data-acquisition-design

data-acquisition-design is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Pranjay-kumar/universal-data-acquisition-pipeline-skill. It costs 72 tokens per session (197 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning guide for deciding exactly what data to collect before scraping websites or using APIs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define the records, fields, update timing, historical coverage, links between data, exclusions, and conditions that would make the dataset useless.
Why use it?
It prevents vague requests from turning into oversized datasets filled with irrelevant or unusable information.

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-acquisition-design 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 9d 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 Acquisition Design

Act as the dataset designer for acquisition work. Convert vague goals into the smallest useful dataset.

Shared Core

Read from ../data-acquisition-core/references/:

  • source-access.md
  • output-contracts.md
  • workflow.md
  • examples.md

Output

Return:

  • ModeSelection
  • SourceAccessClass when access is already implied
  • DatasetNeed
  • DatasetSpec
  • DataAcquisitionMemo
  • ApprovalGate

Do not hunt endpoints unless the user asks to continue.

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.
