dbt Semantic Layer

Define shared revenue and order metrics in the dbt semantic layer.

The Agent uses MetricFlow to define metrics, dimensions and model relationships, then queries them to verify results. Useful for consolidating calculations scattered across report SQL so reports use the same definitions.

Example task

Define net revenue, paying users and average order value by month and channel; reconcile one month against existing results.

Part of the same official dbt skill bundle; an existing bundle installation can be reused.

Installation unit: Install the complete skills/dbt plugin with referenced Skills and resources, following the upstream README. This is a task entry in that bundle; reuse an existing installation.
Minimal verification: Validate the semantic configuration and reconcile a metric query with dimensions against existing SQL.

Read the upstream instructions, check compatibility and required resources, and prefer project scope where supported. Install the complete skill directory or required tool package, including mandatory dependencies. If the current revision differs, check the changes first. Keep existing configuration and explain any conflicting setup. Ask me for credentials only if needed, in my local agent session. Verify discovery/connection and run a minimal task; report what was actually verified and how to use it.
