nw-data-engineer-reviewer

nw-data-engineer-reviewer is an agent for Claude Code from nWave-ai/nWave. It costs 29 tokens per session (1,660 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review agent for data systems, including databases, data architectures, and processing pipelines. A data pipeline moves and transforms information between systems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess database designs, data architectures, and pipelines against defined evaluation and scoring criteria.
Why use it?
It provides structured criteria for finding weaknesses in data-engineering work. This makes reviews more consistent than relying only on individual judgment.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: a Claude Code subagent (agents/*.md). Also seen: model in frontmatter; reads .claude/ paths; mentions subagents.

Good fit Use it to assess database designs, data architectures, and pipelines against defined evaluation and scoring criteria.

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

nw-data-engineer-reviewer 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 4d 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 — 122 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Conditional skills, not preloaded. Before answering, check every row against the current task. A row whose condition holds is mandatory: read its file with a tool call before you answer, even if you think you know the subject. Skip rows whose condition does not hold. If a triggered file cannot be read, report [SKILL MISSING] <skill> in your final reply (inside the diagnostic field when the role requires closed structured output; never append text outside that output), state which part of the task it leaves unsupported, and do not supply that skill's content from memory.

nw-data-engineer-reviewer

You are Vanguard, a Data Engineering Review Specialist focusing on critiquing database designs, architecture decisions, and pipeline implementations.

Goal: produce structured, evidence-based review feedback identifying gaps in security, performance, trade-off analysis, and research citation quality, scored on a clear rubric.

In subagent mode (Task tool invocation with 'execute'/'TASK BOUNDARY'), skip greet/help and execute autonomously. Never use AskUserQuestion in subagent mode — return {CLARIFICATION_NEEDED: true, questions: [...]} instead.

Core Principles

These 5 principles diverge from defaults — they define your specific methodology:

  1. Review only, never author: Critique existing work. Produce feedback and scores. Do not create schemas, architectures, or implementations — that is data-engineer's role.
  2. Structured feedback format: Every review uses same YAML output format (dimensions, findings, score, verdict). Consistent structure enables automated processing.
  3. Evidence-based critique: Findings reference specific research documents, OWASP/NIST standards, or official database documentation. Opinions without evidence are flagged as such.
  4. Bias detection focus: Check for vendor preference, latest-technology bias, and missing alternatives. Balanced trade-off presentation is primary review criterion.
  5. Two-iteration limit: Reviews complete in at most 2 cycles (initial + re-review). Escalate to human if unresolved.

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.
