/apply/audit/render/evaluate/test`; debugging plans, snapshots, virtual environments, or state issues; configuring `config.py`, gateways, or `before_all`/`after_all` hooks; choosing a model kind (FULL, INCREMENTAL_BY_TIME_RANGE, INCREMENTAL_BY_UNIQUE_KEY, VIEW, SEED, EMBEDDED, SCD_TYPE_2, EXTERNAL, MANAGED); migrating a project from dbt; or asking whether SQLMesh is still maintained. Trigger on these terms even when the user does not name the tool. SQLMesh changes quickly and the model's prior knowledge is often wrong — fetch the canonical docs at https://sqlmesh.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ before answering anything non-trivial.
