Does this skill support dbt Cloud and dbt Core?

Yes, it supports dbt Cloud, dbt Core, and the dbt Semantic Layer documentation, providing a unified interface for all dbt-related queries.

How do I ensure I am reading the most recent dbt docs?

The skill includes a built-in search script that supports a --fresh flag, allowing you to bypass the standard 24-hour cache and download the latest documentation directly.

Can I search the entire dbt documentation site at once?

Yes, the skill utilizes a two-step approach: it first searches a fast index (llms.txt) and then uses a specialized shell script to perform keyword searches across all available documentation pages.

Why does this skill append .md to dbt documentation URLs?

Adding .md to dbt docs URLs converts the page into a clean Markdown format. This is significantly more token-efficient and easier for Claude to parse compared to standard HTML versions.
