senior-data-engineer

senior-data-engineer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Kilo-Org/kilo-marketplace. It costs 85 tokens per session (1,433 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A data-engineering guide for building systems that collect, transform, store, and check data using tools such as Python, SQL, Spark, Airflow, dbt, and Kafka.

In plain words
What is it for?
It supports ETL and ELT design, batch or streaming architecture, data modeling, freshness checks, data contracts, Spark optimization, and Airflow tuning.
Why use it?
It helps plan reliable data pipelines and resolve problems such as slow jobs, late data, poor data quality, and difficult pipeline scheduling.

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

senior-data-engineer 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/data_quality_validator.py, scripts/etl_performance_optimizer.py, scripts/pipeline_orchestrator.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.

  --type airflow \
  --source postgres \
  --destination snowflake \
  --schedule "0 5 * * *"

# Validate data quality

Architecture Decision Framework

Use this framework to choose the right approach for your data pipeline.

Batch vs Streaming

Criteria Batch Streaming
Latency requirement Hours to days Seconds to minutes
Data volume Large historical datasets Continuous event streams
Processing complexity Complex transformations, ML Simple aggregations, filtering
Cost sensitivity More cost-effective Higher infrastructure cost
Error handling Easier to reprocess Requires careful design

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.
