datasource

datasource is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from DavidROliverBA/ArchitectKB. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,209 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for creating a DataSource note about a database, table, API endpoint, dataset, or other data entity, including its ownership and key details.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to document databases, tables, APIs, event streams, warehouses, data lakes, and caches, linked to the system that owns them.
Why use it?
It gives teams a consistent place to record what a data source contains, how it can be accessed, and how reliable or large it is.

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

datasource 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.

/datasource

Create a DataSource note documenting a specific database, table, API endpoint, dataset, or data entity with schema, quality metrics, and access information.

Usage

/datasource <name>
/datasource "SAP Invoices"
/datasource "DataPlatform Revenue Fact Table"
/datasource "Snowflake Customers"

Instructions

Phase 1: Parse Input & Link to System

  1. Extract data source name
  2. Ask which system owns this data:
    Which system owns this data source?
    Search: [user searches for System]
    Or create new System? (Y/n)
    
  3. Confirm link: "Link to [[System - {{system}}]]? (Y/n)"

Phase 2: Essential Information

Creating DataSource: {{name}} (owned by {{system}})

1️⃣ Data Type:
   - database-table (relational table)
   - database-view (virtual table)
   - api-endpoint (REST/GraphQL data)
   - kafka-topic (event stream)
   - data-warehouse-table (Snowflake/BigQuery)
   - data-lake (file-based storage)
   - cache (Redis/Memcached)
   Default: database-table
   User input: [selection]

2️⃣ Record Count (approximate):
   Default: null
   User input: [number, e.g., 5000000]

3️⃣ Data Volume per Day:
   Default: null
   User input: [e.g., "2.5GB", "500K records"]

4️⃣ Refresh Frequency:
   - real-time
   - hourly
   - daily
   - weekly
   - on-demand
   Default: daily
   User input: [selection]

5️⃣ Classification:
   - public
   - internal
   - confidential
   - secret
   Default: internal
   User input: [selection]

Phase 3: Data Quality (Optional)

Ask: "Add data quality metrics? (Y/n)"

If YES:

- Completeness (%): 98.5
- Uniqueness (%): 99.9
- Accuracy: high | medium | low
- Timeliness: how fresh (< 5 minutes, < 1 hour, etc.)

Phase 4: Schema & Key Fields

Key Fields (comma-separated):
invoice_id, vendor_id, amount

Then ask:

Schema details needed? (Y/n)
- Parent entities (sources of this data)
- Child entities (what feeds from this)
- Related tables

Phase 5: Access & Consumers

How is this data accessed?
- REST API
- GraphQL
- Direct database query
- Kafka topic
- Batch export / S3
- Other
Default: [based on data type]

Which systems consume this data?
Search: [[System - DataPlatform]]
Add: [[System - Analytics]]

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.
