What data-engineer does

The skill gives Claude Code a data-engineering workflow. It starts with sources, SLAs, and data contracts, then covers architecture, storage, orchestration, ingestion, transformation, validation, and monitoring. The guidance spans batch and streaming designs.

Its listed stack includes Apache Spark, dbt, Apache Airflow, Kafka, Flink, lakehouse technologies, and data services from AWS, Azure, and GCP. It also covers warehouse modeling, lineage, governance, access control, and checks before data reaches production sinks.

The project needs access to data sources or storage systems. That limitation matters: the skill is not intended for exploratory analysis alone or for ML model work without pipelines.

What it helps with

  • design a batch or streaming data pipeline
  • plan a warehouse or lakehouse architecture
  • map ingestion, transformation, and validation stages
  • choose orchestration with Apache Airflow
  • set up data quality and lineage checks

Example prompts for the agent

  • Design a batch pipeline and define its sources, SLAs, data contracts, and validation stages.
  • Compare lakehouse options built around Apache Spark, dbt, and Apache Airflow, including data quality checks.
  • Plan Kafka and Flink stream processing with PII protection and access control.
