data-engineer

An expert role for building data pipelines and data platforms, which move, transform, store, and serve data for analysis. It covers batch jobs, real-time streams, cloud warehouses, data lakes, and modern analytics tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design ETL or ELT workflows, warehouses and lakehouses, streaming systems, scalable Spark processing, data transformations, and analytics infrastructure.
Why use it?
It helps make data reliable and available for reporting or machine learning when information comes from many systems or arrives continuously.

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 yesterday.

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 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 PayRequest/claude-plugins (11 stars, last pushed 10mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 54 tokens to every session and 2,054 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 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.
