name: l2-uniform-drift-remediator description: Triage and remediate L2 uniform schema drift using l2_uniform_schema_preflight output. Use when dbt runs touching int__l2_nationwide_uniform or int__l2_nationwide_uniform_w_haystaq fail, or when L2_PREFLIGHT| lines report drift (stg_minus_src, src_minus_stg, target_minus_src, relation_missing). Parse preflight logs, generate deterministic safe commands and manual instructions, and produce operator-ready next steps.

L2 Uniform Drift Remediator

Use this workflow to convert post-failure preflight output into safe actions.

Workflow

All script paths below are repo-root-relative.

1. If a build fails, run preflight to collect full drift visibility:

dbt run-operation l2_uniform_schema_preflight --args '{"strict": true}'

2. Download the preflight log containing L2_PREFLIGHT| JSON lines.
3. Run the failure handler:

python .claude/skills/l2-uniform-drift-remediator/scripts/dbt_failure_handler.py \
  --log-file /path/to/preflight.log \
  --output-dir /path/to/gp-data-platform/.claude/skills/l2-uniform-drift-remediator/dbt_logs/failure_handler

4. Review summary.md, run safe commands manually in a one-off dbt Cloud job (or equivalent), and complete follow-up steps.
5. If target_minus_src or relation_missing exists, follow manual remediation steps in the summary.
6. If target_minus_src includes int__l2_nationwide_uniform, apply approved column deprecations to both:

• int__l2_nationwide_uniform
• int__l2_nationwide_uniform_w_haystaq Then rerun strict preflight.

Guardrails

• Keep on_schema_change="append_new_columns" as-is.
• Do not switch to sync_all_columns.
• Do not execute destructive DDL automatically.
• This skill generates instructions only; it does not execute dbt commands.

Inputs and Outputs

Input:

• dbt Cloud CLI log or local dbt log containing L2_PREFLIGHT|{...} lines.

Output:

• Deterministic triage summary.
• Command plan for safe fixes.
• Generated shell script containing safe commands to run manually.

Notes for dbt Cloud

This skill itself does not run inside dbt Cloud unless you call its script from a dbt Cloud job command environment that has Python and this repo checked out.

To surface drift context directly in dbt Cloud logs, rely on the preflight macro logging (L2_PREFLIGHT|...).

Log Capture and PR Guidance

• You can download dbt Cloud run logs and pass them to the failure handler.
• Store raw logs in .claude/skills/l2-uniform-drift-remediator/dbt_logs/ (local, untracked) or incident tooling.
• For PR context, commit only sanitized summaries/command plans (not raw operational logs with secrets/tokens).
