rill-rillyaml

rill-rillyaml is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from rilldata/agent-skills. It costs 17 tokens per session (3,994 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Instructions for creating and maintaining rill.yaml, the required project configuration file for Rill, a data analytics platform.

In plain words
What is it for?
For setting project metadata, choosing a default analytical database such as DuckDB or ClickHouse, and selecting the AI connector used by Rill’s agent, charts, and chat.
Why use it?
It explains project-wide settings and the databases or AI services a Rill project uses by default. This prevents configuration from being placed in the wrong file or connector.

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

rill-rillyaml 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.

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.

Instructions for developing rill.yaml

Introduction

rill.yaml is a required configuration file located at the root of every Rill project. It defines project-wide settings, similar to package.json in Node.js or dbt_project.yml in dbt.

Core Concepts

Project metadata

There are no required properties in rill.yaml, but it is common to configure:

  • display_name: Human-readable name shown in the UI
  • description: Brief description of the project's purpose
  • compiler: Deprecated property that is commonly found in old projects

Default OLAP connector

The olap_connector property sets the default OLAP database for the project. Models output to this connector by default, and metrics views query from it unless explicitly overridden.

Common values are duckdb or clickhouse. If not specified, Rill initializes a managed DuckDB database and uses it as the default OLAP connector.

Default AI connector

The ai_connector property selects the connector powering AI features (developer agent, AI charts, chat). Point it to an AI connector defined in the project, such as openai, claude, or gemini. Defaults to Rill's built-in AI service.

Mock users for security testing

The mock_users property defines test users for validating security policies during local development. Each mock user can have:

  • email (required): The user's email address
  • name: Display name
  • admin: Boolean indicating admin privileges
  • groups: List of group memberships
  • Custom attributes for use in security policy expressions

When mock users are defined and security policies exist, a "View as" dropdown appears in the dashboard preview.

Environment variables

The env property sets default values for non-sensitive variables. These can be referenced in resource files using templating syntax ({{ .env.<variable> }}). Sensitive secrets should go in .env instead.

Resource type defaults

Project-wide defaults can be set for resource types using plural keys:

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.
