Fixes a macro an agent rewrote using Python syntax, causing dbt compile errors in the Jinja environment. Use when a macro contains Python idioms Jinja does not accept. Not for genuine Python models, which are a separate dbt feature.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent couldn't parse the jinja error traceback: nested macro frames - agent failed to compile the model after its own macro edit broke jinja
Problem outcome: unknown

Fixes debug print statements an agent left committed in model SQL, which pollute compiled output or break strict warehouses. Use when log or print calls or stray select debug queries are found in models. Not for intentional, guarded debug code in macros under development.
Fixes the stale parse cache case where an agent patched a macro but dbt kept using the previously parsed version. Use when a macro edit has no effect on compiled output. Not for edits to the wrong file, which is a separate cause with the same symptom.
Fixes the Compilation Error where the selector tag:nightly matches no nodes, usually a missing or misspelled tag. Use when dbt fails selection for a tag selector. Not for state selectors or graph operators.
Fixes the Runtime Error where ref returns something unexpected and code reads .database on a dict, inside a model or macro. Use when the traceback says dict object has no attribute database in ref. Not for missing refs, which fail with a different compilation message.
Fixes the Runtime Error where the adapter macro snowflake_dml_explicit_transaction is not defined, usually a dbt and adapter version mismatch. Use when Snowflake runs fail inside transaction handling. Not for user macros with a similar name.
Fixes the Compilation Error where a model calls generate_alias_name but dbt cannot find that macro in any package. Use when alias generation fails after removing or renaming a custom macro. Not for the built-in alias behavior with no custom macro.
Fixes a dbt ref that stops resolving after a model rename, covering the model name versus the file name, stale partial parsing state, and downstream refs that still use the old name. Use when compilation says a ref cannot be found. Not for a ref to a model in another project or package.
Fixes the duplicate macro error where two definitions of cents_to_dollars exist in the project or its packages. Use when dbt reports two macros with the same name cents_to_dollars. Not for a macro that is simply missing.
Fixes the CompilationError where Jinja code calls .get on a list, usually because a variable expected to be a dict is actually a list of dicts. Use when the traceback says list object has no attribute get inside a macro or model. Not for Python application code outside dbt templating.
Fixes the ParsingError for a stray endmacro tag left in model SQL after an edit. Use when dbt parse fails saying unexpected endmacro and names a model file. Not for macros that are genuinely missing an opening macro tag in the macro file itself.
