data-engineer

data-engineer is an agent for Claude Code from travisjneuman/.claude. It costs 76 tokens per session (2,920 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A data-engineering specialist for moving, storing, and processing data. ETL means extracting data, transforming it, and loading it elsewhere; the add-on also covers data warehouses and real-time streams.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design ETL or ELT pipelines, build warehouse models, process Kafka or other live streams, handle data lakes, and check data quality.
Why use it?
It helps organize reliable data flows instead of leaving collection, storage, modeling, and quality checks as disconnected tasks.

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 6d 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 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 travisjneuman/.claude (95 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 76 tokens to every session and 2,920 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
