data-platform-ci-cd-and-release-management

data-platform-ci-cd-and-release-management is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from vaquarkhan/data-engineering-agent-skills. It costs 50 tokens per session (465 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A release guide for moving data-platform changes through development, staging, and production. It covers pipeline code, SQL models, infrastructure, contracts, orchestration settings, and published datasets.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design CI/CD checks, staged promotions, contract validation, sample or shadow runs, reconciliations, rollback or forward-fix plans, and approval points.
Why use it?
It accounts for risks that ordinary application deployments may miss, such as backfills, schema changes, and differences between environment state. Validation gates and rollback planning make releases easier to review and recover.

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-platform-ci-cd-and-release-management 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 11d 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.

What it actually says

Data Platform CI CD And Release Management

Overview

Use this skill when changes need controlled promotion across environments. It helps agents design release gates for code, contracts, infra, and datasets so teams can ship faster without losing trust.

When to Use

  • adding or changing CI pipelines for data projects
  • promoting changes from dev to staging to production
  • releasing dbt, orchestration, infra, or schema updates
  • defining rollback-aware deployment behavior

Do not treat data releases like app-only deploys. Data contracts, backfills, and environment state matter too.

Workflow

  1. Identify the release surface. Include:

    • code
    • SQL models
    • infra
    • contracts
    • orchestration config
    • published datasets
  2. Define validation gates per stage. Common gates:

    • lint or formatting
    • tests
    • contract validation
    • sample or shadow runs
    • reconciliation
  3. Separate deployment from publish where needed.

  4. Make rollback and forward-fix expectations explicit.

  5. Record release ownership and approval points for high-risk changes.

Common Rationalizations

Rationalization Reality
"If tests pass, the data release is safe." Data releases often need contract, reconciliation, and environment checks too.
"We can deploy and publish in one step." Deployment and downstream visibility should not always be coupled.
"Rollback is easy because Git exists." Rollback for data state and published outputs is often harder than code rollback.

Red Flags

  • environment promotion rules are unclear
  • releases do not separate code success from publish safety
  • rollback is mentioned but not operationally real
  • high-risk changes have no staged validation

Verification

  • Release surfaces and environment boundaries are explicit
  • Validation gates exist for the change type
  • Publish behavior is controlled where needed
  • Rollback or forward-fix expectations are documented
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.
