datahub-skills
Agent skills for working with DataHub — plan and review connectors, search the catalog, enrich metadata, trace lineage, manage data quality, and set up connections. Works with Claude Code, Cortex Code, Cursor, Codex, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, and other Agent Skills-compatible tools.
What's in here
Catalog interaction skills
Search
Search the DataHub catalog, discover entities, and answer ad-hoc questions about your data. Supports keyword search, filtered browse, column-name search, structured property queries, and multi-step question answering.
> Find revenue tables in Snowflake
> Who owns the customer pipeline?
> /datahub-search datasets tagged PII
Enrich
Add or update metadata in DataHub — descriptions, tags, glossary terms, ownership, and deprecation. Shows a before/after plan and asks for approval before making changes.
> Add a description to the orders table
> Tag these columns as PII
> /datahub-enrich set owner of revenue_daily to @jdoe
Lineage
Explore data lineage, trace upstream sources and downstream consumers, perform impact analysis, and map cross-platform data flows.
> What feeds into the revenue dashboard?
> Impact analysis for changing the orders table
> /datahub-lineage trace the customer pipeline
Quality
Manage data quality — create and run assertions (freshness, volume, SQL, field, schema), set up smart AI-inferred assertions, raise and resolve incidents, and configure notification subscriptions. Separates Open Source (diagnostic) from Cloud (full management) capabilities.
> Find datasets with failing assertions
> Create a freshness assertion on the orders table
> /datahub-quality raise an incident on the customer pipeline
> Subscribe me to assertion failures via Slack
Setup
Install the DataHub CLI, configure authentication, verify connectivity, and set up default scopes and profiles for the other interaction skills.
> Set up my DataHub connection
> /datahub-setup focus on Snowflake in the Finance domain
> Create a profile for the data-eng team
Connector development skills
Connector planning
Walks you through building a new DataHub connector in four steps: classify the source system type, research it (using a dedicated agent or inline), generate a _PLANNING.md with entity mapping and architecture, and get your sign-off before anyone writes code.
> Plan a connector for ClickHouse
> /connector-planning duckdb
Connector review
Checks connector code against the 22 standards (see below). On Claude Code it runs five agents in parallel — silent failures, test coverage, type design, simplification, comment resolution. On other platforms it does the same checks one at a time.
> Review my connector
> /connector-review postgres
> Review PR #1234
If you're on Claude Code and want the parallel review, also install pr-review-toolkit:
claude plugin install pr-review-toolkit@claude-plugins-official
Load standards
Loads all 22 connector standards into context. Run this before starting connector work so the agent actually knows what it's checking against.
> Load the DataHub standards

Installation
Quick install (any agent)
The Skills CLI detects your installed agents and sets things up:
npx skills add datahub-project/datahub-skills
Works with most agents including Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, Cline, and Roo Code.
Platform-specific
Claude Code
# Option A: Plugin install (gets you hooks, slash commands, multi-agent dispatch)
claude plugin install datahub-skills
# Also install pr-review-toolkit for multi-agent reviews:
claude plugin install pr-review-toolkit@claude-plugins-official
# Option B: Skills CLI (project-level, installs to .claude/skills/)
npx skills add datahub-project/datahub-skills -a claude-code
Then:
> Search for revenue tables in Snowflake
> /datahub-search who owns the customer pipeline?
> /datahub-enrich add description to orders table
> /datahub-lineage what feeds into the revenue dashboard?
> /datahub-quality find datasets with failing assertions
> /datahub-setup verify my connection
> /connector-review snowflake
> /connector-planning duckdb
Cursor
npx skills add datahub-project/datahub-skills -a cursor
# Installs to .agents/skills/
Cursor picks up skills from .agents/skills/ automatically:
> Search DataHub for customer tables
> Review my DataHub connector
> Plan a connector for ClickHouse
