data-architect-engineering

data-architect-engineering is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from oghie/skillsets. It costs 98 tokens per session (3,325 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for designing and operating the way an application stores, moves, and retrieves data. It covers choices such as relational databases, document stores, search indexes, vector stores, graphs, caches, and event logs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design, review, migrate, optimize, secure, troubleshoot, monitor, or retire data systems, including SQL, NoSQL, search, vector retrieval, time-series, and data pipelines.
Why use it?
It helps match storage technology and data structures to the workload, consistency, security, reliability, and operational needs instead of choosing a database first. It also considers whether a database is needed at all.

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-architect-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 5d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/data_architecture_static_audit.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 Architect Engineering

Core Rule

Treat data architecture as a safety-critical engineering system: define workload, data model, access pattern, consistency, security, reliability, operational ownership, and validation before choosing a database, schema, index, shard key, cache, warehouse, or migration path.

First Pass

  1. Classify the task: database necessity assessment, data model exploration, greenfield design, new datastore creation, data model change, enhancement, migration, legacy modernization, decommissioning, performance tuning, preventive incident review, security review, reliability review, incident troubleshooting, stack selection, DBMS internals review, hardware/storage sizing, monitoring, CDC/data movement, or orchestration.
  2. Identify workload shape: OLTP, OLAP, HTAP, stream, event log, search, vector retrieval/RAG, graph traversal, document CRUD, time-series ingest/query, key-value/session/cache, queue-like, ML feature store, data lake, data warehouse, or hybrid.
  3. Ask whether the application needs a database at all, a local embedded database, a file/object store, a cache, an event log, a search/vector index, or a full client/server DBMS.
  4. Capture non-negotiables: data criticality, RPO/RTO, SLO/SLI, latency percentiles, throughput, data volume/growth, write/read ratio, retention, tenant isolation, compliance, confidentiality, integrity, availability, and recovery evidence.
  5. Name the data model and query path before naming technology: relational entities, key-value namespaces, graph nodes/edges, document aggregates, column-family partitions, arrays/matrices, hierarchical/network paths, vectors/embeddings, time-series, spatial/geospatial objects, metamodel types, analytical facts/dimensions, lineage, and access patterns.
  6. Decide validation before recommendation: schema review, ISO SQL/dialect compatibility check, EXPLAIN/plan analysis, storage/page/buffer/WAL evidence, benchmark, load test, migration rehearsal, CDC replay test, restore drill, failover test, consistency check, threat model, data-quality test, or rollback simulation.

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-architect-engineering is a skill published in the GitHub repository oghie/skillsets (9 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 98 tokens to every session and 3,325 once invoked, about $0.0005 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.
