nw-der-review-criteria

nw-der-review-criteria is a skill for Claude Code from nWave-ai/nWave. It costs 16 tokens per session (950 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A scoring guide for reviewing data-engineering work across research citations, security controls, and trade-off analysis. It checks items such as encryption, access control, safe database queries, standards, and evidence for recommendations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess database or data-platform proposals, review security coverage, verify citations, and score whether alternatives and trade-offs are discussed.
Why use it?
It makes reviews more consistent and shows which important concerns are missing. The scoring also distinguishes evidence-backed recommendations from unsupported general advice.

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

nw-der-review-criteria 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 1mo 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 Engineer Review Criteria

Evaluation criteria for each review dimension. Load when performing reviews.

Dimension 1: Research Citation Quality

Evaluate whether recommendations trace to specific evidence.

Checks: Each major recommendation cites a specific research finding | Citations are accurate (finding number matches content) | Vendor-specific claims have multiple independent sources | General best practices distinguished from research-validated guidance

Scoring: 10: All cited, verified | 7: Most cited, 1-2 missing on non-critical points | 4: Major recommendations lack citations | 0: No citations

Dimension 2: Security Coverage

Evaluate defense-in-depth for data layer.

Checks: Encryption at rest (TDE) | Encryption in transit (TLS) | Access control model (RBAC/ABAC) | SQL injection prevention (parameterized queries) | OWASP/NIST standards referenced | Credential handling (no hardcoded secrets)

Scoring: 10: All 6 checks with standard references | 7: 4-5 checks | 4: 2-3 checks, missing encryption or injection prevention | 0: Security not mentioned

Dimension 3: Trade-off Analysis

Evaluate balanced presentation of alternatives.

Checks: Multiple technology options (minimum 2) | Pros/cons for each | Context factors identified (scale, consistency, latency, cost) | Recommendation justified by context fit | Limitations acknowledged

Scoring: 10: Comprehensive trade-offs with context-driven justification | 7: Trade-offs present, some alternatives missing | 4: Single recommendation without alternatives | 0: Prescriptive with no analysis

Dimension 4: Technical Accuracy

Checks: SQL/NoSQL syntax correct for specified DB | Architecture patterns appropriate for use case (OLTP vs OLAP, write-heavy vs read-heavy) | Optimization strategies valid for target DB | Normalization level appropriate for workload | Index type matches query patterns (B-tree for range, hash for equality) | CAP trade-offs correctly applied

Scoring: 10: All technical claims verified | 7: Minor syntax/edge-case issues | 4: Significant errors affecting recommendations | 0: Fundamentally incorrect guidance

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.
