What it does

Analytics Data Analysis is an agent skill from Mindrally/skills. Best practices for analytics, data analysis, and visualization using Python, pandas, matplotlib, seaborn, and Jupyter notebooks. Use when performing exploratory data analysis, building data pipelines, creating statistical visualizations, writing Jupyter notebooks, cleaning and transforming datasets, or implementing analytics dashboards.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k 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 Data analysis, Data visualization and DataFrames. It works with pandas, Matplotlib, Seaborn and Python. The repository describes itself as: 255+ Claude Code skills converted from Cursor rules. Expert coding guidelines for every major framework and language. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Performing exploratory data analysis
  • Building data pipelines
  • Creating statistical visualizations
  • Writing Jupyter notebooks

Example prompts

  • “/analytics-data-analysis”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Load and inspect — Read data with pd.read_csv() or appropriate loader, check .shape, .dtypes, .describe(), and .isnull().sum()
  2. Clean and transform — Handle missing values, fix dtypes, rename columns, filter outliers using vectorized pandas operations
  3. Explore relationships — Use .groupby(), .corr(), and cross-tabulations to identify patterns
  4. Visualize findings — Create targeted plots with matplotlib/seaborn; label axes, add titles, use colorblind-friendly palettes
  5. Validate results — Run statistical tests, report confidence intervals, verify assumptions
  6. Document and share — Structure notebook with markdown sections, clear outputs before sharing, pin dependencies

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9718410. 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

    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

Analytics Data Analysis loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 91 tokens; SKILL.md has 615 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~91
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

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.

Analytics and Data Analysis

Guidelines for data analysis, visualization, and Jupyter-based workflows using pandas, matplotlib, seaborn, and numpy. Prioritize readability, reproducibility, and vectorized operations.

Workflow: Exploratory Data Analysis Pipeline

  1. Load and inspect — Read data with pd.read_csv() or appropriate loader, check .shape, .dtypes, .describe(), and .isnull().sum()
  2. Clean and transform — Handle missing values, fix dtypes, rename columns, filter outliers using vectorized pandas operations
  3. Explore relationships — Use .groupby(), .corr(), and cross-tabulations to identify patterns
  4. Visualize findings — Create targeted plots with matplotlib/seaborn; label axes, add titles, use colorblind-friendly palettes
  5. Validate results — Run statistical tests, report confidence intervals, verify assumptions
  6. Document and share — Structure notebook with markdown sections, clear outputs before sharing, pin dependencies

Key Principles

  • Write concise, technical code with accurate Python examples
  • Emphasize readability and reproducibility in data analysis workflows
  • Use functional programming patterns; minimize class usage
  • Leverage vectorized operations over explicit loops for performance
  • Use descriptive variable naming conventions (e.g., is_valid, has_data, total_count)
  • Adhere to PEP 8 style guidelines

Quick Start Example

python
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns

# Load and inspect
df = pd.read_csv("data.csv", parse_dates=["timestamp"])
print(f"Shape: {df.shape}, Missing: {df.isnull().sum().sum()}")

# Clean: drop rows missing target, fill numeric gaps with median
df = (
    df.dropna(subset=["revenue"])
    .assign(category=lambda x: x["category"].astype("category"))
    .fillna(df.select_dtypes("number").median())
)

# Analyze: revenue by category
summary = df.groupby("category")["revenue"].agg(["mean", "median", "std"])

# Visualize
fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(10, 6))
sns.boxplot(data=df, x="category", y="revenue", palette="colorblind", ax=ax)
ax.set_title("Revenue Distribution by Category")
ax.set_ylabel("Revenue ($)")
plt.tight_layout()
plt.savefig("revenue_by_category.png", dpi=150)
plt.show()

Data Analysis with Pandas

Data Manipulation Best Practices
  • Use pandas for all data manipulation and analysis tasks
  • Apply method chaining for clean, readable transformations
  • Utilize loc and iloc for explicit data selection
  • Employ groupby for efficient data aggregation
  • Use merge and join appropriately for combining datasets
Performance Optimization
  • Use vectorized operations instead of loops
  • Utilize efficient data structures like categorical data types for low-cardinality string columns
  • Consider dask for larger-than-memory datasets
  • Profile code to identify and optimize bottlenecks
  • Use appropriate dtypes to minimize memory usage
Data Validation
  • Validate data types and ranges to ensure data integrity
  • Use try-except blocks for error-prone operations when reading external data
  • Check for missing values and handle appropriately
  • Verify data shape and structure after transformations

Visualization Standards

Matplotlib Guidelines
  • Use matplotlib for fine-grained customization control
  • Create clear, informative plots with proper labeling
  • Always include axis labels and titles
  • Use consistent color schemes across related visualizations
  • Save figures with appropriate resolution for the intended use
Seaborn for Statistical Visualizations
  • Apply seaborn for statistical visualizations and attractive defaults
  • Leverage built-in themes for consistent styling
  • Use appropriate plot types for the data (scatter, line, bar, heatmap, etc.)
  • Consider color-blindness accessibility in color palette choices
Show full SKILL.md (253 more words)Show less
Accessibility in Visualizations
  • Use colorblind-friendly palettes
  • Include alternative text descriptions
  • Ensure sufficient contrast in visual elements
  • Provide data tables as alternatives to complex charts

Jupyter Notebook Best Practices

Notebook Structure
  • Structure notebooks with clear markdown sections
  • Begin with an overview/introduction cell
  • Document analysis steps thoroughly
  • Keep code cells focused and modular
  • End with conclusions and key findings
Execution and Reproducibility
  • Maintain meaningful cell execution order
  • Clear outputs before sharing notebooks
  • Use environment files (requirements.txt) for dependencies
  • Document data sources and access methods
  • Include date/version information
Code Organization
  • Import all libraries at the notebook beginning
  • Define helper functions in dedicated cells
  • Use magic commands appropriately (%matplotlib inline, etc.)
  • Keep individual cells concise and single-purpose
