What is arch-lens-data-lineage?

A tool for drawing where information goes through a system, how it changes format, and where it is stored.

Use it to document inputs, transformations, format conversions, storage destinations, and read-versus-write paths.

It makes data movement and the system's source of truth easier to trace than static component diagrams do.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00033	$0.02293
Opus 5	$0.00016	$0.01146
Sonnet 5	$0.00007	$0.00459
Haiku 4.5	$0.00003	$0.00229

Security

Grade A, and why

arch-lens-data-lineage 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 10d 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 — 286 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Data Lineage Architecture Lens

Cognitive Mode: Data-Centric Primary Question: "Where is the data?" Focus: Information Flow, Transformations, Storage Locations, Format Conversions

When to Use

Need to understand how data flows through the system
Documenting data transformations and conversions
Identifying storage destinations and access patterns
User invokes /autoskillit:arch-lens-data-lineage or /autoskillit:make-arch-diag data

Critical Constraints

NEVER:

Modify any source code files
Focus on runtime behavior (that's process flow lens)
Show static structure without data context
Run subagents in the background (run_in_background: true is prohibited)

ALWAYS:

Trace data from INPUT to STORAGE
Show transformation stages and format changes
Identify the single source of truth
Distinguish read vs write operations
BEFORE creating any diagram, LOAD the /autoskillit:mermaid skill using the Skill tool - this is MANDATORY
If the Skill tool cannot be used (disable-model-invocation) or refuses this invocation, do NOT proceed with diagram creation. Abort this step and omit the diagram from output.
After writing the diagram file, emit the absolute path as a structured output token as your final output. Resolve the relative temp/arch-lens-data-lineage/... save path to absolute by prepending the full CWD:
```
diagram_path = /absolute/cwd/temp/arch-lens-data-lineage/{filename}.md
```
This token is MANDATORY — the pipeline cannot proceed without it.

Arguments

/autoskillit:arch-lens-data-lineage [context_path]

context_path (optional) — Absolute path to a PR context file containing new files (★-prefixed) and modified files (●-prefixed) from the PR diff. When provided, read this file before beginning analysis and focus the diagram on the architectural areas affected by these specific files. When absent, explore the full CWD.

Analysis Workflow

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.

arch-lens-data-lineage is a skill published in the GitHub repository TalonT-Org/AutoSkillit (5 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 33 tokens to every session and 2,293 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-31.
