What it does
CSV Insights is an agent skill from simonw/research. Summarize a CSV, compute basic stats, and produce a markdown report + a plot image.
Its SKILL.md is about 150 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including assets (for example `run.py`).
It sits in Documents & Office, covering CSV and tabular files. It works with OpenAI.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve CSV and tabular files
Example prompts
- “/csv-insights”
Requirements
- Python 3
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4f5f23e. 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 script files (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
CSV Insights loads about 154 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 24 tokens; SKILL.md has 71 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.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 71 words (~154 tokens).
