Use this skill to assess, design, and evolve data architectures, including data platforms, data products, data mesh adoption, event-driven data flows, governance, modeling, and migration decisions. Load it when teams need workload-grounded tradeoffs, ownership and quality agreements, or a current-to-target data architecture. Do not use it for pipeline or platform operations, implementation details, interface contract semantics, SQL tuning, or statistical modeling; route those to data-engineering, platform-engineering, api-design-and-evolution, postgres, or data-scientist.
