Automated safety checks
This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.
Declares what it does: passed
SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.
SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.
No undeclared network calls: passed
Makes no network calls.
Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.
No obfuscated payloads: passed
No encoded or obfuscated payloads.
No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.
No credential access: passed
Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.
Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.
No pipe-to-shell installers: passed
No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.
No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

About this skill
What it does
This skill enables the creation of OpenLineage extractors, which are used to collect and track metadata about data processing workflows. It allows users to define how data lineage is captured from various data processing systems, ensuring transparency and traceability in data pipelines.
When to use it
- You need to implement data lineage tracking for ETL processes or data transformations.
- Your organization requires audit trails or compliance reporting on data flows.
- You are integrating with tools like Apache Airflow or other orchestration platforms that support OpenLineage.
Key capabilities
- Generate custom extractors for different data processing frameworks.
- Define metadata schemas and event types for lineage tracking.
- Integrate with existing data infrastructure to capture lineage events automatically.
Example prompts
- "Create an OpenLineage extractor for Apache Spark jobs running in our cluster."
- "Generate a Python-based OpenLineage extractor that captures schema changes during data transformations."
- "Set up an extractor to log metadata from our Flink pipelines into the OpenLineage API."
Tips & gotchas
- Ensure your environment has the necessary dependencies, such as the OpenLineage SDK and compatible data processing tools.
- Custom extractors may require domain-specific knowledge of the systems they are monitoring for accurate lineage tracking.
