What it does
Methodology Explainer is an agent skill from nimrodfisher/data-analytics-skills. Explain analysis methodology to diverse audiences. Use when documenting 'how we did this' sections, building trust through transparency, or teaching analytical approaches to stakeholders.
Its SKILL.md is about 490 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including reference files and assets (for example `assets/methodology_slide_template.md`, `assets/methodology_writeup_template.md` and `references/audience_depth_guide.md`).
It sits in Writing & Content, covering Internal communications. 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
- Documenting how we did this sections
- Building trust through transparency
- Teaching analytical approaches to stakeholders

- “how we did this”

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
Methodology Explainer loads about 487 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 52 tokens; SKILL.md has 204 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

- methodology-explainer
- description
- Explain analysis methodology to diverse audiences. Use when documenting 'how we did this' sections, building trust through transparency, or teaching analytical approaches to stakeholders.
When to use
Any time you deliver findings that require the audience to trust the method — A/B tests, attribution models, forecasts, statistical analyses, or anything where "how did you get that?" is a likely question. Write the methodology section before distributing results, not after questions arrive.
Process
- Identify the audience tier — use
references/audience_depth_guide.mdto determine the appropriate level: executive (why/what), business analyst (what/how at high level), or technical peer (full detail). - Select the explanation pattern — use
references/methodology_explanation_patterns.mdto pick the structure: narrative, layered (short summary + appendix), or Q&A format. - Draft the core explanation — cover: what question was asked, what data was used, what method was applied, what assumptions were made, and what the key limitation is.
- Apply plain-language rewrites — replace statistical terms with business equivalents per the translation table in
references/methodology_explanation_patterns.md. - Add a limitations paragraph — every methodology explanation must include at least one honest limitation and what it means for the conclusions.
- Produce deliverables — write-up using
assets/methodology_writeup_template.md; if the methodology will be presented, useassets/methodology_slide_template.md.
Inputs the skill needs
- Description of the analytical method used (technique, data, steps)
- Audience type (executive / business / technical)
- Any assumptions or known limitations
Output
- Plain-language methodology write-up
- Limitations section
