What this skill does
Altimate Data Engineering Skills Skill by ara.so — Data Skills collection. Altimate Data Engineering Skills is a collection of Claude Code skills that encode the workflows and best practices of experienced analytics engineers. These skills transform Claude from a code generator into a capable data engineering assistant by teaching how to approach tasks, not just what syntax to use. The project demonstrates 53% accuracy on ADE-bench (43 real-world dbt tasks), 3x improvement on model creation tasks, and 84% pass rate on Snowflake query optimization. What This Project Does Data Engineering Skills provides: 7 dbt skills: Model creation, debugging, testing, documentation, migration, refactoring, incremental models 3 Snowflake skills: Cost analysis, query optimization by ID, query optimization by text 1 delegation skill: Hand off complex tasks to altimate-code CLI tool Workflow automation: Skills trigger automatically based on user intent Best practices: Encoded patterns from experienced analytics engineers Skills are markdown files with YAML frontmatter that define trigger conditions and step-by-step workflows.
