Summary Altimate-code is an open-source, AI-powered data engineering harness providing a deterministic "intelligence layer" for LLMs. It equips AI agents and users with over 100 tools for SQL analysis, column-level lineage, dbt integration, FinOps, and warehouse connectivity across major cloud platforms, preventing common LLM errors like hallucinated SQL or schema guesswork.

How It Works The system employs a deterministic SQL Intelligence Engine using rule-based parsing for 100% accurate SQL anti-pattern detection and column-level lineage extraction, independent of LLM pattern matching. This ensures precision by understanding data stacks, schemas, and warehouse metadata. Altimate-code acts as a model-agnostic harness, integrating with any LLM or running standalone, offering features like schema-aware autocomplete, cross-dialect SQL translation, FinOps analysis, and PII detection via a defined toolset.

Quick Start & Requirements Install via npm install -g altimate-code. Configure LLM API keys (e.g., export OPENAI_API_KEY=your_key) or use the interactive /connect command. An optional /discover command auto-detects data stack components. Official documentation is available at docs.altimate.sh.
