## Skills
altimate ships with built-in skills for every common data engineering task — type `/` in the TUI to browse available skills and get autocomplete. No memorization required.
-## Architecture
-
-```
-altimate (TypeScript CLI)
- |
- @altimateai/altimate-core (napi-rs → Rust)
- SQL analysis, lineage, PII, safety — 45 functions, ~2ms per call
- |
- Native Node.js drivers
- 10 warehouses: Snowflake, BigQuery, PostgreSQL, Databricks,
- Redshift, MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle, DuckDB, SQLite
-```
-
-The CLI handles AI interactions, TUI, and tool orchestration. SQL analysis is powered by the Rust-based `@altimateai/altimate-core` engine via napi-rs bindings (no Python required). Database connectivity uses native Node.js drivers with lazy loading.
-
-**No Python dependency**: All 73 tool methods run natively in TypeScript. No pip, venv, or Python installation needed.
-
-**dbt-first**: When working in a dbt project, the CLI automatically uses dbt's connection from `profiles.yml` — no separate warehouse configuration needed.
-
-### Monorepo structure
-
-```
-packages/
- altimate-code/ TypeScript CLI (main entry point)
- drivers/ Shared database drivers (10 warehouses)
- dbt-tools/ dbt integration (TypeScript)
- plugin/ Plugin system
- sdk/ SDKs (includes VS Code extension)
