What it does

Brightdata Reference Architecture is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Create a governed Bright Data collection architecture with separate control, collection, quarantine, validation, and delivery trust zones. Use when designing or reviewing a production topology. Trigger with: "architect a Bright Data system", "draw Bright Data trust boundaries", "review collection architecture".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/official-docs.md`). Compatibility notes: Requires an approved public-data use case, named system owners, and current Bright Data product documentation

It works with Bright Data. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Reviewing a production topology
  • With: architect a Bright Data system
  • Draw Bright Data trust boundaries
  • Review collection architecture

Example prompts

  • “architect a Bright Data system”
  • “draw Bright Data trust boundaries”
  • “review collection architecture”
  • “/brightdata-reference-architecture”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires an approved public-data use case, named system owners, and current Bright Data product documentation
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Grep, Write, Edit

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Discover the existing planes
  2. Define the topology
  3. Apply cross-cutting controls
  4. Challenge the design

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Grep
    • Write
    • Edit

    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

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • docs.brightdata.com

    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.

  • Compatibility

    Requires an approved public-data use case, named system owners, and current Bright Data product documentation

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Brightdata Reference Architecture loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 87 tokens; SKILL.md has 358 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~87
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.3k

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.

Bright Data Governed Collection Architecture

Overview

Design collection as a policy-governed data pipeline, not a direct application call. Separate human approval and configuration from collection workers, then quarantine and validate all results before any trusted consumer or external destination receives them.

Prerequisites

  • Approved purpose, targets, fields, products, retention, recipients, and owners
  • Current proxy, Browser API, scraper, snapshot, and delivery requirements
  • Platform identity, queue, storage, policy, and observability capabilities

Instructions

Step 1: Discover the existing planes

Read design and runtime files and Grep for Bright Data credentials, zones, API endpoints, browser sessions, queues, snapshot storage, and downstream destinations. Mark every trust transition and uncontrolled shortcut.

Step 2: Define the topology

Write or Edit an architecture with these responsibilities:

text
Approval + workload registry -> admission controller -> bounded collection workers
                                                   -> quarantine storage
Quarantine -> schema/policy validation -> approved internal consumer
                                    \-> approved snapshot delivery destination
Telemetry <- redacted events, error classes, usage units, and decision receipts

Keep proxy and Browser API credentials in worker-specific secret bindings and REST API keys in authorized control-plane identities.

Step 3: Apply cross-cutting controls

Specify target and destination allowlists, least privilege, environment isolation, job and byte ceilings, backpressure, idempotency, schema validation, retention, deletion, redaction, audit evidence, and independent emergency stop.

Step 4: Challenge the design

Test policy denial, revoked credentials, 429, provider 5xx, browser timeout, snapshot failure or expiry, schema drift, duplicate delivery, storage exhaustion, and downstream outage. Require an owner and recovery decision for each path.

Tool Discipline

Use Read and Grep for topology discovery and evidence gathering. Use Write and Edit for diagrams, threat models, contracts, tests, and architecture decisions. This skill does not provision Bright Data resources or initiate collection.

Output

  • Control-plane and data-plane topology with trust boundaries
  • Responsibility, secret, data, and destination matrix
  • Failure analysis, rollback path, and decision record

Examples

An admission controller accepts only signed workload manifests. Product-specific workers emit raw results to quarantine, validators release an approved schema, and delivery resolves only named destinations while redacted telemetry preserves an audit trail.

Error Handling
