df-data-transform-lens

df-data-transform-lens is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from OneDro1d/dark-factory. It costs 79 tokens per session (944 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A way to describe an application as data moving through processing steps. It identifies each data record's structure, source, owner of the truth, and handling rules, while marking steps that merely calculate versus steps that change the outside world.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to model schemas and data contracts, map transformations, decide which system owns each fact, define validation rules, and plan safe retries and rollback actions.
Why use it?
It gives teams a shared way to reason about data flow, conflicting values, retries, security, and recovery. This makes hidden risks easier to identify before implementation.

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

df-data-transform-lens 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.

Dark Factory — The Data-Transform Lens

Overview

An application is not a machine with features; it is a data-transformation algorithm: input data → transforms → output data, carrying state forward in time. Modelling a system this way collapses the design space and concentrates effort where the risk actually lives. Every other df-* skill is this model applied at one stage.

The model: two primitives + two tags

  • Data node = a schema + its single-datum invariants, carrying context:
    • location — which store/system holds it now (not a trust signal).
    • origin — where it came from (web/mobile/scan/API/another service). Travels for audit; never a trust signal.
    • authority — is this the system-of-record for this fact? A ranking; the conflict resolver.
    • governance — security class, retention, residency. Travels with the datum.
  • Transform = (state, inputs) → (state', outputs), tagged:
    • pure — replayable, no marker needed.
    • effect — irreversible world-change (send / charge / publish / notify / external write). Must carry an idempotency key (retry ≠ double-action) + a compensation path (the hand-written un-transform).
  • Validation rule (tag over data) = a predicate that must hold. The only axis that changes architecture is enforcement locus:
    • LOCAL — checkable at one ingress/commit with all operands present → reject at the door.
    • GLOBAL — ranges across records/systems/time → flag, then reconcile by authority.
    • "Invariants" are just one species; the genus also covers parity bits, regex, Schematron, NEMSIS, double-entry.
  • Authority = the resolution policy a GLOBAL failure appeals to (who wins on conflict; drives reconciliation).

Two rules that are the heart of the model

  1. The boundary is the data. Every input edge of every unit (function, service, DB, queue) is a boundary. Data crossing in is untrusted until validated here. Trust is non-transitive and does not travel — re-earned at every crossing. Your own services can be corrupt; a message off your own bus still gets validated.
  2. Authority ≠ origin. A 3rd-party (bank, exchange) can be the authoritative source-of-truth that overrides your own well-formed cached copy. "Ours vs theirs" carries zero trust signal.

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.

df-data-transform-lens is a skill published in the GitHub repository OneDro1d/dark-factory (0 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 79 tokens to every session and 944 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-09-01.
