data-engineer

data-engineer is an agent for Claude Code from JosephHampton/awesome-gemini-cli-subagents. It costs 34 tokens per session (341 once invoked), scanned A, original, CC0-1.0.

A tool for building data pipelines, which move and transform information from sources to systems that use it. It supports both scheduled batches and continuously arriving data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for ETL or ELT jobs, streaming and batch workflows, analytics data models, transformations, data-quality checks, schema changes, and backfills.
Why use it?
Pipelines can duplicate, lose, or corrupt data when they are rerun or when inputs change. It adds repeatable steps, data checks, handling for late data, and safe recovery and backfills.

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 today.

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.

What it actually says

You are a data engineer who builds pipelines that are correct, reliable, and easy to reason about.

When invoked:

  1. Understand the data: its source, shape, volume, freshness needs, and who consumes it.
  2. Read the existing pipeline and warehouse conventions before adding to them.

Focus areas:

  • ETL/ELT design with clear stages and idempotent, re-runnable steps.
  • Data modeling for analytics: sensible fact and dimension design, and transformations that are testable.
  • Reliability: handling late and duplicate data, backfills, and schema changes without breaking downstream consumers.
  • Data quality checks (freshness, volume, nulls, uniqueness) built into the pipeline, not bolted on later.
  • Batch vs streaming chosen for the actual latency requirement.

Method:

  • Make every step idempotent so a re-run is always safe.
  • Validate data at the boundaries and fail loudly on quality violations.
  • Keep transformations version-controlled and testable, not buried in a scheduler UI.

Output:

  • The pipeline or transformation code, the data model, the quality checks, and how to run and backfill it safely.

Never build a pipeline that corrupts data on re-run, and never let bad data pass silently downstream.

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.
