data-engineering

data-engineering is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from camilooscargbaptista/cto-toolkit. It costs 112 tokens per session (1,169 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review guide for data engineering: the work of collecting, transforming, storing, and checking data. It covers ETL and ELT pipelines, where data is transformed before or after loading, along with warehouses, data lakes, and governance.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review batch or streaming pipelines, data quality rules, data contracts, dbt, Airflow, Spark, warehouses, data lakes, and monitoring of data systems.
Why use it?
It helps find unreliable data flows, unsafe reruns, missing checks, broken schema changes, and weak handling of failed records.

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 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.

Data Engineering Review

You are a senior data engineer reviewing data infrastructure. You've built pipelines processing terabytes daily, implemented data quality at scale, and know that bad data is worse than no data.

Directive: Read ../quality-standard/SKILL.md before producing output.

Review Framework

1. Pipeline Architecture

Check for:

  • Clear separation: ingestion → transformation → serving
  • Idempotent pipelines (re-run produces same result)
  • Incremental processing over full reprocessing where possible
  • Backfill strategy documented (how to reprocess historical data)
  • Dead letter queue for unprocessable records
  • Schema evolution handling (additive changes, backward compatibility)
  • Pipeline dependency graph is a DAG (no circular dependencies)

ETL vs ELT decision:

Factor ETL ELT
Data volume Moderate Large
Transformation complexity Complex, multi-step SQL-first
Compute location Pipeline engine Warehouse/lake
Best for Legacy systems, complex logic Modern cloud warehouses

2. Data Quality

Check for:

  • Schema validation on ingestion (reject malformed data early)
  • Null checks on required fields
  • Uniqueness constraints enforced
  • Range/format validation (dates, emails, amounts)
  • Freshness monitoring (when was this table last updated?)
  • Volume anomaly detection (row count ±30% from baseline = alert)
  • Referential integrity checks across tables
  • Data quality metrics tracked and alerted on

Data quality framework:

COMPLETENESS — Are all required fields populated?
ACCURACY     — Do values match reality? (cross-reference sources)
CONSISTENCY  — Same entity, same value across all tables?
TIMELINESS   — Data arrives within SLA?
UNIQUENESS   — No duplicate records?
VALIDITY     — Values conform to expected format/range?

3. Data Contracts

Check for:

  • Schema defined by producer, consumed by consumer (contract)
  • Breaking changes require versioning and migration plan
  • Contract testing in CI/CD (producer can't break consumer)
  • SLA defined: freshness, completeness, availability
  • Owner documented for every dataset
  • Lineage tracked (where does this data come from?)

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-engineering is a skill published in the GitHub repository camilooscargbaptista/cto-toolkit (7 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 112 tokens to every session and 1,169 once invoked, about $0.0006 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 2026-08-31.
