data-engineering-agent-skills copilot-instructions.md

data-engineering-agent-skills copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from vaquarkhan/data-engineering-agent-skills. It costs 265 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Loading instructions for the same data-engineering workflow pack, explaining which guidance, platform setup, workflow, and review checklists an agent should read first. It also maps common data tasks to the relevant workflows.

In plain words
What is it for?
Choosing workflows for new data products, warehouse modeling, lakehouses, streaming, incidents, validation, and backfills.
Why use it?
They reduce guesswork when starting data work and encourage small, verifiable changes instead of treating a successful run as proof that the result is correct.

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-engineering-agent-skills copilot-instructions.md 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 5d 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

Copilot Instructions

Use the shared data engineering skill pack from this repository as the primary workflow source.

Loading Order

  1. Start with AGENTS.md
  2. Use skills/using-data-engineering-agent-skills/SKILL.md
  3. Load one platform preset from presets/
  4. Load one or more workflow skills from skills/
  5. Use checklist references from references/ for review and verification

Behavior

  • prefer specification before code changes
  • keep contracts, grain, and ownership explicit
  • do not treat a successful run as proof of correctness
  • prefer small, verifiable changes over wide rewrites
  • use examples and templates when starting a new data product
  • treat /validate and /backfill as first-class workflow phases

Common Task Mappings

  • new data product: data-specification, pipeline-planning-and-task-breakdown
  • warehouse modeling: warehouse-and-schema-design, dbt-and-analytics-engineering
  • lakehouse: data-lake-and-zone-architecture, lakehouse-table-format-engineering
  • streaming: streaming-and-messaging-systems, data-observability-and-sla-management
  • incidents: incident-triage-and-pipeline-recovery
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.
