data-data-lake

data-data-lake is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from j4flmao/agent-skills. It costs 101 tokens per session (4,983 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to building data lakes: large stores of data held on cloud or object storage, often using Delta Lake, Apache Iceberg, or Apache Hudi. It covers reliable updates, history, schema changes, and storage organization.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for selecting a lake table format, planning partitions and compaction, supporting time-travel queries, and handling change-data-capture data with Spark, Flink, Trino, Presto, or Hive.
Why use it?
It helps make raw cloud-stored data reliable and queryable even when records are updated, schemas change, or data arrives continuously.

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-data-lake 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 Lake

Purpose

Design and operate ACID-compliant data lakes on object storage using Delta Lake, Apache Iceberg, or Apache Hudi. Manage table formats, optimize storage layout, enforce schema evolution, and implement time-travel and CDC patterns.

Agent Protocol

Trigger

Exact user phrases: "Delta Lake", "Apache Iceberg", "Apache Hudi", "Lakehouse", "ACID on lake", "time travel", "table format", "compaction", "Z-order", "Hilbert curve", "vacuum", "CDC", "merge-on-read", "copy-on-write", "manifest file", "metadata layer", "schema evolution", "optimize table", "incremental query".

Input Context

Before activating, verify:

  • Object storage backend (S3, ADLS, GCS, MinIO)
  • Table format preference (Delta, Iceberg, Hudi)
  • Compute engine (Spark, Flink, Trino, Presto, Hive)
  • Write pattern (append-heavy, update-heavy, CDC stream)
  • Query pattern (OLAP, incremental, point lookup, full scan)
  • Partition strategy (date, categorical, Z-order dimensions)

Output Artifact

Lake architecture with table format selection, compaction strategy, optimization plan.

Response Format

Table Format: {Delta Lake | Apache Iceberg | Apache Hudi}
Storage: {S3 | ADLS | GCS | MinIO}
Write Mode: {copy-on-write | merge-on-read}
Partition: {column, granularity}
Optimize: {Z-order by columns, compaction interval}
Vacuum: {retention hours}
-- DDL / optimization commands

No preamble. No postamble. No explanations. No filler/hedging/transitions. Compress output — why use many token when few do trick.

Completion Criteria

  • Table format selected with trade-off analysis
  • ACID guarantees documented (concurrent readers/writers)
  • Write mode (CoW vs MoR) selected per table
  • Partition strategy defined
  • Compaction policy set (file size target, interval)
  • Vacuum retention period configured
  • Schema evolution rules defined

Max Response Length

250 lines of config.

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.
