What problem does it solve? Running dbt against a governed analytics project risks bypassing readiness gates, breaking mapping approvals, and producing unverifiable results. This Skill routes every dbt intent to the correct owner and enforces Seshat's fixed selector, target, plan, and evidence workflow. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Intent Routing: Directs dbt tasks to Seshat's governed shadow workflow, the official dbt Labs agent skills, or the official dbt MCP based on the user's intent. - Governed Execution Pipeline: Runs the fixed sequence of doctor, scaffold, validate, plan, build, and inspect-run commands with immutable plan digests and drift detection. - Contract Enforcement: Applies the meta.seshat model contract so every model cites a committed source map revision and every output column carries a citation or governed derivation. - Use Case: A data engineer needs to build a governed gold fact table from an approved source map. The Skill scaffolds staging and gold models, validates the Mapping Ready gate, produces a reviewable plan, and executes the build only after the digest is accepted. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to run seshat dbt doctor and then scaffold, validate, plan, and build the governed dbt models for a specific table.
