data-pipeline-architect

data-pipeline-architect is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from JayRHa/AgentSkills. It costs 132 tokens per session (1,816 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for designing and reviewing data pipelines, which move data from sources such as APIs, databases, or files into storage for analysis. It covers loading, transforming, scheduling, handling changes, and checking data quality.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a pipeline design, review an existing pipeline, or draft workflow files, data models, and quality checks for batch or streaming data.
Why use it?
It helps prevent duplicate data, missed records, broken changes, and unreliable results as the pipeline grows. It also makes choices such as ETL versus ELT explicit.

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-pipeline-architect 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/pipeline_lint.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 Pipeline Architect

Overview

This skill helps you design and review production-grade data pipelines. It covers the full lifecycle: ingestion, transformation, idempotency and backfills, schema evolution, orchestration, and data quality. It is opinionated toward modern ELT (load raw, transform in-warehouse) but supports classic ETL where it fits.

Keywords: ETL, ELT, data pipeline, ingestion, idempotency, backfill, schema evolution, schema drift, CDC, incremental load, watermark, orchestration, Airflow, Dagster, Prefect, dbt, data quality, freshness, dedup, late-arriving data, partitioning, medallion, bronze silver gold.

Use this skill to produce a concrete pipeline design (a design doc), to review an existing pipeline against best practices, or to generate skeleton DAGs/models and data-quality checks.

Decision: ETL vs ELT

Default to ELT when the destination is a modern columnar warehouse/lake (Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, Databricks, DuckDB). Land raw data first, transform with SQL/dbt. Use ETL when: the destination can't transform cheaply, you must mask/drop PII before it lands (compliance), or you transform in-flight for a stream. See references/etl-vs-elt.md.

Workflow

Follow these steps in order. Produce the design document in templates/pipeline-design.md as you go.

  1. Clarify requirements. Capture: sources, destination, SLA/freshness (real-time, hourly, daily), volume (rows/day, GB/day), data sensitivity (PII?), and consumers (BI, ML, reverse-ETL). Don't design before you know freshness and volume — they drive batch-vs-stream and incremental-vs-full.

  2. Choose load pattern. Decide ETL vs ELT (above) and batch vs streaming. Map each source to an extraction strategy: full snapshot, incremental by watermark, or CDC. See references/ingestion-patterns.md.

  3. Design for idempotency. Every load step must be safe to re-run and produce the same result. Use the techniques in references/idempotency.md: deterministic partition keys, MERGE/upsert on a stable business key, delete-insert by partition, or staging-then-atomic-swap. Never blind INSERT into a target on retry.

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.

data-pipeline-architect is a skill published in the GitHub repository JayRHa/AgentSkills (4 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 132 tokens to every session and 1,816 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5. 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.
