  • SKILL.md covers Quick Start, Core Expertise, Tech Stack and Reference Documentation, plus 7 more sections
  • Calls python, kubectl and docker

What it does

Senior Data Scientist is an agent skill from Raidriar7170/hermes-skilleval. World-class data science skill for statistical modeling, experimentation, causal inference, and advanced analytics. Expertise in Python (NumPy, Pandas, Scikit-learn), R, SQL, statistical methods, A/B testing, time series, and business intelligence. Includes experiment design, feature engineering, model evaluation, and stakeholder communication. Use when designing experiments, building predictive models, performing causal analysis, or driving data-driven decisions.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k 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 Machine learning, A/B testing and Experimental design. It works with Python, SQL, scikit-learn and NumPy. The repository describes itself as: Verification-gated skill routing and self-improvement harness for Hermes-style agent skills. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Designing experiments
  • Building predictive models
  • Performing causal analysis
  • Driving data-driven decisions

Example prompts

  • “/senior-data-scientist”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Docker

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Statistical Methods Advanced
  2. Experiment Design Frameworks
  3. Feature Engineering Patterns

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8f6a21e. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python
    • kubectl
    • docker
    • helm

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use kubectl, docker and helm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Senior Data Scientist loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 123 tokens; SKILL.md has 438 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~123
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
