At a glance

Design the data quality checks for a table or pipeline across the standard dimensions.

  • Asked to add data quality tests
  • SKILL.md covers Required Inputs, Output Format, Quality Checks and Anti-Patterns, plus 2 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Define DQ checks

What it does

Data Quality Checks is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Design the data quality checks for a table or pipeline across the standard dimensions. Use when asked to add data quality tests, define DQ checks, catch bad data before it hits dashboards, or set up monitoring for a dataset. Produces a checks plan across completeness, validity, uniqueness, freshness, consistency, and accuracy — each with the rule, severity, and where it runs (dbt test / Great Expectations / SQL assertion).

Its SKILL.md is about 920 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 Data & Analytics, covering Data cleaning, Data pipelines and ETL and SQL. It works with dbt and SQL. The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to add data quality tests
  • Define DQ checks
  • Catch bad data before it hits dashboards
  • Set up monitoring for a dataset

Example prompts

  • “/data-quality-checks”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. 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 Quality Checks loads about 919 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 112 tokens; SKILL.md has 429 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~112
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~919

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.

description
Design the data quality checks for a table or pipeline across the standard dimensions. Use when asked to add data quality tests, define DQ checks, catch bad data before it hits dashboards, or set up monitoring for a dataset. Produces a checks plan across completeness, validity, uniqueness, freshness, consistency, and accuracy — each with the rule, severity, and where it runs (dbt test / Great Expectations / SQL assertion).

Data Quality Checks Skill

Bad data quietly poisons dashboards and models until someone notices the number is wrong. The fix is checks that fail loudly before that — across the standard DQ dimensions. This skill designs them for a specific table/pipeline: the exact rule per dimension, its severity (block vs. warn), and where it runs (dbt test, Great Expectations, or a SQL assertion), so quality is enforced, not hoped for.

Required Inputs

Ask for these only if they aren't already provided:

  • The table/pipeline and what it represents (grain, key columns).
  • The columns that matter — keys, required fields, enums, ranges, dates.
  • Freshness expectation — how current the data must be.
  • Tooling — dbt tests, Great Expectations, Soda, or raw SQL assertions.

Output Format

Data Quality Checks: [table]

Checks organised by dimension — each with the rule, severity (🔴 block the pipeline / 🟡 warn), and where it runs:

DimensionCheckRuleSeverityImplement as
Completenessrequired fields non-nullnot_null on [cols]🔴dbt test
Uniquenessgrain key uniqueunique on [key]🔴dbt test
Validityvalues in allowed set/rangeaccepted_values / range🟡GE / SQL
Freshnessdata is currentmax(loaded_at) within SLA🔴dbt source freshness
Consistencycross-field / cross-tablee.g. totals reconcile, FK exists🟡SQL assertion
Accuracymatches a source of truthreconcile vs. system-of-record🟡SQL assertion

Notes:

  • Severity discipline — only block on checks that should stop the pipeline (a duplicated grain key, stale critical data). Over-blocking trains people to ignore alerts.
  • Where to check — at ingestion (catch early) vs. in the model vs. post-build; recommend per check.
  • On failure — what happens (halt, quarantine rows, alert + continue) and who's paged.

Quality Checks

  • Covers the core dimensions (completeness, uniqueness, validity, freshness, consistency)
  • Each check has an explicit rule and a severity (block vs. warn)
  • Severity is disciplined — only truly critical checks block the pipeline
  • Freshness has a measurable SLA, not "should be recent"
  • Each check names where it runs and what happens on failure

Anti-Patterns

  • Do not block the pipeline on every check — alert fatigue makes people ignore the real failures; reserve 🔴 for critical
  • Do not only test the happy path — the grain key, nulls, and freshness are where the real breakage hides
  • Do not write checks with no failure action — a test that fails into the void changes nothing
  • Do not skip freshness — stale data that looks fine is the most dangerous kind
  • Do not check only one table in isolation — cross-table consistency (FKs, reconciliations) catches integration bugs

Based On

Data-quality practice — the six DQ dimensions, dbt tests / Great Expectations / source-freshness, severity-tiered enforcement.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "Define DQ checks."
  • "Catch bad data before it hits dashboards."
  • "Set up monitoring for a dataset."
