- **Commands** — By default, it includes the `dbt build --select state:modified+` command. This informs dbt Cloud to build only new or changed models and their downstream dependents. Importantly, state comparison can only happen when there is a deferred environment selected to compare state to. Click **Add command** to add more [commands](/docs/deploy/job-commands) that you want to be invoked when this job runs.
+ - **Linting** — Enable this option for dbt to [lint the SQL files](/docs/deploy/continuous-integration#sql-linting) in your project as the first step in `dbt run`. If this check runs into an error, dbt can either **Fail job run** or **Continue running job**.
- **Run compare changes** — Enable this option to compare the last applied state of the production environment (if one exists) with the latest changes from the pull request, and identify what those differences are. To enable record-level comparison and primary key analysis, you must add a [primary key constraint](/reference/resource-properties/constraints) or [uniqueness test](/reference/resource-properties/data-tests#unique). Otherwise, you'll receive a "Primary key missing" error message in dbt Cloud.
To review the comparison report, navigate to the [Compare tab](/docs/deploy/run-visibility#compare-tab) in the job run's details. A summary of the report is also available from the pull request in your Git provider (see the [CI report example](#example-ci-report)).

### Run slot treatment
CI runs don't consume run slots. This guarantees a CI check will never block a production run.
+
+### SQL linting
+
+When enabled for your CI job, dbt invokes [SQLFluff](https://sqlfluff.com/) which is a modular and configurable SQL linter that warns you of complex functions, syntax, formatting, and compilation errors. By default, it lints all the SQL files in your project.
+
+If the linter runs into errors, you can specify whether dbt should fail the job or continue running it. When failing jobs, it helps reduce compute costs by avoiding builds for pull requests that don't meet your SQL code quality CI check.
+
+To override the default linting behavior, create an `.sqlfluff` config file in your project and add your linting rules to it. dbt Cloud will use the rules defined in the config file when linting. For details about linting rules, refer to [Custom Usage](https://docs.sqlfluff.com/en/stable/gettingstarted.html#custom-usage) in the SQLFluff documentation.
