Normalize dbt SQL and Jinja templates into consistent review-ready style with sqlfmt
Use sqlfmt to reformat dbt-oriented SQL and Jinja-heavy query files into a stable style before code review, CI checks, or agent-generated handoff.

Preserve coding-agent context by sandboxing bulky tool output and retrieving only relevant session state with Context Mode
Use Context Mode when a coding agent keeps burning context on large tool outputs or loses its place after compaction. It wraps tool-heavy workflows with sandboxed execution, indexed session history, and targeted retrieval so the agent can keep working without reloading raw data into the prompt.

Validate JSON data and config files against schemas with ajv-cli
Run schema checks from the shell or CI so malformed JSON, JSON5, or YAML inputs fail before they reach downstream tooling.
-
Generate dependency update pull requests from code with dependabot-core
Scan manifests, compute safe version bumps, and prepare dependency update PR material when you need self-hosted or custom Dependabot flows outside the default GitHub service.
-
Bundle and validate OpenAPI files into one publishable spec with swagger-cli
Resolve multi-file OpenAPI definitions into one validated artifact before docs, code generation, or CI gates depend on the spec.

Enforce local Git hook checks in JavaScript repos with Husky
Use Husky to wire pre-commit, pre-push, and commit-msg checks into a repo so agents and developers run the same local guardrails before changes leave the workstation.
