What it does

Data Analysis Router is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Multi-domain data analysis router for uploaded datasets, spreadsheets, CSV/XLSX files, business metric tables, or user questions that require selecting the right business analysis framework before producing insights, charts, recommendations, or a structured report. Use when Codex needs to inspect data fields, infer the business domain, profile one or more tables, choose among ecommerce, content operation, advertising, store operation, finance, user feedback, or general analysis frameworks, and explain the…

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 15 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `README.md`, `agents/openai.yaml` and `references/advertising.md`).

It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Data analysis, Excel spreadsheets and E-commerce operations. It works with Microsoft Excel. The repository describes itself as: Comprehensive collection of Claude Code skills for academic research in economics, finance, and social sciences.

When your agent uses it

  • Codex needs to inspect data fields
  • Infer the business domain
  • Choose among ecommerce
  • Content operation

Example prompts

  • “/data-analysis-router”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Inspect the user request, attached files, filenames, sheet names, field names, and visible sample rows.
  2. If a dataset is available and profiling would help, run scripts/profile_dataset.py on all relevant .csv and .xlsx files.
  3. Read references/routing-rules.md to choose the likely domain.
  4. If one domain clearly matches, read only that domain reference plus references/report-format.md.
  5. If multiple domains plausibly match, state the ambiguity, read the relevant domain references, and combine the frameworks.
  6. If no domain is clear, read references/general-analysis.md and references/report-format.md.
  7. Produce a structured report with domain judgment, evidence, metrics, findings, chart suggestions, action recommendations, and missing data.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9a4b2db. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    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

Data Analysis Router loads about 1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 143 tokens; SKILL.md has 444 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~143
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~5.9k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 444 words (~1,040 tokens).

“Use this skill to analyze business data by first identifying the likely domain, then applying the matching framework. Prefer explicit domain reasoning over jumping straight into calculations.”
