Builds a DRAFT data dictionary from a schema export, table definition, sample rows or a partial existing dictionary: one row per field with the name as stated, type as stated or observed, meaning quoted from the documentation supplied, owner, allowed values, and UNKNOWN wherever no source defines the field, plus a gap list for the data owner. Never infers a definition from a column name. Use when the user asks to "build a data dictionary for this table", "document these columns…
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 dictionary builder ## Purpose Read a schema export, table definition, sample rows or a partial dictionary with the documentation supplied, and produce one DRAFT data dictionary: one row per field (name, type as stated or observed, meaning quoted from a source, owner, allowed values, UNKNOWN where no source defines it) and a gap list for the data owner. The dictionary records what the sources say. It never infers a meaning from a column name, never declares a field the master record and never states lineage the sources do not state. ## When to use Use when the user asks to document the fields of a table, dataset, extract, form or API payload; to turn a schema export or DDL into a dictionary; to reconcile an existing dictionary against documentation; or to list fields with no definition. Do not use for profiling values or finding patterns in the data, use dataset-insight-pack instead; for metric definitions, use kpi-definition-sheet; for logging data defects, use data-quality-issue-log. ## Inputs …

How to install
mdr add kesslernity/awesome-copilot-agent-skills/data-dictionary-builder@sha256:9cb354ba76351883The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260917.f14a4fb, 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.
