distribution-profiler

distribution-profiler is a skill for Claude Code from ai-analyst-lab/ai-analyst-plugin. It costs 87 tokens per session (2,294 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A statistical profile of one numeric data column. It identifies the likely shape of the data, chooses suitable summary measures and tests, and gives guidance for experiments such as A/B tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before analyzing a metric, choosing a statistical test, or planning an A/B test when you need to understand how the values are distributed.
Why use it?
It helps prevent incorrect analysis caused by assuming all numbers follow a bell-shaped pattern. The result highlights assumptions and common interpretation mistakes before testing or reporting results.

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

distribution-profiler 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 7d 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.

Skill: Distribution Profiler

Purpose

Take any numeric data column and produce a complete analytical playbook: identify the distribution, compute the right summary statistics, recommend the correct statistical tests, flag common traps, and give specific A/B testing guidance.

This skill exists because the #1 mistake in product analytics is assuming data is normal when it's not — leading to wrong tests, false positives, and misleading dashboards. The profiler catches this automatically.

When to Use

  • Before any analysis involving a numeric metric
  • When the user asks "what distribution is this?" or "what test should I use?"
  • When checking assumptions for an A/B test
  • When a user says "profile" or "understand" a metric
  • Proactively when you notice an analysis is about to use a t-test or OLS on data that hasn't been checked

Invocation

/distribution-profiler — profile a data column's distribution

Instructions

Step 0: Identify the Target

Figure out what column/metric the user wants profiled. This could be:

  • A specific column name (e.g., "total_amount from orders")
  • A derived metric (e.g., "revenue per user", "sessions per user per month")
  • A SQL query result

If unclear, ask. If the user hasn't specified, look at what they're analyzing and suggest the most relevant metric to profile.

Step 1: Extract the Data

Write and execute a Python script to extract the target column from the active dataset. Resolve the data source yourself: read .knowledge/active.yaml for the active dataset id, then that dataset's manifest.yaml for connection details (source type, file paths, schema prefix).

For connector-attached warehouses, query through the connector. For local DuckDB or CSV sources, connect directly in Python (a read-only DuckDB connection, or pandas over the CSV files).

For per-user metrics (revenue per user, sessions per user), aggregate first — the unit of analysis matters. Profile the metric at the level it will be used in the analysis (per-user, per-session, per-day, etc.).

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.

distribution-profiler is a skill published in the GitHub repository ai-analyst-lab/ai-analyst-plugin (32 stars, last pushed 11d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 87 tokens to every session and 2,294 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
