data-engineering

A toolkit for building data pipelines that collect, check, and import records. It focuses on web scrapers, one-record-per-line JSON files, and loading data into test or production systems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to scrape websites, validate NDJSON feeds, filter failed records, inspect source pages, and import checked data into staging or production.
Why use it?
It helps catch missing fields, invalid JSON, and bad location data before they reach a database or content system. It also provides a safer way to test imports before changing live data.

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

Per session 35 Skills are progressive disclosure: only the name and description are preloaded; the body loads when the skill is used.
When invoked 418 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

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-engineering 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 2d 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.

What it actually says

Data Engineering

Project-specific sources, full schema, full scraper and extended validator: REFERENCE.md.

Scraper

Headless browser cluster (Puppeteer Cluster / Playwright) with retryLimit: 3, retryDelay: 5000, timeout: 30000, args: ['--no-sandbox', '--disable-setuid-sandbox'].

NDJSON Output

One record per line. Required: name (preserve original encoding), lat/lng, address (full text), source (e.g. google-maps), sourceId (source-unique), category. Optional: rating, reviewCount, phone, website, openingHours, photos, priceLevel.

Pipeline

node ./scripts/scrape-to-ndjson.js --out=data.ndjson --pages=100
node ./scripts/validate-ndjson.js data.ndjson
node ./scripts/dry-import.js data.ndjson --target=staging
node ./scripts/import.js data.ndjson --target=production
  1. Scrape a --dry-run sample of 50–200 records; require expected fields and geo data. Otherwise fix extractor selectors and re-run the sample.
  2. Validate NDJSON line-by-line (JSON parse + schema): require 0 parse errors, all required fields. Isolate failures with ndjson-filter, inspect source HTML.
  3. Dry-run import to staging with createOrReplace disabled: counts within ±5% of expectation, no duplicates. Otherwise revert staging and adjust the dedupe key.
  4. Snapshot the target (timestamped export) before writing.
  5. Import with idempotent keys; revert to the snapshot on failure.
Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.

data-engineering is a skill published in the GitHub repository monkilabs/opencastle (61 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 35 tokens to every session and 418 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.
