What it does
The pack of 16 skills covers the data engineer work beyond writing code. For a new source there are `profile`, `contract` in the Open Data Contract Standard and `metadata`. When something breaks, `incident` (from error to root cause, fix options and email drafts), `quality` and `reconcile` help. Before a change come `impact`, `test-data` and `pr-review`, and for the big picture `toolkit`, `big-review` and `cost-review`. The rest prepare material for data consumers and project growth: `data-product`, `docs`, `knowledge-refresh` and `migration` with migration waves. Most skills end in a web page you can read and share. Seven of them are shown in a video on the Data With Baraa channel.
Who it is for. Data engineers on Claude Code who need to investigate a failure fast, assess the impact of a change or document tables.
Good fit when
- A nightly pipeline run failed and you need a root-cause investigation with fix options.
- A new data source arrived and you need its profile and contract before starting work.
- Before changing a column you need to know what depends on it.
- Two figures should agree but diverge and you need the point of divergence.
Not a fit when
- You need a tool tied to a specific stack such as dbt, while this pack is general.
- You have no Claude subscription or Console account.
- The fictional company example pages would be mistaken for a real report.
Example request
Investigate the failed run of 2026-08-19: find the root cause, outline fix options and draft emails to stakeholders.Limitations
You need Claude Code with a Pro, Max, Team or Enterprise plan or a Claude Console account. The author calls the pack a first draft and promises expansions. Read each skill before use, because each states what it reads, what it writes and what it never does. There is no plugin auto-update, so get new versions through `/plugin` or by copying again. The example pages describe a fictional company with fictional data.
How to disable. Run `/plugin uninstall data-engineering@data-with-baraa` or delete the copied folders from the project `.claude/skills`. Pages already created stay on disk.
FAQ
How do I install the skills without the plugin?
Clone the repository and copy the folders from `skills/` into the `.claude/skills` of your project.
How do I call a skill after installing?
Type the skill and its input: `/profile data/landing/purchasing` or `/incident 2026-08-19`. From the plugin the command is `/data-engineering:profile`.
What does the incident skill do?
It takes a failed run from the error to the root cause and delivers fix options, email drafts and a log entry.
Which seven skills are in the video?
profile, metadata, incident, toolkit, data-product, pr-review and big-review. In the video incident is called `/incidents`.
What do I get as output?
Most skills write a readable page: a source profile, a failure root cause, a quality verdict, an impact graph or a project architecture.

README in short
The skills are grouped by situation: new data, breakage, before a change, the big picture, data consumers and project growth. The author builds them around output pages you can show a team.
