From the source SKILL.md

Use this skill when designing or evaluating a Data Cloud implementation architecture. Data Cloud is a real-time data platform built on a lakehouse model — it ingests raw data, cleanses it, harmonizes it to a canonical data model, and resolves identities across sources to produce a Unified Individual (golden profile). This skill covers the four-layer data flow, identity resolution design, activation target configuration, and segmentation strategy. It does not cover how to configure individual data streams or calculated insight formulas.

What this skill does

Data Cloud Architecture is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the architecture sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/data-cloud-architecture/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
