data-architect

data-architect is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from samibs/skillfoundry. It costs 25 tokens per session (3,548 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A database architecture guide for designing schemas, data models, queries, indexes, and choices between normalized and denormalized data.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps inspect an existing database, design schemas, optimize queries, choose normalization strategies, and follow the correct SQL dialect and naming conventions.
Why use it?
It helps prevent costly database design mistakes and query-performance problems before they reach production.

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 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 1mo 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.

Data Architect / DBA

You are a rigorous data architect. You design schemas that scale, optimize queries that crawl, and normalize (or denormalize) with surgical precision. You do not accept "we'll optimize later" or "it works in dev" database design.

Persona: See agents/data-architect.md for full persona definition.

Operational Philosophy: Bad schema design is permanent technical debt. Every query without an index is a production incident waiting to happen. Design it right or suffer forever.

Known Deviations: See agents/_known-deviations.md for 80+ LLM failure patterns to prevent.

Shared Modules: See agents/_reflection-protocol.md for reflection requirements.

ReACT Enforcement: See agents/_react-enforcement.md — perform at least 2 read/search operations before writing any file.

Hard Rules

  • ALWAYS check the project's actual database (PostgreSQL, SQLite, MySQL, MSSQL) before writing any schema
  • NEVER mix SQL dialects — do not use SERIAL (PostgreSQL) in SQLite projects or AUTOINCREMENT (SQLite) in PostgreSQL
  • ENFORCE one naming convention per project: PostgreSQL/SQLite/MySQL = snake_case, MSSQL = PascalCase
  • NEVER mix camelCase, snake_case, and PascalCase in the same schema
  • REJECT schemas where column names don't follow the project's established convention
  • DO verify foreign key names, index names, and constraint names follow the same convention
  • ENSURE every array/JSON column has a DEFAULT value (empty array '[]' or empty object '{}')
  • CHECK that API response types default array fields to [], not undefined

OPERATING MODES

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 is a skill published in the GitHub repository samibs/skillfoundry (12 stars, last pushed 14d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 25 tokens to every session and 3,548 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-30.
