python-data-pipelines

python-data-pipelines is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from justanesta/claude-code-resources. It costs 63 tokens per session (864 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for building Python data pipelines: repeatable workflows that extract data, change it, and save it elsewhere, using Prefect or Airflow.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design ETL or ELT jobs, choose between Prefect and Airflow, schedule workflows, retry failed tasks, and cache results.
Why use it?
It helps organize steps and handle failures, retries, scheduling, and dependencies instead of managing each run manually.

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

python-data-pipelines scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 2mo 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.

Python Data Pipelines

Modern data pipeline orchestration patterns with Prefect and Airflow.

Decision Matrix: Prefect vs Airflow

Factor Prefect Airflow Winner
Learning curve Gentler (Pythonic) Steeper (DAG syntax) Prefect
Dynamic workflows Native Requires workarounds Prefect
Local development Excellent Harder Prefect
Ecosystem maturity Newer (2018) Mature (2014) Airflow

General guidance:

  • Use Prefect when: New projects, want Pythonic API, dynamic workflows
  • Use Airflow when: Existing Airflow org, need battle-tested tool

Prefect Patterns

Basic Task and Flow

from prefect import task, flow

@task
def extract_data(source: str) -> list:
    return fetch_from_api(source)

@task
def transform_data(data: list) -> list:
    return [process_record(r) for r in data]

@flow(name="ETL Pipeline")
def etl_pipeline(source: str, destination: str):
    raw = extract_data(source)
    transformed = transform_data(raw)
    load_data(transformed, destination)

Retries and Caching

from datetime import timedelta
from prefect.tasks import task_input_hash

@task(
    retries=3,
    retry_delay_seconds=60,
    cache_key_fn=task_input_hash,
    cache_expiration=timedelta(hours=1)
)
def unreliable_api_call(endpoint: str):
    response = requests.get(endpoint)
    response.raise_for_status()
    return response.json()

See prefect-patterns.md for:

  • Subflows
  • Task results and artifacts
  • Scheduling and deployment

Airflow Patterns

Basic DAG

from airflow import DAG
from airflow.operators.python import PythonOperator
from datetime import datetime, timedelta

with DAG(
    'etl_pipeline',
    schedule_interval='@daily',
    start_date=datetime(2024, 1, 1),
    catchup=False
) as dag:
    
    extract >> transform >> load

See airflow-patterns.md for:

  • TaskFlow API (modern Airflow)
  • Sensors for waiting
  • Branch operators
  • Dynamic task generation

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

python-data-pipelines is a skill published in the GitHub repository justanesta/claude-code-resources (2 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 63 tokens to every session and 864 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
