senior-data-engineer

senior-data-engineer is a skill for Codex from vadimcomanescu/codex-skills. It costs 60 tokens per session (230 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for building reliable data pipelines and datasets. It covers moving data in, transforming it, checking its quality, handling failures, and tracking ownership and freshness.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for ETL or ELT pipelines, warehouse and data-lake schemas, backfills, data contracts, quality reviews, and data incidents.
Why use it?
It makes data work easier to operate and recover by defining expected data and checking for problems such as missing, invalid, duplicate, or mismatched records.

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

senior-data-engineer 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 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/data_quality_scan.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

Senior Data Engineer

Make data pipelines boring: predictable, observable, and recoverable.

Quick Start

  1. Define the data contract (schema + semantics + freshness + ownership).
  2. Design the pipeline:
    • Inputs, transformations, outputs, backfills, and failure handling
  3. Data quality: checks for nulls, ranges, uniqueness, and referential integrity.
  4. Operational story: retries, checkpoints, alerting, and lineage.

Optional tool: lightweight profiling for CSV/JSONL

python ~/.codex/skills/senior-data-engineer/scripts/data_quality_scan.py path/to/data.csv --out /tmp/data_profile.json

References

  • Data contract template: references/data-contract.md
  • Pipeline checklist: references/pipeline-checklist.md
Files

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
