# altimate-code — Agentic Data Engineering CLI

> altimate-code is an OSS harness for dbt/SQL and warehouses with 100+ tools; verified 582★ and installs via `npm i -g altimate-code`.

## Install

Copy the content below into your project:

## Quick Use

```bash
npm install -g altimate-code
altimate /discover
# Then try: /dbt-unit-tests or /data-parity (see README for skills/tools).
```

## Intro

altimate-code is an OSS harness for dbt/SQL and warehouses with 100+ tools; verified 582★ and installs via `npm i -g altimate-code`.

**Best for:** Data teams who want deterministic SQL tooling (lineage, parity checks, dbt test gen) under an agent-friendly CLI

**Works with:** dbt projects + major warehouses (README lists 10+); can run standalone in terminal or under assistants

**Setup time:** 12-25 minutes

### Key facts (verified)

- GitHub: 582 stars · 57 forks · pushed 2026-05-13.
- License: MIT · owner avatar + repo URL verified via GitHub API.
- README-backed entrypoint: `altimate /discover`.

## Main

- Start read-only against prod connections (if available), and graduate to write workflows only after trust is earned.

- Use `/discover` to auto-detect dbt + profiles, but review permissions — avoid `--yolo` on live warehouses unless you understand prompts.

- Treat lineage and parity checks as CI gates: run deterministic tools first, then let an LLM propose refactors based on evidence.

### Source-backed notes

- README claims 100+ deterministic tools and highlights dbt-native workflows and warehouse connectivity across major clouds.
- README lists parity checks across 12 warehouses and 5 algorithms (hashdiff/joindiff/profile/cascade).
- README install is `npm install -g altimate-code` and suggests starting with `/discover`.

### FAQ

- **Is it an MCP server?**: It’s primarily a CLI/TUI harness; embed it under agents and CI workflows per README.
- **Is it safe on production warehouses?**: Start read-only; review credentials/policies; treat writes as gated approvals.
- **What’s the first skill to try?**: Run `/discover`, then try `/dbt-unit-tests` or `/data-parity` on a small model/table.

## Quick Use

```bash
npm install -g altimate-code
altimate /discover
# Then try: /dbt-unit-tests or /data-parity (see README for skills/tools).
```

## Intro

altimate-code 是面向 dbt/SQL 与数据仓库的开源工具链（100+ 工具）；已验证 582★，支持 12 仓库对账与 5 种算法，并可用 `npm i -g altimate-code` 安装。

**Best for:** 数据团队：需要确定性的 SQL 工具（血缘、对账、dbt 测试生成），并希望以 agent 友好的 CLI 方式使用

**Works with:** dbt 项目 + 多种数据仓库（README 列出 10+）；可独立运行或挂在 AI 助手下使用

**Setup time:** 12-25 minutes

### Key facts (verified)

- GitHub：582 stars · 57 forks；最近更新 2026-05-13。
- 许可证：MIT；作者头像与仓库链接均已通过 GitHub API 复核。
- README 中可对照的入口命令：`altimate /discover`。

## Main

- 生产连接优先只读，等建立信任后再逐步开放写入类工作流。

- 用 `/discover` 自动发现 dbt 与 profiles，但要审查权限；不要在真实仓库上盲目 `--yolo`。

- 把血缘与对账当 CI 门禁：先跑确定性工具，再让 LLM 基于证据给重构建议。

### Source-backed notes

- README 宣称提供 100+ 确定性工具，并强调 dbt-native 工作流与跨云数据仓库连接能力。
- README 提到跨 12 个仓库、5 种算法的数据对账能力（hashdiff/joindiff/profile/cascade）。
- README 的安装命令为 `npm install -g altimate-code`，并建议先跑 `/discover`。

### FAQ

- **它是 MCP server 吗？**：它主要是 CLI/TUI 工具链；可按 README 嵌入到 agent 与 CI 流程中。
- **能直接连生产仓库吗？**：建议先只读；审查凭证与策略；把写操作当作需要审批的门禁。
- **先试哪个技能？**：先 `/discover`，再在小范围试 `/dbt-unit-tests` 或 `/data-parity`。
