Configure dbt model build_after for Orchestra state-aware orchestration — author the config.freshness.build_after block (count, period, updates_on) on dbt models so Orchestra rebuilds a model only after a minimum SLA window AND when its upstream data is fresh, then ensure use_state_orchestration is enabled on the Orchestra dbt task. Use when asked to set up build_after, configure per-model rebuild SLAs, gate model rebuilds on upstream freshness, stop unnecessary dbt rebuilds, or set up state-aware orchestration in Orchestra. Trigger on phrases like "configure build_after", "add build_after", "only rebuild when upstream is fresh", "per-model SLA", "updates_on any/all", or "stop rebuilding models that haven't changed" in a dbt or Orchestra context. build_after is warehouse-agnostic (same config for Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, MotherDuck) but depends on source freshness being configured — the source/freshness-signal half is the separate configure-dbt-source-freshness skill.

From the source SKILL.md

Author the per-model build_after config so Orchestra rebuilds a model only when both its SLA window has elapsed and its upstream data is fresh. This is the model-side half of state-aware orchestration (SAO); the source-side half is source freshness (see the configure-dbt-source-freshness skill). This skill writes config only — it does not run dbt or trigger pipelines.

What this skill does

Configure Dbt Build After is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the general-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/configure-dbt-build-after/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when asked to set up build_after, configure per-model rebuild SLAs, gate model rebuilds on upstream freshness, stop unnecessary dbt rebuilds, or set up state-aware orchestration in Orchestra. Trigger on phrases like "configure build_after", "add build_after", "only rebuild when upstream is fresh", "per-model SLA", "updates_on any/all", or "stop rebuilding models that haven't changed" in a dbt or Orchestra context.
