[anandgupta42]

Summary

Added comprehensive Data Vault 2.0 modeling reference documentation to the dbt-develop skill. This new guide covers the complete Data Vault methodology including:

• Core concepts (hubs, links, satellites) with naming conventions and grain definitions
• Layer mapping between Data Vault and traditional dbt patterns
• Detailed implementation patterns with SQL examples for:
  • Staging with hash keys and load metadata
  • Hub creation (business key registry) with multi-source loading
  • Link tables (relationships between entities)
  • Satellites (historized attributes) including effectivity satellites
  • Business Vault (derived logic)
  • Information Marts (business-ready tables)
• Best practices for hash key generation, incremental loading, and change detection
• Common mistakes and how to avoid them
• Guidance on when to use Data Vault vs. other patterns
• Reference to the automate-dv dbt package for automation

Updated the skill description to reflect Data Vault 2.0 coverage alongside existing medallion architecture patterns.

Test Plan

N/A — Documentation-only change. Content accuracy verified against Data Vault 2.0 methodology standards and dbt best practices.

Checklist

• Documentation updated (new reference guide added)
