What it does

Analysis Assumptions Log is an agent skill from nimrodfisher/data-analytics-skills. Track and document analytical assumptions and decisions. Use when making analytical choices, documenting trade-offs, ensuring transparency, or creating audit trails for analytical work.

Its SKILL.md is about 580 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/assumptions_log_template.md`, `references/assumption_categories.md` and `scripts/assumptions_tracker.py`).

It sits in Data & Analytics. The repository describes itself as: A comprehensive list of Claude & Codex skills for a wide range of data analytics tasks. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Making analytical choices
  • Documenting trade-offs
  • Ensuring transparency
  • Creating audit trails for analytical work

Example prompts

  • “/analysis-assumptions-log”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9449d36. 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.

    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

Analysis Assumptions Log loads about 578 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 53 tokens; SKILL.md has 260 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~53
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~578
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.4k

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.

Analysis Assumptions Log

When to use

  • Starting an analysis with significant scope, method, or data quality choices
  • Preparing work for peer review or stakeholder sign-off
  • Returning to an old analysis and needing to understand prior decisions
  • Working in a regulated environment where auditability is required
  • Handing off an analysis to another analyst

Process

  1. Initialize the log — create a log entry for the analysis with its name, date, analyst, and the decision it informs. Use scripts/assumptions_tracker.py to initialise a structured JSON log.
  2. Enumerate data assumptions — document representativeness, completeness, how missing values are handled, and any known quality issues. For each assumption, record the rationale and confidence level (high/medium/low). See references/assumption_categories.md for the full taxonomy.
  3. Enumerate business logic assumptions — record metric definitions, time windows, inclusion/exclusion rules, and any definitions provided by stakeholders. Note alternatives considered.
  4. Enumerate statistical assumptions — record distribution assumptions, independence claims, stationarity, or model assumptions relevant to the methods used.
  5. Assess impact and flag critical assumptions — for each low-confidence assumption with high impact if wrong, create a validation plan. Run scripts/assumptions_tracker.py --report to surface the critical list.
  6. Validate and close — as validation occurs, update the log with results. Export assets/assumptions_log_template.md for peer review sign-off before delivery.

Inputs the skill needs

  • Analysis name and the decision it informs
  • Data sources, time period, and population being analysed
  • Key methodological choices made (and alternatives considered)
  • Stakeholder-provided business rule definitions
  • Any known data quality issues

Output

  • scripts/assumptions_tracker.py — CLI tool to log assumptions, flag critical ones, and export a summary
  • assets/assumptions_log_template.md — completed log for peer review and audit trail
