data-pipeline

data-pipeline is a skill for Claude Code from christopherlouet/claude-base. It costs 28 tokens per session (445 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to building data pipelines: repeatable flows that extract data, transform it, and load it into another system. It covers ETL, ELT, Airflow, and dbt.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design transformations, schedule pipeline jobs, add retries, and load cleaned data into a data warehouse.
Why use it?
It helps organize data work into scheduled, connected steps instead of manual exports and one-off scripts.

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-pipeline 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 3d 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 Pipeline

ETL vs ELT

Pattern When to use
ETL Complex transformation, sensitive data
ELT Big data, cloud DW (BigQuery, Snowflake)

Airflow DAG

from airflow import DAG
from airflow.operators.python import PythonOperator
from datetime import datetime, timedelta

default_args = {
    'owner': 'data-team',
    'retries': 3,
    'retry_delay': timedelta(minutes=5),
}

with DAG(
    'daily_etl',
    default_args=default_args,
    schedule_interval='0 2 * * *',
    start_date=datetime(2024, 1, 1),
    catchup=False,
) as dag:

    extract = PythonOperator(
        task_id='extract',
        python_callable=extract_from_source,
    )

    transform = PythonOperator(
        task_id='transform',
        python_callable=transform_data,
    )

    load = PythonOperator(
        task_id='load',
        python_callable=load_to_warehouse,
    )

    extract >> transform >> load

dbt Transformation

-- models/staging/stg_orders.sql
{{ config(materialized='view') }}

SELECT
    id AS order_id,
    customer_id,
    order_date,
    CAST(total AS DECIMAL(10,2)) AS total_amount
FROM {{ source('raw', 'orders') }}
WHERE order_date >= '2023-01-01'

Data Quality

def validate_data(df):
    assert df['order_id'].is_unique, "Duplicate IDs"
    assert df['amount'].ge(0).all(), "Negative amounts"
    assert df['customer_id'].notna().all(), "Null customers"

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

data-pipeline is a skill published in the GitHub repository christopherlouet/claude-base (5 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 28 tokens to every session and 445 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-09-03.
