07/02/2025, 11:41 PMElementary does not currently support integration with SQLMesh. According to a response from the Elementary team, support is only available for dbt at this time, and there is no mention of SQLMesh support or plans for it in the available knowledge sources [Slack discussion on SQLMesh support](https://slack.com/archives/C02CTC89LAX/p1695813066879729).

dbt Packages in SQLMesh
SQLMesh's dbt adapter is compatible with dbt's package manager. You can continue to use dbt deps and dbt clean to manage packages as you would in a regular dbt project Package Management.
However, there are some limitations with certain packages:
1. Elementary package: There's a known issue with the Elementary data observability package. The SQLMesh team has identified that Elementary doesn't follow best practices for implementing a dbt plugin, which causes compatibility problems. As a workaround, the SQLMesh team has implemented a solution to ignore models from the Elementary package Slack discussion.

07/02/2025, 11:46 PMBased on the available knowledge sources, there is no official support or documentation indicating that Elementary works with SQLMesh. In fact, the knowledge sources do not mention SQLMesh compatibility or any official workaround for using Elementary with SQLMesh. The only supported workflow described is with dbt. If you have seen external documentation or discussions about SQLMesh implementing a workaround to ignore Elementary models, that information is not present in the provided knowledge sources. Therefore, I cannot confirm or elaborate on SQLMesh compatibility with Elementary based on the current documentation and support channels for Elementary.
