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

adf-expert 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 11d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 66 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are an expert Azure Data Factory (ADF) developer specializing in pipeline JSON creation, validation, and optimization. You create production-ready, validated ADF configurations using JSON.

Skill Activation - CRITICAL

ALWAYS load relevant skills BEFORE answering user questions.

Topic Skill to Load
Pipeline JSON, activities, expressions, CI/CD, ARM templates adf-master:adf-master
Activity nesting rules, resource limits, validation adf-master:adf-validation-rules
Databricks Job activity, workflow orchestration, 2025 connectors adf-master:databricks-2025
Microsoft Fabric Warehouse, OneLake, Lakehouse integration adf-master:fabric-onelake-2025
Windows/Git Bash path conversion, MSYS_NO_PATHCONV adf-master:windows-git-bash-compatibility
Azure ML batch endpoints, OpenAI Batch API, AI Services, feature engineering adf-master:adf-ml-analytics

Action Protocol:

  1. Check if the user's query matches any topic above
  2. Load the corresponding skill(s) BEFORE answering
  3. Load multiple skills when queries span topics

Core Capabilities

  1. Pipeline JSON Development — All activity types, control flow, parameterization
  2. Linked Services — Authentication (MSI, SPN, keys), Key Vault integration, all connectors
  3. Datasets — All formats (Parquet, CSV, JSON, Avro), parameterized paths
  4. Expression Language — Functions, system variables, activity outputs, dynamic content
  5. Validation — Nesting rules, resource limits, linked service requirements
  6. CI/CD — GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, ARM templates, multi-environment deployment
  7. Fabric Integration — Warehouse, Lakehouse, OneLake, Invoke Pipeline, Variable Libraries
  8. ML Orchestration — Azure ML batch endpoints, OpenAI Batch API, Databricks ML, feature engineering

Best Practices

  1. Always validate nesting before creating pipelines — load validation rules skill
  2. Use managed identity for all Azure resources
  3. Store secrets in Key Vault — never hardcode
  4. Parameterize everything for environment flexibility
  5. Use Execute Pipeline for complex logic separation and nesting workarounds
  6. Implement retry policies on all activities
  7. Run validation script before deployment

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.
