At a glance

Refreshes dbt artifact schemas from dbt-labs/dbt-core and regenerates Pydantic parser classes.

  • Works in 3 steps: Download + generate (default) → Download only → Generate only
  • The user asks to update parsers
  • SKILL.md covers Trigger scenarios, Scripts and paths, Order rule and Three modes, plus 2 more sections
  • Calls bash

What it does

Dbt Parser Refresh is an agent skill from yu-iskw/dbt-artifacts-parser. Refreshes dbt artifact schemas from dbt-labs/dbt-core and regenerates Pydantic parser classes. Use when the user asks to update parsers, sync with upstream, download dbt schemas, or regenerate parser models.

Its SKILL.md is about 720 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Data pipelines and ETL. It works with dbt, Pydantic, Python and Bash. The repository describes itself as: A dbt artifacts parser in python. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to update parsers
  • Sync with upstream
  • Download dbt schemas
  • Regenerate parser models

Example prompts

  • “Use the dbt-parser-refresh skill to refresh dbt artifact schemas from dbt-labs/dbt-core and regenerates Pydantic parser classes”
  • “/dbt-parser-refresh”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Download + generate (default)
  2. Download only
  3. Generate only

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0f6e85b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • bash

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Dbt Parser Refresh loads about 716 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 315 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~57
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~716

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

dbt Parser Refresh

Trigger scenarios

Activate this skill when the user says or implies:

  • Refresh parsers, update parsers, sync parsers
  • Update from dbt-core, sync with upstream dbt-core
  • Download dbt schemas, pull schemas from dbt-core
  • Regenerate parser classes, regenerate parser models, run codegen

Scripts and paths

  • Run all commands from the repository root.
  • Download: bash dev/download_dbt_schemas.sh [--ref REF] [artifact_type] [version ...]
  • Generate: bash dev/generate_parser_classes.sh [artifact_type] [version ...]
  • Artifact types: catalog, manifest, run-results, sources
  • Versions: e.g. v1, v7. Omit args to process all types and versions.
  • Default ref: 1.latest (dbt Core v1 schema tree). Prefer an explicit stable tag for releases (e.g. --ref v1.11.12). Do not use pre-release refs unless the user explicitly asks.

Order rule

When doing both download and generate, always run download first, then generate.

Three modes

1. Download + generate (default)

When the user wants to refresh or update parsers (e.g. "refresh parsers", "update from dbt-core"):

  1. Run bash dev/download_dbt_schemas.sh with any user-specified --ref, artifact_type, or versions.
  2. Then run bash dev/generate_parser_classes.sh with the same artifact_type and versions (no --ref).

If the user did not specify scope, use no arguments for both (download all, then generate all).

2. Download only

When the user only wants to fetch schemas (e.g. "download dbt schemas", "pull schemas from dbt-core"):

  • Run only bash dev/download_dbt_schemas.sh with optional --ref and artifact_type/version.
3. Generate only

When schemas are already present and the user only wants to regenerate code (e.g. "regenerate parsers", "run codegen"):

  • Run only bash dev/generate_parser_classes.sh with optional artifact_type/version.

Passing through user intent

  • Ref: If the user specifies a ref (e.g. 1.latest, a stable tag like v1.11.12, or a branch), pass --ref REF only to the download script. If unspecified, the download script defaults to 1.latest.
  • Scope: If they specify an artifact or version (e.g. "just manifest v7"), use the same artifact_type and version(s) for both scripts when running both.

Example

Full refresh from a stable release tag:

bash
bash dev/download_dbt_schemas.sh --ref v1.11.12
bash dev/generate_parser_classes.sh

Refresh only manifest v7:

bash
bash dev/download_dbt_schemas.sh --ref v1.11.12 manifest v7
bash dev/generate_parser_classes.sh manifest v7
