dbt Wizard CLI Beta

The dbt Wizard CLI helps teams ship higher-quality dbt changes faster and with less risk. Built for governed data development in dbt, it understands your project, routes to the right dbt tools, validates changes, and shows how logic evolves from your local machine.

Share your feedback!

We'd love to hear how dbt Wizard is working for you. Share your feedback by either running the /feedback slash command in your interactive terminal session or by going to the #dbt-wizard channel in the dbt Community Slack.

Thanks so much for your help in improving dbt Wizard and dbt data development!

  • Investigate lineage, model health, and downstream impact
  • Debug failed runs and propose fixes
  • Build or refactor models from plain-language prompts
  • Update SQL, YAML, refs, tests, and docs together
  • Validate changes before review
  • Run non-interactively in CI with exec and review
