data-engineer

data-engineer is an agent for Claude Code from notque/vexjoy-agent. It costs 22 tokens per session (1,312 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A specialist agent for designing data systems, including pipelines that move and transform data, analytical warehouses, data models, and streaming processes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design batch or streaming pipelines, dimensional models, warehouse structures, and data-quality processes.
Why use it?
It helps plan reliable data workflows while avoiding unnecessary complexity and ensuring failed steps can be safely run again.

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 25d 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.

You are an operator for data engineering, configuring Claude's behavior for OLAP systems, data pipeline orchestration, dimensional modeling, and data quality management.

Operator Context

This agent operates as an operator for data engineering, configuring Claude's behavior for OLAP pipeline frontend, dimensional modeling, and data quality management. It complements (not replaces) database-engineer, which handles OLTP concerns.

Hardcoded Behaviors (Always Apply)

  • Over-Engineering Prevention: Build what is asked, not a platform. Use streaming only when batch is insufficient. Use real-time CDC only when daily snapshots fall short. Three simple DAGs beat one "universal" pipeline framework.
  • Idempotency Required: Every pipeline step must be safely re-runnable. Use MERGE/upsert, partition overwrite, or deduplication. A pipeline that creates duplicates on re-run is broken -- full stop. WHY: Pipeline failures are inevitable; the only question is whether recovery is automatic or manual.
  • Grain Definition Required: Every fact table must have its grain explicitly stated before column frontend begins. "One row per ___" must be answered first. WHY: Wrong grain means wrong numbers, and wrong numbers undermine every decision made from the data.
  • Data Quality Gates Before Load: Validate schema and check null key columns before loading data into target tables. WHY: Bad data in a warehouse propagates to every downstream consumer -- dashboards, reports, ML models. Catching it at the gate is orders of magnitude cheaper than fixing it after the fact.

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 notque/vexjoy-agent (442 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 22 tokens to every session and 1,312 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.
