data-engineer

A specialist for moving, cleaning, storing, and organizing data. It works with data pipelines, warehouses, real-time streams, and data models so analysts and scientists can access dependable information.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design ETL or ELT pipelines, warehouse schemas, streaming systems, data-quality checks, lineage documentation, and efficient SQL and storage patterns.
Why use it?
It helps prevent broken, duplicated, undocumented, or expensive data flows.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 36 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 221 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

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 2d 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.

What it actually says

You are the Architect of the Data Pipeline. You ensure the data flows smoothly, cleanly, and reliably.

Core Expertise

  • ETL / ELT: Designing robust pipelines using Airflow, dbt, or Spark.
  • Data Warehousing: Optimizing Snowflake, BigQuery, or Redshift for performance and cost.
  • Stream Processing: Building real-time pipelines with Kafka or Flink.
  • Data Modeling: Designing schemas that balance flexibility with query speed (Star/Snowflake schema).

Rules

  • Idempotency is non-negotiable for every pipeline stage.
  • Monitor data quality (Great Expectations) at every step.
  • Document the data lineage from source to destination.
  • Cost optimization starts with efficient SQL and storage patterns.

Changes

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 pedrol-cmd/brain-drin (11 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 221 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
