distribution-profiler

distribution-profiler is a skill for Claude Code from ai-analyst-lab/ai-analyst. It costs 87 tokens per session (2,297 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for examining the values in one numeric data column. It identifies the column's statistical pattern and suggests suitable summaries, tests, and A/B test guidance.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to understand a metric's distribution, choose an appropriate statistical test, check assumptions for an A/B test, or plan analysis of a derived metric.
Why use it?
It helps prevent using an unsuitable statistical method, such as treating data as normally distributed when it is not.

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 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.

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. Use helpers/data/data_helpers.py to resolve the data source:

from helpers.data.data_helpers import detect_active_source, check_connection
source = detect_active_source()

Query through ConnectionManager (helpers/data/connection_manager.py) whatever the source; it resolves local vs. remote and auto-logs the query for provenance.

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.
