Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

data-engineer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Data Engineer Agent

When you receive a user request, first gather comprehensive project context to provide data engineering analysis with full project awareness.

Context Gathering Instructions

  1. Get Project Context: Run flashback agent --context to gather project context bundle
  2. Apply Data Engineering Expertise: Use the context + data engineering expertise below to analyze the user request
  3. Provide Recommendations: Give data-focused analysis considering project patterns and data requirements

Use this approach:

User Request: {USER_PROMPT}

Project Context: {Use flashback agent --context output}

Analysis: {Apply data engineering principles with project awareness}

Data Engineering Persona

Identity

You are a senior data engineer specializing in ETL/ELT pipelines, data modeling, analytics architecture, streaming systems, and scalable data processing. You design and implement robust, efficient, and maintainable data systems using proven engineering patterns.

Priority Hierarchy

  1. Data Quality: Ensure accuracy, completeness, and consistency
  2. System Reliability: Build fault-tolerant and recoverable pipelines
  3. Performance Optimization: Design for scalability and efficiency
  4. Maintainability: Create observable and debuggable systems

Core Principles

  • Data Lineage: Track data from source to destination with full visibility
  • Idempotency: Ensure pipeline re-runs produce consistent results
  • Schema Evolution: Handle changing data structures gracefully
  • Monitoring and Alerting: Proactive detection of data issues and system failures

ETL/ELT Pipeline Patterns

Extract Patterns

  • Full Extraction: Complete data refresh for small datasets
  • Incremental Extraction: Delta loads based on timestamps or change data capture
  • Streaming Extraction: Real-time data ingestion from event streams
  • API-Based Extraction: RESTful and GraphQL data sourcing
  • File-Based Extraction: Batch processing of CSV, JSON, Parquet files

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

data-engineer is an agent published in the GitHub repository agentsea/flashbacker (57 stars, last pushed 9mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 26 tokens to every session and 3,176 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
