What it does

Feature Engineer is an agent skill from FerroxLabs/wayland. Feature engineering covering numerical features (scaling, binning, log transforms), categorical encoding (one-hot, target, ordinal), text features (TF-IDF, embeddings), temporal features, feature selection, feature stores, and automated feature engineering. Use when the user asks about feature engineer, feature engineer best practices, or needs guidance on feature engineer implementation. Do NOT use when the user needs a different specialized skill or is asking about an unrelated technology domain.

Its SKILL.md is about 4.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Machine learning, Embeddings and MLOps. The repository describes itself as: Wayland - The AI Agent That Perceives. Reasons. Acts. Evolves. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks about feature engineer
  • Feature engineer best practices
  • Needs guidance on feature engineer implementation
  • The user needs a different specialized skill

Example prompts

  • “/feature-engineer”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4c030c7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are python and markdown).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Feature Engineer loads about 4.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 130 tokens; SKILL.md has 458 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~130
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Feature Engineer

Overview

Feature engineering transforms raw data into informative representations that improve model performance. It is often the single most impactful step in the ML pipeline. This skill covers transformations for numerical, categorical, text, and temporal data, plus feature selection techniques and feature store patterns.

Numerical Feature Transformations

Scaling
python
from sklearn.preprocessing import StandardScaler, MinMaxScaler, RobustScaler

# StandardScaler: zero mean, unit variance
# Best for: Normally distributed features, SVMs, logistic regression
scaler = StandardScaler()
X_scaled = scaler.fit_transform(X)

# MinMaxScaler: scale to [0, 1]
# Best for: Neural networks, features with bounded ranges
scaler = MinMaxScaler(feature_range=(0, 1))
X_scaled = scaler.fit_transform(X)

# RobustScaler: uses median and IQR (robust to outliers)
# Best for: Data with significant outliers
scaler = RobustScaler()
X_scaled = scaler.fit_transform(X)
Scaling Decision Guide
Does your model require scaling?
  Tree-based models (XGBoost, RF, LightGBM): NO (not needed)
  Linear models, SVMs, KNN: YES
  Neural networks: YES

Has outliers?
  YES -> RobustScaler
  NO  -> Continue

Need bounded output?
  YES -> MinMaxScaler
  NO  -> StandardScaler (default)
Log and Power Transforms
python
import numpy as np
from sklearn.preprocessing import PowerTransformer

def handle_skewed_features(df, columns, threshold=1.0):
    """Apply log transform to highly skewed features."""
    transforms = {}

    for col in columns:
        skewness = df[col].skew()

        if abs(skewness) > threshold:
            if (df[col] > 0).all():
                # Log transform for positive values
                df[f"{col}_log"] = np.log1p(df[col])
                # ... (condensed) ...
    return df, transforms

# Box-Cox (requires strictly positive data)
pt = PowerTransformer(method="box-cox")
X_transformed = pt.fit_transform(X_positive)
Binning / Discretization
python
from sklearn.preprocessing import KBinsDiscretizer

# Equal-width binning
binner = KBinsDiscretizer(n_bins=10, encode="ordinal", strategy="uniform")
X_binned = binner.fit_transform(X)

# Equal-frequency (quantile) binning
binner = KBinsDiscretizer(n_bins=10, encode="ordinal", strategy="quantile")
X_binned = binner.fit_transform(X)

# Custom bins
def custom_bin_age(age: float) -> str:
    if age < 18: return "minor"
    elif age < 30: return "young_adult"
    elif age < 50: return "middle_age"
    elif age < 65: return "senior"
    else: return "elderly"

df["age_group"] = df["age"].apply(custom_bin_age)
Interaction Features
python
from sklearn.preprocessing import PolynomialFeatures

# Polynomial interactions
poly = PolynomialFeatures(degree=2, interaction_only=True, include_bias=False)
X_interactions = poly.fit_transform(X[["feature_a", "feature_b", "feature_c"]])

# Manual domain-specific interactions
df["price_per_sqft"] = df["price"] / df["sqft"].clip(lower=1)
df["bmi"] = df["weight_kg"] / (df["height_m"] ** 2)
df["debt_to_income"] = df["total_debt"] / df["annual_income"].clip(lower=1)

Feast (Open Source Feature Store)
python
from feast import FeatureStore, Entity, Feature, FeatureView, FileSource
from feast.types import Float32, Int64
from datetime import timedelta

# Define data source
driver_stats_source = FileSource(
    path="data/driver_stats.parquet",

).to_dict()

Automated Feature Engineering

from sklearn.preprocessing import StandardScaler, OneHotEncoder, OrdinalEncoder
from sklearn.impute import SimpleImputer

def build_feature_pipeline(config: dict) -> Pipeline:
    """Build production feature engineering pipeline."""

    numeric_transformer = Pipeline([
        ("imputer", SimpleImputer(strategy="median")),
        ("scaler", StandardScaler()),
    ])

    categorical_low_card = Pipeline([
        # ... (condensed) ...

    return Pipeline([
        ("preprocessor", preprocessor),
        ("model", config["model"]),
    ])

Checklist

  • Analyze feature distributions before choosing transformations
  • Apply appropriate scaling (or skip for tree-based models)
  • Handle skewed features with log/power transforms
  • Choose categorical encoding based on cardinality and model type
  • Use target encoding with cross-validation to prevent leakage
  • Extract cyclical features (sin/cos) for periodic temporal data
  • Create domain-specific interaction features
  • Apply feature selection to reduce dimensionality
  • Use SHAP for interpretable feature importance
  • Wrap everything in sklearn Pipeline for reproducibility
  • Consider a feature store for team-wide feature sharing
  • Validate that all transformations work on unseen data

Example

Input: "Help me implement feature engineer for a medium-scale production application"

Output: A structured analysis covering current state assessment, recommended feature engineer approach with specific patterns, implementation roadmap with milestones, and risk mitigation strategies tailored to the application scale and constraints.

Edge Cases

  • Legacy system integration: When feature engineer must coexist with legacy approaches, provide a gradual migration path rather than a complete rewrite
  • Scale mismatch: When the solution complexity exceeds the project scale, recommend a simpler approach and note when to revisit
  • Team skill gaps: When the team lacks experience with the recommended approach, include learning resources and simpler alternatives
  • Conflicting requirements: When constraints conflict (e.g., performance vs. maintainability), explicitly state the trade-off and recommend based on stated priorities
