dataops-and-rag-architectures

dataops-and-rag-architectures is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from vaquarkhan/platform-engineering-agent-skills. It costs 58 tokens per session (574 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of practices for building reliable data pipelines and retrieval-augmented generation systems, where an AI retrieves source information before answering. It uses versioned data branches, validation checks, structured storage, and vector search as a fallback.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design data CI/CD, validate datasets with pre-commit checks, create isolated development and test environments, and build RAG ingestion pipelines with traceable structured data.
Why use it?
It helps catch invalid data before it is committed, isolate test data without copying everything, and reduce unreliable or contaminated retrieval results.

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

dataops-and-rag-architectures 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.

DataOps & RAG Architectures

Core Competencies & Directives

Implement CI/CD for data pipelines utilizing lakeFS concepts. Write Python code that utilizes zero-clone branching for isolated dev/test data environments and automated hooks for pre-commit data validation.

When designing Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines, favor deterministic ingestion and structured storage as the foundational layer, using vector databases strictly as a fuzzy recall fallback rather than a pure vector search approach.

When to Use

  • designing lakeFS-style branch/merge workflows for datasets
  • writing pre-commit data validation hooks
  • building RAG ingestion with structured primary storage
  • preventing context poisoning in agent retrieval layers
  • isolating dev/test data environments without full copies

Workflow

  1. Branch isolation — model environments as lakeFS branches (main, dev/{feature}, test/{run}).
  2. Pre-commit hooks — schema, volume, and contract checks before branch commit (see hooks/data-validation-guard.sh).
  3. Deterministic ingestion — normalize to structured tables/documents with stable IDs and provenance.
  4. Vector fallback — index embeddings only for fuzzy recall; primary answers come from structured lookup.
  5. Validatereferences/rag-deterministic-ingestion-checklist.md.

RAG Layer Model

Structured store (source of truth)
    ↓ deterministic lookup by ID / key / filter
Vector index (fuzzy recall fallback)
    ↓ rerank + provenance attach
Agent context (signed, TTL-bound)

Coding Constraints

  • When writing Python, include comprehensive docstrings, static typing, and defensive error handling.
  • Never output legacy, manual deployment scripts; everything must be "as code".
  • Ensure multi-tenant data isolation with RBAC/ABAC on branches and buckets.

Anti-Patterns

  • pure vector search with no structured canonical store
  • shared dev/test branches without isolation
  • ingestion without provenance metadata
  • skipping pre-commit validation "for small datasets"

dataops-and-rag-architectures is a skill published in the GitHub repository vaquarkhan/platform-engineering-agent-skills (2 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 58 tokens to every session and 574 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 2026-08-31.
