connect-data

connect-data is a skill for Claude Code from ai-analyst-lab/ai-analyst. It costs 242 tokens per session (1,908 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided setup wizard for connecting a new data source to an analysis system. It supports sources such as CSV files, DuckDB, and PostgreSQL, then sets up access so the data can be queried.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add a database or file-based dataset, configure a new connection type, test access, and make the connected data available for analysis.
Why use it?
Analysis cannot start until the system can reach the relevant data, and connection setup often involves several configuration and verification steps. This walks through those steps instead of only describing them.

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

connect-data 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 2d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 148 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Once a CSV folder is registered, it is SQL-queryable through ConnectionManager().query(sql): each file becomes a table named after its file stem (orders.csv -> orders), and the manifest's files: list is the table inventory. Every query is auto-logged for provenance.

Skill: Connect Data

Purpose

This is an interactive setup wizard, not a documentation generator. Guide the user through the actual connection process by executing each step, creating files, testing connectivity, and setting up the knowledge system. Do not just explain what would happen — make it happen.

When to Use

  • User says /connect-data or "connect my database" or "add a new dataset"
  • First-run welcome suggests connecting data
  • After /switch-dataset when the target dataset doesn't exist yet

Invocation

/connect-data — start the connection wizard /connect-data type=postgres — skip type selection and go directly to Step 2

Parameter Handling: If the user provides type={connection_type} (e.g., type=bigquery, type=postgres), SKIP Step 1 entirely and proceed directly to Step 2 with that connection type already selected.

Instructions

Step 1: Choose Connection Type

Skip this step if type parameter was provided in the invocation.

Present options:

  1. CSV files — "I have CSV files in a local directory"
  2. DuckDB — "I have a local DuckDB database file"
  3. PostgreSQL — "I have a PostgreSQL database"
  4. Snowflake — "I have a Snowflake warehouse"
  5. BigQuery — "I have a Google BigQuery dataset"
  6. Databricks — "I have a Databricks SQL warehouse"
  7. Redshift — "I have an Amazon Redshift cluster"
  8. SQL Server — "I have a Microsoft SQL Server / Azure SQL database"
  9. MySQL — "I have a MySQL or MariaDB database"

Step 2: Collect Connection Details

For CSV:

  • Ask: "What's the path to your CSV directory? (relative to this repo)"
  • Verify the directory exists and contains .csv files
  • List found files and ask to confirm
