00-data-agent-core

00-data-agent-core is a cursor rule for Cursor from vaquarkhan/data-engineering-agent-skills. It costs 107 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of baseline rules for a data-engineering coding agent. It tells the agent to clarify pipeline specifications, data contracts, ownership, validation, replay, lineage, privacy, and publishing safety before implementation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to guide changes to data pipelines and related engineering tasks, while loading only the platform and workflow guidance needed.
Why use it?
It gives data work a shared way to handle correctness, traceability, and safe releases instead of treating those concerns as afterthoughts.

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

00-data-agent-core 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.

What it actually says

Data Engineering Agent Core

Use AGENTS.md and skills/using-data-engineering-agent-skills/SKILL.md to classify work before implementation.

Default rules:

  • prefer specification before changing pipeline behavior
  • keep contracts, grain, and ownership explicit
  • load one platform preset and only the minimum useful workflow skills
  • treat validation, replay, lineage, privacy, and publish safety as part of delivery

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.
