dbt-transformation-adapterlisted

Run dbt as the build ENGINE for silver/gold ONLY behind the Mapping Ready gate, and record its run/test/parity output as DERIVED evidence -- never as an approval. Use when someone asks to build silver/gold for a mapped table with dbt, run dbt tests, or check dbt parity against the existing gold tables in the Seshat BI repo. dbt is the engine; Seshat BI is the brain. This skill READS the approved map, EXECUTES approved dbt steps behind the gate, and WRITES evidence; it never defines meaning, never moves a stage to pass, and HARD-STOPS at every human judgment call.

# dbt-transformation-adapter - **Authority category (F024):** Execution Adapter / `DB-connected` (NOT publish-capable). - **Roadmap feature:** F029 **On-disk spec:** `specs/023-dbt-transformation-adapter`. dbt is the build ENGINE: it compiles SQL, materializes models, and runs tests. Seshat BI is the brain: it owns the approved source-map, the metric contracts, and the readiness spine, and routes every judgment call to a named human. This skill is how the agent runs dbt without letting it become the brain. You (the agent reading this) ARE the runtime; this skill is procedure, not an engine -- there is no daemon, no scheduler, no auto-approver. See `docs/decisions/0009-dbt-is-transformation-adapter.md` and `templates/dbt-adapter-contract.md`. > ACTIVATED: feature 133 added the governed runtime under `dbt/`, the pinned > `dbt-core==1.12.0` + `dbt-postgres==1.10.2` extra, and the `seshat dbt` > command family. Use that wrapper only; raw dbt commands bypass the accepted-plan, > selector, shadow-schema, redaction, lock, and evidence contracts. ## Scope boundary (read first) Invoke-and-record only. This skill runs dbt behind the gate and records its findings as evidence; it does NOT define source mapping, metric contracts, or semantic logic, does NOT publish Power BI, and does NOT move a readiness stage to `pass`. Three non-negotiables: This adapter is not the owner of generic dbt competence. Model-authoring advice, generic test design, command syntax, documentation lookup,
