DataWorks Metadata

Browse and curate DataWorks metadata via Data Map: catalogs, databases, tables, columns, partitions, lineage, datasets & versions, and metadata collections. Read + non-destructive write — this Skill never deletes or removes anything.

Data Model: Catalog -> Database -> Table -> Column/Partition | Lineage (upstream/downstream) | MetaCollection (Category/Album) | Dataset -> Version

Prerequisites

Aliyun CLI >= 3.3.3 required — Run aliyun version to verify the version is >= 3.3.3. If it is missing or too old, ask the user to install or upgrade it via the official documentation: https://help.aliyun.com/document_detail/121541.html (or see references/cli-installation-guide.md).

[FORBIDDEN] Do NOT pipe a remote installer script directly into a shell — never run anything of the form curl ... | bash / curl ... | sh / wget ... | bash. Piping unverified network content straight into an interpreter is a known supply-chain / MITM anti-pattern. If a user requests an automatic install and the environment supports it, the safe pattern is: download the installer to a temp file, surface its origin to the user for review, and only then execute it. Otherwise, defer to the official package manager / installer URL above.

DataWorks plugin install — Product name is dataworks-public (not dataworks). Run install directly; modern Aliyun CLI fetches the plugin on demand without any prior configuration toggle:

aliyun plugin install --names dataworks-public

Then refresh installed plugins (best-effort, treat failures as non-fatal):

aliyun plugin update
