data-pipeline-spec
Design an ETL/ELT data pipeline specification. Use when asked to design a data pipeline, spec an ETL or ELT process, document a data ingestion workflow, or plan a data integration. Produces a complete pipeline spec with sources, transforms, destinations, SLAs, error handling, and data quality rules.

# Data Pipeline Spec Skill
This skill produces a complete data pipeline specification covering sources, transformations, destinations, scheduling, SLAs, error handling, data quality checks, and monitoring requirements. Output is ready for engineering handoff or architecture review.
## Required Inputs
Work from what is given. If any of these is missing, still produce the complete output: fill each gap with a reasonable assumption marked *(assumed, confirm)* and list those assumptions at the end. Ask a question first only when the core subject itself is missing (there is nothing to write about).
- **Pipeline purpose** — what business question or workflow does this pipeline serve?
- **Source systems** — where does data come from? (databases, APIs, files, event streams)
- **Destination** — where does data land? (data warehouse, data lake, downstream DB, reporting tool)
- **Transformation type** — ETL (transform before loading) or ELT (load raw, transform in warehouse)?
- **Frequency / SLA** — how often must data be fresh? (real-time / hourly / daily / weekly)
- **Volume estimate** — approximate rows/events per run
- **Data quality requirements** — completeness, deduplication, freshness, schema enforcement
