Common pandas and matplotlib patterns for data analysis and visualization

  • Tasks that involve DataFrames
  • SKILL.md covers Data loading, Visualization and Reporting
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Tasks that involve Data visualization

What it does

Pandas Patterns is an agent skill from langchain-ai/docs, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Common pandas and matplotlib patterns for data analysis and visualization

Its SKILL.md is about 120 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 DataFrames, Data visualization and Data analysis. It works with pandas and Matplotlib. The repository describes itself as: Unified LangChain documentation. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve DataFrames
  • Tasks that involve Data visualization
  • Tasks that involve Data analysis

Example prompts

  • “/pandas-patterns”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit be3028f. 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

Pandas Patterns loads about 117 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 22 tokens; SKILL.md has 40 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~22
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~117

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.

Data loading

Use pd.read_csv() for CSV files. Always check df.info() and df.describe() first.

Visualization

Use matplotlib for bar charts, seaborn for statistical plots. Save figures with plt.savefig("output.png", dpi=150, bbox_inches="tight").

Reporting

Write a markdown summary to report.md alongside any generated charts.
