etl-validate

etl-validate is a skill for Claude Code from sfc-gh-dflippo/snowflake-dbt-demo. It costs 59 tokens per session (2,305 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A live comparison check for an ETL pipeline and its Snowflake conversion. It runs the original source package and the converted version, then verifies that their outputs match.

In plain words
What is it for?
It validates deployed SSIS or Informatica units, or other platforms explicitly configured with an external command, against Snowflake output.
Why use it?
It catches differences that static conversion checks may miss, but only runs after the converted unit is deployed and its test instructions and connections exist.

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

etl-validate 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 2d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 140 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

ETL Validate

Runs scai test etl-validate --platform <platform> against a single ETL code unit, verifying that the original source package and its Snowflake equivalent produce identical output. Requires the ETL unit to be deployed and a test YAML to exist for it.

Deploy, the test YAML, and connections are all enforced by the state machine, not this skill. etlValidate has deterministic preconditions: deploy (the unit is deployed to Snowflake), artifactExists on etl-test/*.y*ml (a kind: etl test YAML — .yml or .yaml, from etlSeed/scai test seed or hand-authored — is present under the unit's artifacts dir), and configureSourceConnectionExtract + configureSnowflakeTarget. The executor only dispatches this skill once all hold, so it is safe to run standalone (targeted directly at etlValidate): the machine will not dispatch it against an undeployed unit, one with no test YAML, or an unconfigured session. scai test etl-validate reads the connection details from the project's settings/test_config.yaml; named-connection overrides can be passed with -c / -s.

Step 0: Resolve Unit

Read the registry entry (the executor passes object_id; if entered by name, locate via migration_status(mode="my_objects_summary")):

Field Used as
id {ETL_ID} for the --where filter
source.platform {PLATFORM_ID} for --platform (ssis, informatica, …) — pass the registry's value verbatim, including its casing (sqlServer, not sqlserver)

Step 0b: Platforms Without a Built-in Executor

Only ssis (SQL Agent / SSISDB) and informatica (pmcmd / dbt Cloud) have a built-in executor. Any other kind: etl platform — DataStage, Talend, an in-house shell or binary orchestrator — is rejected by --platform and by the seeder unless the project declares an external_command: section in .scai/settings/test_config.yaml:

external_command:
  side: source                              # source | target — required
  command: ["/opt/etl/run.sh", "--full"]    # required, argv list (no shell)
  working_dir: /opt/etl                     # optional
  env: {ETL_ENV: prod}                      # optional
  wait_seconds: 300                         # seed-time default for the emitted YAML

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.

etl-validate is a skill published in the GitHub repository sfc-gh-dflippo/snowflake-dbt-demo (33 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 59 tokens to every session and 2,305 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 2026-09-10.
