At a glance

Provides comprehensive guidelines for handling numeric data in code, including data type selection, magic number avoidance, type conversions, and boundary checks.

  • Works in 4 steps: Data Type Selection and Declaration → Literals and Magic Number Handling → Numeric Operations and Conversions → …
  • Reviewing code that involves numeric variables
  • SKILL.md covers When to Use, Core Procedures, Key Considerations and Common Pitfalls to Avoid
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Numeric Data Processing Standards is an agent skill from kitchen-engineer42/pdf2skills. Provides comprehensive guidelines for handling numeric data in code, including data type selection, magic number avoidance, type conversions, and boundary checks. Use this skill when writing or reviewing code that involves numeric variables, constants, calculations, or comparisons to prevent type errors, overflow, and runtime exceptions.

Its SKILL.md is about 580 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 Development. The repository describes itself as: Convert a book into skills directly callable to Claude Code.

When your agent uses it

  • Reviewing code that involves numeric variables
  • Comparisons to prevent type errors
  • Runtime exceptions

Example prompts

  • “Use the numeric-data-processing-standards skill to provide comprehensive guidelines for handling numeric data in code, including data type…”
  • “/numeric-data-processing-standards”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Data Type Selection and Declaration
  2. Literals and Magic Number Handling
  3. Numeric Operations and Conversions
  4. Error Prevention and Boundary Checks

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0d70065. 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.

    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

Numeric Data Processing Standards loads about 576 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 93 tokens; SKILL.md has 227 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~93
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~576

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 227 words (~576 tokens).
