What it does

Data Throughput Accelerator is an agent skill from affaan-m/ECC. Diagnose and accelerate large data movement — ingestion, backfill, export, ETL, warehouse loading, manifest catch-up, and table synchronization — by isolating the true bottleneck, benchmarking variants, and codifying the fastest path with a hard accounting block proving rows and timestamps cohere. Use when a pipeline or backfill is too slow and must get faster without losing data correctness.

Its SKILL.md is about 710 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Accounting and bookkeeping and Data pipelines and ETL. The repository describes itself as: The agent harness performance optimization system. Skills, instincts, memory, security, and research-first development for Claude Code, Codex, Opencode, Cursor and beyond. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Backfill is too slow and must get faster without losing data correctness
  • Tasks that involve Accounting and bookkeeping
  • Tasks that involve Data pipelines and ETL

Example prompts

  • “/data-throughput-accelerator”

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Read the current source, target, and manifest contracts.
  2. Measure backlog: external files, manifest rows, raw rows, derived rows,
  3. Run a safe catch-up or sample benchmark.
  4. Compare variants: batch size, worker count, warehouse SQL, file grouping,
  5. Promote only the fastest path that keeps counts and timestamps coherent.
  6. Codify the path as a CLI, scheduled job, workflow, or runbook.
  7. Rerun final accounting after the codified path executes.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ef648e0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Data Throughput Accelerator loads about 707 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 106 tokens; SKILL.md has 289 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~106
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~707

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Data Throughput Accelerator

Use this skill when the bottleneck is moving, transforming, or saving lots of data. The goal is not just speed. The goal is faster correct data landing in the right place with proof.

First Distinction

Separate these before optimizing:

  • source extraction speed;
  • network transfer speed;
  • warehouse/load speed;
  • transform speed;
  • serving-table freshness;
  • live tail growth while the job runs.

A pipeline can be "fast" and still appear behind if new data arrives faster than the final catch-up window.

Fast Path Heuristics

  • Move compute to where the data already is.
  • Prefer warehouse-native scans, joins, and appends for large landed files.
  • Use manifests or checkpoints so completed files/partitions are skipped.
  • Use partitioning and clustering that match the read and append pattern.
  • Batch small files, requests, and writes.
  • Make writes idempotent through unique keys, manifests, or replaceable staging.
  • Keep raw, derived, and serving tables separately accountable.

Workflow

  1. Read the current source, target, and manifest contracts.
  2. Measure backlog: external files, manifest rows, raw rows, derived rows, min/max timestamps, and unprocessed counts.
  3. Run a safe catch-up or sample benchmark.
  4. Compare variants: batch size, worker count, warehouse SQL, file grouping, staging shape, and manifest update method.
  5. Promote only the fastest path that keeps counts and timestamps coherent.
  6. Codify the path as a CLI, scheduled job, workflow, or runbook.
  7. Rerun final accounting after the codified path executes.

Accounting Output

Use a hard accounting block:

text
Data throughput result:
- Source files discovered: 294
- Files processed this run: 294
- Raw rows added: 9,683,598
- Derived rows added: 8,917,585
- Remaining tail: 24 files at readback time
- Runtime: 38.7s
- Correctness gate: manifest counts and table max timestamps match

Guardrails

  • Do not delete raw data to make a metric look better.
  • Do not skip failed files silently.
  • Do not mix historical backfill status with live-tail freshness.
  • Do not call a pipeline complete until the target tables and manifest agree.
  • For finance, healthcare, regulated, or customer-impacting data, preserve replay evidence and approval gates.
