data-pipeline-spec

data-pipeline-spec is a skill for Claude Code from cnfeat/top-pm-skills. It costs 70 tokens per session (2,478 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A specification for moving data from source systems through transformations into a destination. It defines schedules, freshness targets, error handling, data-quality checks, and monitoring.

In plain words
What is it for?
Designing ETL or ELT pipelines, data ingestion workflows, and integrations between databases, APIs, files, or event streams.
Why use it?
It turns an informal data-integration idea into a plan engineers can review and build.

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-spec 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 8d 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 Pipeline Spec Skill

This skill produces a complete data pipeline specification covering sources, transformations, destinations, scheduling, SLAs, error handling, data quality checks, and monitoring requirements. Output is ready for engineering handoff or architecture review.

Required Inputs

Ask the user for these if not provided:

  • Pipeline purpose — what business question or workflow does this pipeline serve?
  • Source systems — where does data come from? (databases, APIs, files, event streams)
  • Destination — where does data land? (data warehouse, data lake, downstream DB, reporting tool)
  • Transformation type — ETL (transform before loading) or ELT (load raw, transform in warehouse)?
  • Frequency / SLA — how often must data be fresh? (real-time / hourly / daily / weekly)
  • Volume estimate — approximate rows/events per run
  • Data quality requirements — completeness, deduplication, freshness, schema enforcement
  • Team or stack — any specific tools in use? (Airflow, dbt, Fivetran, Spark, Kafka, etc.)
