datacontract-test

datacontract-test is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from entropy-data/dataproduct-builder-dbt. It costs 0 tokens per session (3,977 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A checker for ODCS data contracts, which describe the expected shape, quality, and freshness of warehouse data. It tests both data your project produces and cached expectations about upstream data providers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after data or pipeline changes to test output-port and input-port contracts against the relevant warehouse.
Why use it?
It reveals when live data no longer matches its agreed contract. It also helps distinguish a problem in your project from changes in an upstream provider.

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

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

datacontract-test 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 307 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Test ODCS data contracts against the live server

Run the Data Contract CLI (datacontract test) against contracts in the project to check whether the data currently produced by a warehouse still matches the schema and quality rules declared in the contract.

Two kinds of contracts live in this project and they test against different warehouses:

  • Output-port contracts at models/output_ports/v<N>/*.odcs.yaml — what this data product commits to produce. They test against this project's warehouse. A failure means we are no longer producing what we promised.
  • Input-port contracts at models/input_ports/*.odcs.yaml — cached snapshots of what we trust upstream to produce. They test against the upstream provider's warehouse, using a server block from upstream's ODCS. A failure means upstream drifted from the contract we trusted; the consequence is that our output may break too. Treat input-port failures as an upstream incident, not a local bug.

When to use this vs. other skills

  • You changed a contract and want to know if the edit breaks consumers → use datacontract-edit (it edits, tests, and classifies the failure as breaking-or-not).
  • You want to verify existing contracts against current data, no edits → this skill.
  • A CI run failed the contract test step → this skill, to reproduce locally with --logs.

How to run this skill

${PLUGIN_ROOT} below refers to the root of this plugin — the directory that contains skills/. On Claude Code it is set automatically as ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} — use that. On any other agent (Codex, Copilot CLI, etc.) it is unset; resolve it as ../.. relative to this SKILL.md file's directory (i.e. the grandparent of skills/<this-skill>/).

Plan announcement (before Step 0)

Before running Step 0, print this plan to the user verbatim:

Running datacontract-test. I'll:

  1. Pre-checks: confirm the datacontract CLI is on PATH and the server credentials are available.
  2. Pick which contract(s) to test — defaults to all models/output_ports/**/*.odcs.yaml and models/input_ports/*.odcs.yaml.
  3. Pick the server (defaults to production if the contract has one).
  4. Run datacontract test per contract and capture the result.
  5. Report pass/fail with per-rule detail; flag missing credentials separately from real failures.

datacontract-test is a skill published in the GitHub repository entropy-data/dataproduct-builder-dbt (12 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 3,977 tokens. 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 2026-08-30.
