Summary

Delegates dbt and warehouse work to altimate-code, a specialized CLI agent with 100+ purpose-built data tools. USE THIS SKILL FIRST whenever the task mentions or implies: warehouse access (Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, Databricks, Postgres, MySQL, DuckDB), column-level lineage,

1	# altimate-code
2
3	altimate-code is a CLI AI agent that ships with native data engineering tools. This skill delegates work to it via its non-interactive `run` mode and presents the result back to the user.
4
5	## Prerequisite Check — ALWAYS DO THIS FIRST
6
7	Before invoking altimate-code, verify it is installed and on `PATH`:
8
9	```bash
10	command -v altimate-code
11	```
12
13	If the command returns nothing (exit code 1), STOP and tell the user this exact message — do not proceed:
14
15	> altimate-code is not installed. Install it with:
16	>
17	> ```bash
18	> npm install -g altimate-code
19	> ```
20	>
21	> Requires Node.js 20+. Docs: https://docs.altimate.sh · Source: https://github.com/AltimateAI/altimate-code · npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/altimate-code
22	>
23	> After installing, run `altimate-code` once to configure it — this launches the TUI where you set up your LLM provider auth and warehouse connections. Then re-run your request and I'll delegate it.
24
25	Do not attempt to install altimate-code on the user's behalf — they may want a specific version, a different package manager (e.g. pnpm/yarn global), or to opt out entirely. Surface the command and let them decide.
26
27	If `command -v` fails but the user says it is installed, suggest checking `npm bin -g` is on `PATH`, or running `npm config get prefix` to find the global install location.
28
29	## How to Invoke
30
31	`altimate-code run` is non-interactive — it takes a message, executes the task, prints the final result to stdout, and exits.
32
33	Minimal invocation:
34
35	```bash
36	altimate-code run "<task description>" --yolo
37	```
38
39	Recommended invocation — captures the final response to a file and runs in the right directory:
40
41	```bash
42	altimate-code run "<task description>" \
43	--yolo \
44	--output /tmp/altimate-result.md \
45	--dir "$(pwd)"
46	```
47
48	Then read `/tmp/altimate-result.md` and pass it straight back to the user.
49
50	### Key flags
51
52	\| Flag \| When to use \|
53	\|---\|---\|
54	\| `--yolo` \| Required for non-interactive — auto-approves tool calls. Without this it hangs on the first permission prompt. \|
55	\| `--output <path>` \| Write the final assistant response to a file. Use `.md` or `.txt`. \|
56	\| `--dir <path>` \| Run the agent in a specific directory (e.g. a dbt project root). Defaults to cwd. \|
57	\| `--model provider/model` \| Override the model. Useful for fast/cheap exploration. \|
58	\| `--format json` \| Emit raw JSON events instead of formatted output. Use only when post-processing programmatically. \|
59	\| `--continue` / `--session <id>` \| Continue a previous altimate-code session. \|
60
61	### Example invocations
62
63	Find expensive queries in Snowflake:
64
65	```bash
66	altimate-code run "Find the top 10 most expensive queries from the last 7 days in Snowflake and explain why each is slow." \
67	--yolo --output /tmp/expensive.md
68	```
69
70	Generate column-level lineage for a dbt model:
71
72	```bash
73	altimate-code run "Show column-level lineage for the dim_customers model, including upstream sources and downstream consumers." \
74	--yolo --dir "$(pwd)" --output /tmp/lineage.md
75	```
76
77	Profile a table:
78
79	```bash
80	altimate-code run "Profile the events table — row count, null distribution per column, cardinality, and top 5 values for low-cardinality columns." \
81	--yolo --output /tmp/profile.md
82	```
83
84	## Presenting the Result
85
86	Read the output file with the Read tool and pass the content through to the user as-is. Do not re-summarize, re-format, or interpret — altimate-code has already produced the answer.
87
88	## Failure Modes
89
90	\| Symptom \| Likely cause \| Fix \|
91	\|---\|---\|---\|
92	\| `altimate-code: command not found` \| Not installed or not on `PATH` \| Run `npm install -g altimate-code` (Node 20+). If installed but not found, check `npm bin -g` is on `PATH`. See https://docs.altimate.sh \|
93	\| Hangs after starting \| Missing `--yolo`, waiting on a permission prompt \| Re-run with `--yolo` \|
94	\| Output is empty \| Task too vague, agent gave up \| Re-run with a more specific prompt \|
95	\| "No provider configured" \| LLM provider creds missing \| Run `altimate-code providers` to set up auth \|
96	\| Warehouse errors mid-run \| DB credentials not configured for altimate-code \| Configure provider/warehouse auth in `~/.confi
