forge-data

forge-data is a skill for Claude Code from ForgeyClap/claude-forge. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,372 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A playbook for building data pipelines that move and transform information into databases or analytics warehouses, using tools such as SQL and dbt. ETL and ELT are ways to load data and transform it for use.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for warehouse loads, dbt models, Snowflake or BigQuery work, incremental updates, schema checks, backfills, and data-quality rules involving sensitive personal information.
Why use it?
It focuses on preventing silent data corruption, duplicate records, broken reruns, and unnoticed changes in incoming data.

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

forge-data 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 20d 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 — 40 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Forge playbook — Data engineering / ETL / dbt

Do not duplicate ECC skills — defer to: systematic-debugging (pipeline failures), /test-coverage (transform test coverage), learn-codebase / forge-deeplearn (prime an existing warehouse before touching it). This file is orchestration only.

A data pipeline's job is to be trustworthy and repeatable, not just to "run once". The failure mode here is silent: a load that half-succeeds, a duplicate on retry, or a schema change upstream that quietly corrupts a downstream mart while every job still shows green. Treat the warehouse as the product.

Hard rules

  • Schema contracts at every boundary. Source and model outputs declare an explicit, enforced schema (dbt model contracts: enforced, or an explicit column/type check on load). A schema-drift upstream fails the run loudly — never silently coerces or drops columns.
  • Idempotent + incremental. A rerun produces the same result — no duplicated rows. Incremental loads use a stable unique key (merge/upsert) and a watermark/high-water-mark with a look-back window to handle late-arriving data; append-only without a dedupe key is banned. Backfills are explicit, bounded, and stated (date range / partition), never an unbounded full-table rewrite by accident.
  • Data-quality tests are part of "done". Not-null / unique / accepted-values / referential (relationships) tests on key columns, plus a freshness check and a row-count/volume sanity check. A pipeline with zero tests is not shippable.
  • Lineage is documented. The DAG / column-level lineage is generated or written down (dbt docs / a lineage diagram). No orphan models, no undocumented hop that only lives in someone's head.
  • No PII leakage. PII is classified up front; masked, hashed, or tokenized where it lands; never written to logs, never committed to the repo, and access-scoped in the warehouse. Minimize what you collect and keep.
  • Dead-letter for validation failures. Records that fail validation go to a dead-letter table or file with the original data, the error, and a timestamp — never silently dropped.
  • Reproducible runs. Warehouse/profile credentials in env (never in profiles.yml or committed), dependencies pinned, SQL/seeds versioned in git, transformations deterministic (no now()-driven nondeterminism baked into stored results without a reason). The same code + same input → the same table.

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.

forge-data is a skill published in the GitHub repository ForgeyClap/claude-forge (2 stars, last pushed 21d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,372 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 2026-08-31.
