Authors and runs SodaCL (Soda Checks Language) checks against SQL warehouses (Snowflake, BigQuery, Postgres, Redshift, etc.) via `soda scan`, configures scan profiles in configuration.yml, and gates CI on scan exit code. Use when the user works with Soda Core / Soda Cloud or needs YAML-driven warehouse data quality.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# soda-checks ## Overview SodaCL (Soda Checks Language) is a YAML-based domain-specific language for data reliability. A typical Soda project ships two YAML files - `configuration.yml` (data source connection) and `checks.yml` (assertions) - and runs them through the `soda scan` CLI ([sodacl-overview][1], [sodacl-quickstart][2]). [1]: https://docs.soda.io/soda-v3/soda-cl-overview.md [2]: https://docs.soda.io/soda-v3/soda-cl-overview/quick-start-sodacl.md This skill covers SodaCL authoring, scan configuration, running, and CI integration. Use it when you want **YAML-only assertions on warehouse tables** without writing Python (in contrast to Great Expectations, which is Python-first) or compiling a dbt project. ## When to use - The repo has `configuration.yml` + `checks.yml` (the canonical Soda filenames per [sodacl-quickstart][2]). - The user asks about `checks for <table>:`, `missing_count`, `duplicate_count`, `freshness`, or `invalid_count` - SodaCL check types per [sodacl-overview][1]. - A pipeline needs warehouse-side data quality with no programmatic glue: SQL warehouses (Snowflake, BigQuery, Postgres, Redshift) are first-class data sources. …

How to install
mdr add testland/qa/soda-checks@sha256:d71763624ff0191eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260706.4e1409c, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
