data-mapping SKILL.md skillA
data-mapping from amey-thakur/ai-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Translate between an external service's data model and your own, handling mismatches, nulls, and enum drift explicitly. Use when integrating a service whose model differs from yours.
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
# Data mapping Two systems rarely agree on shape, naming, or what a field means. The mapping layer is where those disagreements are resolved, and doing it implicitly is how wrong data enters your system quietly. ## Method 1. **Map explicitly at the boundary.** One translation layer between their model and yours, so the rest of your code never sees their shape (see third-party-integration). 2. **Never store their identifiers as your primary keys.** Their identifier is a foreign reference, and coupling your keys to it makes provider migration nearly impossible. 3. **Handle unknown enum values without failing.** Providers add values, and a strict parser turns a routine provider change into an outage. 4. **Distinguish absent from null from empty.** These mean different things and providers use them inconsistently, so decide the mapping deliberately (see null-semantics). 5. **Validate on the way in.** Their data is untrusted input regardless of the provider's reputation (see input-validation). 6. **Record the raw payload alongside the mapped result.** When a mapping bug is found, the original is what allows reprocessing (see change-data-capture). …

How to install
mdr add amey-thakur/ai-skills/data-mapping@sha256:84be0b25ec5c7108The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260728.419e522, 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.
