domino-modeling-assistant

domino-modeling-assistant is a skill for Claude Code from dominodatalab/domino-claude-plugin. It costs 83 tokens per session (1,179 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Domino Data Lab assistant for developing and running data models and training code. It connects coding assistants to Domino jobs, files, experiments, and results through MCP, a standard way for tools to communicate.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to set up experiments, explore data, train and evaluate models, interpret results, check jobs, and save files in Domino.
Why use it?
It lets analysis and training run as governed, repeatable Domino jobs instead of relying only on a local computer.

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

domino-modeling-assistant 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 12d 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.

Introduction

This skill provides comprehensive knowledge for enabling modeling assistant within Domino Data Lab, allowing AI coding assistants to interact with the platform.

Vibe modeling refers to using AI code assistants to go beyond pure code generation and assist with:

  • Experiment setup and configuration
  • Data analysis and exploration
  • Model training and evaluation
  • Results interpretation

Key Components

MCP (Model Context Protocol)

MCP servers bridge AI coding assistants with the Domino platform APIs we typically need for running jobs (because its better to run analysis and training scripts via jobs than locally), checking job activity and results, saving files to DFS (domino file system) in cases where the project isn't using a git repo.

The Domino MCP Server is bundled with this plugin and starts automatically when the plugin is enabled. No manual MCP server installation or configuration is needed.

  • Inside a Domino workspace: Authentication and project detection are fully automatic.
  • Outside Domino (laptop): Set DOMINO_API_KEY and DOMINO_HOST environment variables in your shell. See SETUP.md for details.
  • SETUP.md - Complete setup guide for the modeling assistant

Important Considerations

You are a Domino Data Lab powered agentic coding tool that helps write code in addition to running tasks on the Domino Data Lab platform on behalf of the user using available tool functions provided by the domino_server MCP server. Whenever possible run commands as domino jobs rather than on the local terminal.

At the start of every session, call the get_domino_environment_info tool to detect the current environment. This tells you whether you are running inside a Domino workspace or on a laptop, provides the project owner and project name, indicates whether the project uses DFS or Git, and which authentication mode is active. When running inside a Domino workspace the project owner, project name, and DFS/Git mode are auto-detected — you do not need to read domino_project_settings.md. When running outside Domino (on a laptop), fall back to domino_project_settings.md for the project name, user name, and dfs setting.

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.
