lake-catalog

lake-catalog is a skill for Claude Code from OleanderHQ/claude-plugin. It costs 57 tokens per session (590 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Rules for naming and addressing tables in the oleander lake catalog, a managed system for storing data tables.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when choosing namespaces, reading or writing tables, and referring to oleander telemetry or other catalog data.
Why use it?
They prevent fragile raw storage paths and inconsistent names by requiring catalog-qualified references that work across Spark, Polars, SQL, and other engines.

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

lake-catalog 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 8d 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.

oleander Lake Catalog

Use this skill when reading from or writing to the oleander lake catalog from Spark, Polars, SQL, or another engine.

Catalog hierarchy

Tables are addressed as catalog.namespace.table:

  • catalog: always oleander for the managed Lakekeeper-backed catalog
  • namespace: a logical grouping (e.g., default, san_francisco, my_org)
  • table: the table name

By default, default and telemetry namespaces are available out of the box. The telemetry namespace contains oleander-managed data you can query directly (for example oleander.telemetry.run_events, oleander.telemetry.traces, and oleander.telemetry.logs).

These tables are partitioned on their time column and are reachable over MCP with query_run — see the lake-query skill.

Examples:

oleander.default.sf_311
oleander.san_francisco.district_stats
oleander.my_namespace.results

Referencing tables

Always use fully qualified table names through the engine's catalog integration. Do not build raw storage paths such as S3 URIs when reading or writing Iceberg tables.

Good patterns:

  • read oleander.default.sf_311 through your engine's catalog-aware table API
  • write results to oleander.my_namespace.results

Avoid:

  • hardcoding storage locations like s3://.../warehouse/...
  • bypassing the catalog when the engine supports catalog-qualified reads and writes

Using the catalog name keeps Iceberg metadata, lineage, and table semantics consistent across engines.

Engine-specific read/write syntax

This skill defines the shared catalog rules. Engine-specific syntax and operational advice should live in engine-specific skills.

Use companion skills when available:

  • Spark: see spark-lake-catalog for spark.table(...), write modes, and caching guidance
  • Other engines: keep the same table naming and catalog-reference rules, but use that engine's native API

Namespace conventions

  • Use lowercase, underscore-separated names for namespaces and tables.
  • Keep the namespace tied to the domain or data source, not the job name.
  • Avoid deeply nested namespaces; one level is usually sufficient.

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.

lake-catalog is a skill published in the GitHub repository OleanderHQ/claude-plugin (4 stars, last pushed 29d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 57 tokens to every session and 590 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
