What it does

Analysis Planning is an agent skill from nimrodfisher/data-analytics-skills. Structure analysis approach before starting work. Use when receiving new analysis requests, breaking down complex questions into steps, or planning iterative analysis workflows.

Its SKILL.md is about 480 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including reference files and assets (for example `assets/analysis_plan_template.md`, `assets/kickoff_doc_template.md` and `references/effort_estimation.md`).

It sits in Agent Workflows. 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

  • Receiving new analysis requests
  • Breaking down complex questions into steps
  • Planning iterative analysis workflows

Example prompts

  • “/analysis-planning”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Decompose the question — break the business question into sub-questions using references/scoping_framework.md; each sub-question should be…
  2. Identify data dependencies — for each sub-question, list the required tables/datasets and assess availability (confirmed / likely /…
  3. Sequence the work — order sub-questions so that each output feeds the next; identify which steps can run in parallel.
  4. Estimate effort — use references/effort_estimation.md to assign time estimates per step; sum to a total and compare against the deadline.
  5. Log risks and dependencies — use references/risks_dependencies.md to document anything that could delay or invalidate the plan (data gaps…
  6. Produce the plan — fill in assets/analysis_plan_template.md; for projects with stakeholder kickoffs use assets/kickoff_doc_template.md.

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

    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

Analysis Planning loads about 476 tokens when it runs, and up to ~3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 49 tokens; SKILL.md has 204 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~49
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~476
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~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.

description
Structure analysis approach before starting work. Use when receiving new analysis requests, breaking down complex questions into steps, or planning iterative analysis workflows.

When to use

After requirements are gathered and before any data is touched. Planning is especially important when the analysis involves multiple steps, uncertain data availability, or a tight deadline where sequencing matters. A 15-minute planning session prevents hours of wrong-direction work.

Process

  1. Decompose the question — break the business question into sub-questions using references/scoping_framework.md; each sub-question should be answerable with a single data pull or calculation.
  2. Identify data dependencies — for each sub-question, list the required tables/datasets and assess availability (confirmed / likely / unknown); flag blockers early.
  3. Sequence the work — order sub-questions so that each output feeds the next; identify which steps can run in parallel.
  4. Estimate effort — use references/effort_estimation.md to assign time estimates per step; sum to a total and compare against the deadline.
  5. Log risks and dependencies — use references/risks_dependencies.md to document anything that could delay or invalidate the plan (data gaps, external approvals, methodology uncertainty).
  6. Produce the plan — fill in assets/analysis_plan_template.md; for projects with stakeholder kickoffs use assets/kickoff_doc_template.md.

Inputs the skill needs

  • Analysis brief or requirements doc (from stakeholder-requirements-gathering skill)
  • Available data sources
  • Deadline and resource constraints

Output

  • Completed analysis plan with sequenced steps and time estimates (analysis_plan_template.md)
  • Kickoff doc for stakeholder alignment (optional, kickoff_doc_template.md)
  • Risk / dependency log
