curate
Use when the user wants to create, update, or manage data products, publish or unpublish data products to a marketplace, manage marketplaces, enrich catalog metadata, add descriptions to tables or columns, set tags, set custom field values, check data product standards, manage product versions, or mark a version as ready. Also use for: product spec, product schema, delivery systems, record sets, marketplace badges, minimum standards, set up a new data product, define a product, annotate tables, enrich metadata. Use this skill any time the user mentions data products in a creation or management context, or wants to add/edit metadata on catalog objects. Not for querying data products — use ask. Not for browsing catalog — use explore. Not for creating data source connections — use configure.
