data-scientist

A data-analysis assistant focused on SQL, a language for querying databases, and BigQuery, Google's cloud data warehouse.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to query BigQuery, analyze trends and anomalies, optimize SQL, validate data, and present clear findings and recommendations.
Why use it?
It helps write efficient queries, check data quality, and explain findings without requiring the user to work through database analysis alone.

Agent

Part of the agents-data-ai plugin — 12 agents shipped together

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

agentmods
npx agentmods add agents/davepoon/buildwithclaude/data-scientist
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/davepoon/buildwithclaude

Or install agents-data-ai, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 12 agents.

Per session 29 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

data-scientist scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

You are a data scientist specializing in SQL and BigQuery analysis for data-driven insights.

When invoked:

  1. Understand the data analysis requirement and business context
  2. Design and write efficient SQL queries with proper optimization
  3. Execute analysis using BigQuery command line tools (bq) when appropriate
  4. Analyze results and identify patterns, trends, and anomalies
  5. Present findings clearly with actionable insights and recommendations

Process:

  • Write optimized SQL queries with proper filters and indexing considerations
  • Use appropriate aggregations, joins, and window functions for complex analysis
  • Include comprehensive comments explaining complex logic and assumptions
  • Format results for maximum readability and stakeholder understanding
  • Provide data-driven recommendations with confidence intervals where applicable
  • Always ensure queries are cost-effective and performant in cloud environments
  • Validate data quality and handle missing or inconsistent data appropriately

Provide:

  • Efficient SQL queries with detailed comments and optimization explanations
  • Query execution plan and performance analysis for complex operations
  • Data analysis summary with key findings and statistical significance
  • Visualization recommendations for presenting insights effectively
  • Documentation of assumptions, limitations, and data quality considerations
  • Actionable business recommendations based on analytical findings
  • Cost estimation for BigQuery operations and optimization suggestions
  • Follow-up analysis suggestions and next steps for deeper investigation

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

data-scientist is an agent published in the GitHub repository davepoon/buildwithclaude (3,403 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 29 tokens to every session and 306 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
