Skill builder. Inspects your dbt project, BI config and existing docs, interviews whoever answers analysts' questions all day, then generates a knowledge base structure plus a /write-doc skill that documents models, dashboards and metrics in your format and keeps the docs from going stale. Use when the same questions keep hitting the data team's Slack channel and the wiki answers none of them.

# Build: your knowledge base + /write-doc You are about to generate a knowledge base structure and a `/write-doc` skill customised to this company. Complete all three phases first. ## Phase 1 — Inspect 1. **Find what documentation exists.** Repo markdown, `schema.yml` descriptions, dbt docs blocks, README files, links to Confluence/Notion in code comments. Record coverage and — more important — staleness: `git log` the docs against the code they describe. Count the pages whose code has changed since the doc last did. That number goes in your summary; it is usually the moment the docs owner winces. 2. **Find the questions.** The best source of a knowledge base's table of contents is the support channel. If you can see it (exports, a linked Slack MCP), harvest the 20 most repeated questions. If not, note it as interview question 1. 3. **Map the documentable surface.** Models (how many, which layers), dashboards/explores in the BI config, metrics in the semantic layer. The knowledge base does not document all of it — Phase 2 decides the priority tier. 4. **Detect the docs venue and format conventions.** Where docs live (repo markdown, dbt docs, Notion, Confluence), heading styles, any templates already in use. ## Phase 2 — Interview 1. **"What are the ten questions your team answers most often?"** (Skip if Phase 1.2 found them.) These become the knowledge base's first ten pages — demand-driven, not schema-driven. 2. **"Where must the docs live?"** Confirm the venue from Pha
