What it does

Data Transform is an agent skill from Microck/ordinary-claude-skills. Transform, clean, reshape, and preprocess data using pandas and numpy. Works with ANY LLM provider (GPT, Gemini, Claude, etc.).

Its SKILL.md is about 4.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `metadata.json`).

It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Data cleaning and DataFrames. It works with NumPy and pandas. The repository describes itself as: An unappealing collection of Claude Skills and resources.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Data cleaning
  • Tasks that involve DataFrames

Example prompts

  • “/data-transform”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Import Required Libraries
  2. Data Cleaning
  3. Normalization and Scaling
  4. Data Reshaping
  5. Filtering and Subsetting
  6. Merging and Joining Datasets

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1056d29. 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).

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • pandas.pydata.org
    • scikit-learn.org

    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 Transform loads about 4.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 36 tokens; SKILL.md has 425 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~36
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.3k

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 425 words (~4,251 tokens).

“This skill enables you to perform comprehensive data transformations including cleaning, normalization, reshaping, filtering, and feature engineering. Unlike cloud-hosted solutions, this skill uses standard Python data manipulation libraries (pandas, numpy, sklearn) and executes locally in your environment, making it compatible…”
