What problem does it solve?
The skill provides a guided, repeatable approach to building and updating the dbt Semantic Layer components—semantic models, entities, dimensions, and metrics—using MetricFlow to ensure consistent definitions across projects.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Enable and configure semantic models by adding the semantic_model block to model YAML.
- Define primary and foreign entities, time-based dimensions, and business metrics within YAML.
- Design derived, cross-model, and time-based metrics and validate configurations with dbt parse and MetricFlow tooling.
Quick Start
Define the semantic_model, entities, dimensions, and metrics in your model YAML as shown, then run the appropriate validation commands to verify correctness.
