How to use the Soda CLI for data quality management — authentication, datasources, datasets, contracts, monitors, results, secrets, permissions, and CI/CD integration.

  • Working with Soda
  • SKILL.md covers Important: always use --output…, Quick Reference — What Works, Exit Codes and Authentication, plus 5 more sections
  • Needs DB_PASSWORD and SODA_API_KEY_ID
  • The sodacli command

What it does

Soda CLI is an agent skill from Kilo-Org/kilo-marketplace. How to use the Soda CLI for data quality management — authentication, datasources, datasets, contracts, monitors, results, secrets, permissions, and CI/CD integration. Use when working with Soda, data quality, or the sodacli command.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `command-reference.md`).

It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Data cleaning, Authentication and CI/CD. The repository describes itself as: Kilo Marketplace - A curated collection of Skills, MCP Servers, and Modes for enhancing AI agent capabilities across the Kilo ecosystem—including Kilo Code (VS Code extension)…

When your agent uses it

  • Working with Soda
  • The sodacli command

Example prompts

  • “/soda-cli”

Requirements

  • A credential in SODA_API_KEY_SECRET
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Bash(sodacli *), Bash(cat *), Glob, Grep

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ff51758. 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
    • Bash(sodacli *)
    • Bash(cat *)
    • Glob
    • Grep

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash and yaml).

    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.soda.io

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

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • DB_PASSWORD
    • SODA_API_KEY_ID
    • SODA_API_KEY_SECRET

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

Context cost

Soda CLI loads about 3.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 605 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~61
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.5k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 605 words (~3,481 tokens).

“The Soda CLI (sodacli) manages data quality from the command line. All commands follow sodacli .”
