What it does

Insight Synthesis is an agent skill from nimrodfisher/data-analytics-skills. Transform data findings into compelling insights. Use when converting analysis results into actionable insights, connecting findings to business impact, or preparing insights for stakeholder communication.

Its SKILL.md is about 720 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files and assets (for example `assets/insight_brief_template.md`, `references/insight_framework.md` and `references/prioritization_guide.md`).

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Internal communications and Storytelling. 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

  • Converting analysis results into actionable insights
  • Connecting findings to business impact
  • Preparing insights for stakeholder communication

Example prompts

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

Insight Synthesis loads about 718 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 56 tokens; SKILL.md has 358 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~56
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~718
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.2k

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.

Insight Synthesis

When to use

  • An analysis has produced many statistics but no clear "so what"
  • The team has findings but is struggling to prioritise which ones to act on
  • Stakeholders are asking "what does this mean for us?" rather than "what did you find?"
  • Multiple analyses need to be synthesised into a unified set of recommendations
  • Preparing an insight briefing for a team that doesn't have time to review the full analysis

Process

  1. List all findings — enumerate every statistically meaningful finding: trends, comparisons, correlations, anomalies, surprises. Write each as a factual statement. Don't interpret yet.
  2. Apply So What → Why → Now What to each finding — convert each fact into an insight by answering: So what (why does this matter to the business?), Why (what is the most likely explanation?), Now what (what specific action should follow?). See references/insight_framework.md.
  3. Quantify business impact — for each insight, estimate the financial, customer, or operational magnitude. An insight without a number is an observation. Use order-of-magnitude estimates if precise data is not available.
  4. Prioritise by impact × confidence × actionability — score each insight on these three dimensions (1–3 scale). Insights that score high on all three are the ones to lead with. Deprioritise insights that are high-impact but low-confidence until validated.
  5. Group and resolve conflicts — cluster related insights and check for contradictions. If two findings point in opposite directions, document the tension and state what additional data would resolve it.
  6. Produce the insight brief — present the top 3–5 insights in priority order, each with the finding, So What / Why / Now What, business impact, and confidence level. Use assets/insight_brief_template.md.

Inputs the skill needs

  • All analysis findings (statistics, charts, model outputs, anomalies)
  • Business context: current goals, OKRs, strategic priorities
  • Audience who will act on the insights (role and decision authority)
  • Confidence levels for the findings (based on sample size, method, data quality)
  • Known constraints on action (budget, timeline, team capacity)

Output

  • references/insight_framework.md — So What / Why / Now What pattern, insight quality rubric, prioritisation matrix
  • references/prioritization_guide.md — scoring insights by impact, confidence, and actionability; how to present trade-offs
  • assets/insight_brief_template.md — structured brief: top insights in priority order, each with impact, explanation, recommendation, and confidence level
