OpenMetadata/skills

OpenMetadata Skills Plugin (v2.0.0)

Complete AI development workflow for OpenMetadata. Provides structured planning, test-driven development, 90% test coverage enforcement, code review, systematic debugging, and connector development skills.

Inspired by obra/superpowers and everything-claude-code, tailored for OpenMetadata's multi-language, schema-first architecture.

Installation

Claude Code (Plugin)

# From the OpenMetadata repo root
claude plugin install skills/

This installs all skills, agents, hooks, and commands. The plugin auto-loads the OpenMetadata workflow on session start.

Claude Code (In-Repo, Zero Setup)

If you're working in the OpenMetadata repo, .claude/settings.json provides project-level hooks automatically — no plugin install needed. The .claude/skills/ directory also provides skills directly.

Other Tools

Tool	Method
Cursor	Settings -> Rules -> Add Rule -> select skills/ directory
Codex	Add skills/ to workspace context
GitHub Copilot	Reference skills/ in workspace instructions
Windsurf	Add skills/ to rules configuration
Any	Skills follow the Agent Skills open standard

Workflow Overview

The plugin enforces a structured development workflow:

1. /planning          — Design before code (brainstorm, propose, get approval)
2. /tdd               — Write failing test, implement, refactor
3. /test-enforcement   — Verify 90% coverage, integration tests, Playwright E2E
4. /verification       — Show evidence of passing tests before claiming done
5. /code-review        — Two-stage review (spec compliance + code quality)

The openmetadata-workflow meta-skill is loaded at session start and directs Claude to use the appropriate skills for each task type.

Skills

Development Workflow Skills

Skill	Command	Purpose
OpenMetadata Workflow	(auto-loaded)	Meta-skill: routes tasks to the right workflow
Planning	/planning	Brainstorm approaches, get approval, create step-by-step plan
TDD	/tdd	RED-GREEN-REFACTOR for Java, Python, and TypeScript
Test Enforcement	/test-enforcement	Enforce 90% line coverage, integration tests, Playwright E2E
Systematic Debugging	/systematic-debugging	4-phase root cause analysis
Code Review	/code-review	Two-stage review: spec compliance then code quality
Verification	/verification	Evidence-based completion — show test output, not claims

Connector Skills

Skill	Command	Purpose
Connector Building	/scaffold-connector	Scaffold a new connector with JSON Schema, Python boilerplate, and AI context
Connector Review	/connector-review	Review connector code against golden standards with multi-agent analysis
Connector Standards	/connector-standards	Load connector development standards into agent context
Test Locally	/test-locally	Build and deploy a full local Docker stack to test your connector

Agents

Language-Specific Reviewers

Agent	Purpose
java-reviewer	Review Java code — Dropwizard, Flyway, JUnit 5, spotless, 90% coverage
python-reviewer	Review Python code — Pydantic 2.x, pytest, connector architecture, 90% coverage
frontend-reviewer	Review TypeScript/React — core components, tw: prefix, i18n, no MUI, Jest/Playwright

Connector Agents

Agent	Purpose
connector-researcher	Research source system APIs, SDKs, auth, and data models
connector-validator	Validate connector implementation against standards
comment-resolution-checker	Verify PR review comments were substantively addressed

Hooks

The plugin includes hooks (hooks/hooks.json) that fire automatically:

Hook	Event	What it does
OpenMetadata Workflow	SessionStart	Loads the meta-skill to route tasks to the right workflow
Block --no-verify	PreToolUse	Prevents skipping pre-commit hooks
Java format reminder	PostToolUse	Reminds to run mvn spotless:apply after .java edits
Schema regeneration	PostToolUse	Reminds to run make generate after JSON schema edits

Additional hooks in .claude/settings.json (in-repo, no plugin needed):

• Block MUI imports
• Remind yarn parse-schema after connection schema edits
• Warn about any type in TypeScript

Test Coverage Targets

The /test-enforcement skill enforces these targets:

Layer	Target	Tool
Java service (openmetadata-service)	90% line coverage	JaCoCo
API endpoints	100% of changed endpoints have integration tests	openmetadata-integration-tests
React components	90% line coverage	Jest
UI features	Playwright E2E for all user-facing changes	Playwright
Python ingestion	90% line coverage	pytest --cov

Architecture

OpenMetadata uses schema-first architecture. One JSON Schema definition cascades through 6 layers:

JSON Schema (single source of truth)
    ├── Python Pydantic models     (make generate)
    ├── Java models                (mvn install)
    ├── TypeScript types           (yarn parse-schema)
    ├── UI config forms            (RJSF auto-renders)
    ├── API request validation     (server uses Java models)
    └── Test fixtures              (tests import Pydantic models)

Quick Start

# 1. Install the plugin
claude plugin install skills/

# 2. Start a new feature
# Just describe what you want — the workflow skill will guide you to /planning

# 3. Implement with TDD
# /tdd "Add new endpoint for data quality scores"

# 4. Verify coverage before PR
# /test-enforcement

# 5. Review your changes
# /code-review

CI

The .github/workflows/lint-standards.yml workflow lints all standards markdown, validates JSON files, and checks symlink integrity on PRs that modify skills/.
