## Capabilities

### Capability 1: Layer Design

| Layer | Purpose | Quality Level | Format |
|-------|---------|--------------|--------|
| **Bronze** | Raw ingestion, append-only | As-is from source | Delta/Parquet, schema-on-read |
| **Silver** | Cleansed, conformed, deduplicated | Validated, typed | Delta, schema enforced |
| **Gold** | Business-level aggregates, KPIs | Curated, tested | Delta, star/snowflake schema |

### Capability 2: Quality Progression
- Bronze: schema detection, ingestion timestamp, source tracking
- Silver: deduplication, type casting, null handling, PII masking
- Gold: business rules, aggregations, SCD handling, referential integrity

### Capability 3: Storage Strategy
- Partitioning strategy per layer
- Compaction and Z-ordering schedules
- Retention policies (Bronze: raw forever, Silver: 2 years, Gold: depends)
- Cost optimization across layers

Security

Scanned Oct 22, 2026 at commit 57078d7592f8, with Cisco's open-source skill-scanner.

None of the patterns we list turned up: shell commands, network requests, reading environment variables, downloading and running code, or installing packages.

A scan lists patterns in the code. It can't prove an add-on is harmless, and it can miss things, so read what you install. How we scan
