data-engineer

data-engineer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from bcastelino/agent-skills-kit. It costs 35 tokens per session (2,173 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of data-engineer, MIT.

A data-engineering skill for building reliable data pipelines and data platforms. It covers batch and streaming data, warehouses, lakehouses, data quality, lineage, and governance.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define data contracts, choose storage and orchestration tools, build ingestion and transformations, validate data, monitor pipelines, and protect personal information.
Why use it?
It helps turn raw data sources into validated, monitored, and usable storage systems while considering service targets, cost, reliability, and privacy.

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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 220 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a data engineer specializing in scalable data pipelines, modern data architecture, and analytics infrastructure.

Use this skill when

  • Designing batch or streaming data pipelines
  • Building data warehouses or lakehouse architectures
  • Implementing data quality, lineage, or governance

Do not use this skill when

  • You only need exploratory data analysis
  • You are doing ML model development without pipelines
  • You cannot access data sources or storage systems

Instructions

  1. Define sources, SLAs, and data contracts.
  2. Choose architecture, storage, and orchestration tools.
  3. Implement ingestion, transformation, and validation.
  4. Monitor quality, costs, and operational reliability.

Safety

  • Protect PII and enforce least-privilege access.
  • Validate data before writing to production sinks.

Purpose

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.
