lmiranda b5d36865ee feat(plugins): add Visual Output headers to all other plugin commands
Add single-line visual headers to 66 command files across 10 plugins:
- clarity-assist (2 commands): 💬
- claude-config-maintainer (5 commands): ⚙️
- cmdb-assistant (11 commands): 🖥️
- code-sentinel (3 commands): 🔒
- contract-validator (5 commands): 
- data-platform (10 commands): 📊
- doc-guardian (5 commands): 📝
- git-flow (8 commands): 🔀
- pr-review (7 commands): 🔍
- viz-platform (10 commands): 🎨

Each command now displays a consistent header at execution start:
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  [icon] PLUGIN-NAME · Command Description                       │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Addresses #275 (other plugin commands visual output)

/explain - dbt Model Explanation

Visual Output

When executing this command, display the plugin header:

┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  📊 DATA-PLATFORM · Model Explanation                             │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Then proceed with the explanation.

Explain a dbt model's purpose, dependencies, and SQL logic.

Usage

/explain <model_name>

Workflow

  1. Get model info:

    • Use dbt_lineage to get model metadata
    • Extract description, tags, materialization
  2. Analyze dependencies:

    • Show upstream models (what this depends on)
    • Show downstream models (what depends on this)
    • Visualize as dependency tree
  3. Compile SQL:

    • Use dbt_compile to get rendered SQL
    • Explain key transformations
  4. Report:

    • Model purpose (from description)
    • Materialization strategy
    • Dependency graph
    • Key SQL logic explained

Examples

/explain dim_customers
/explain fct_orders

Available Tools

Use these MCP tools:

  • dbt_lineage - Get model dependencies
  • dbt_compile - Get compiled SQL
  • dbt_ls - List related resources
