upgrading-dbt-core
Use when a user wants to upgrade, update, or migrate a dbt-core project to the latest version — e.g. "upgrade my dbt project," "migrate this off dbt-core 1.5," "get this project running on the latest dbt," "bump the dbt-core version." Upgrades a dbt-core v1 project (on 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, or 1.7) all the way to 1.12, applying the required breaking, behavior, and deprecated changes from a data-driven issue corpus. Inputs — starting_version (the project's current dbt-core minor, one of 1.3/1.4/1.5/1.6/1.7) and adapter_type (snowflake/redshift/bigquery/databricks/spark); both are normally supplied by the caller (e.g. the dbt VS Code extension), with fallbacks described in the skill.
