AI Data Engineering (RAG & Feature Store Pipelines)
A production playbook for AI data infrastructure: RAG pipelines, embeddings, feature stores, and workflow orchestration.
Data & AnalyticsAdvanced★ 509⑂ 73AI score 9/10Last updated: Dec 11, 2025
What it does
- Frames every project around a 5-stage RAG architecture: ingestion → indexing → retrieval → generation → evaluation.
- Gives concrete chunking defaults (512 tokens, 50–100 overlap) plus code for code-aware and semantic splitting.
- Provides an embedding model decision guide (voyage-3 for production, text-embedding-3-small for dev) with ready-to-paste init code.
- Documents the four RAGAS metrics with pass thresholds and a runnable evaluation script.
- Covers Feast feature stores, Dagster/Prefect/Airflow/dbt orchestration, LakeFS data versioning, and FastAPI streaming endpoints.
Who it's for
- Backend/ML engineers shipping document Q&A or semantic search to production.
- Teams whose RAG already works but retrieves badly and needs chunking/embedding/re-ranking tuning.
- Data engineers who want embedding jobs modeled as orchestrated assets with lineage.
- Intermediate-to-advanced Python developers already inside the LangChain ecosystem.
Example uses
- "Build a RAG chatbot over 500 PDF manuals" → sets up a Qdrant collection, 512-token chunks, voyage-3 embeddings, and a streaming endpoint.
- "My RAG hallucinates — diagnose it" → measures Faithfulness and Context Precision with RAGAS and tunes chunk size and k against the 0.8/0.6 thresholds.
- "Refresh embeddings nightly" → generates a Dagster pipeline with raw_documents → chunked_documents → embedded_documents assets.

Try it now, no install
Paste this into Claude to use the skill without installing anything.
Read the instructions in this file and follow them to help me: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ancoleman/ai-design-components/HEAD/skills/ai-data-engineering/SKILL.md What I want: (describe your task here)
If Claude can't open the link, open it yourself and paste the contents instead.
↓ If it works for you, download the ZIP below and install it. Then it runs on its own — no pasting each time.
Install in the Claude app (no terminal)
- Download the ZIP with the button below.
- In Claude, open Settings → Capabilities and turn on 'Code execution and file creation'. (one time)
- Go to Customize → Skills → + → 'Upload a skill' and upload the ZIP.
Install in Claude Code
Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code
Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart. Copy the skills/ai-data-engineering folder from the GitHub repo ancoleman/ai-design-components into my ~/.claude/skills/ai-data-engineering/. When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.
Install with a command instead
git clone https://github.com/ancoleman/ai-design-components.git /tmp/ai-design-components && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r /tmp/ai-design-components/skills/ai-data-engineering ~/.claude/skills/⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.
- Open a terminal (Terminal on macOS, Git Bash or WSL on Windows).
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/ancoleman/ai-design-components.git - Create the skills directory if it doesn't exist:
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills - Copy just this skill:
cp -r ai-design-components/skills/ai-data-engineering ~/.claude/skills/ - Install the Python dependencies (a virtualenv is recommended):
pip install langchain langchain-openai langchain-voyageai langchain-qdrant qdrant-client ragas - Export your API keys:
export OPENAI_API_KEY=...andexport VOYAGE_API_KEY=... - Restart Claude Code and ask something like "help me build a RAG pipeline" — the skill should trigger automatically.
