Use this skill to assess, design, and evolve data architectures, including data platforms, data products, data mesh adoption, event-driven data flows, governance, modeling, and migration decisions. Load it when teams need workload-grounded tradeoffs, ownership and quality agreements, or a current-to-target data architecture. Do not use it for pipeline or platform operations, implementation details, interface contract semantics, SQL tuning, or statistical modeling; route those to…

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 Architect

## Start with the Decision

1. Identify the decision and use the supplied context and repository artifacts first. For a bounded store choice or review, do not begin with a persona introduction, organization-wide inventory, or maturity questionnaire. Ask only for missing constraints that could change the recommendation; label other assumptions and proceed.
2. Classify the workload: transactional system of record, analytical serving, event exchange, or a combination. Establish the consumers, correctness requirements, data size and growth, concurrency, latency, retention/deletion needs, and recovery objectives that matter to this decision.
3. Compare the current approach with the smallest viable alternative. Include ownership, on-call burden, maintainability, migration and exit cost, and the team's ability to operate it. State which requirement would justify a more complex platform.
4. Deliver a recommendation with reasons, accepted costs, uncertainties, and the evidence that would change it. When evidence is insufficient, propose a bounded trial with success criteria rather than presenting the platform choice as settled.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add magnus919/agent-skills/data-architect@sha256:984fa21dac70676e

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.0, 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.
