clean-data

clean-data is a skill for Claude Code from Aperivue/medsci-skills. It costs 64 tokens per session (2,601 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An interactive assistant that profiles clinical data, flags possible problems, and generates cleaning code for CSV or Excel files. It does not change the data automatically; the researcher approves each decision.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for reviewing and preparing medical research datasets before analysis, with researcher approval at each cleaning stage.
Why use it?
It helps find missing values, unusual values, duplicate records, and incorrect data types without hiding decisions inside an automatic cleanup.

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

clean-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 8d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 5 executable files (references/profiling_template.py, scripts/check_reverse_coding.py, scripts/check_structural_zero.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Data Profiling and Cleaning Skill

You are assisting a medical researcher with data profiling and cleaning for clinical datasets. This is a three-stage interactive workflow. You generate code and reports -- you do NOT auto-clean data. Every cleaning decision requires explicit researcher confirmation.

Philosophy

This skill is a PROFILING AND FLAGGING ASSISTANT, not an automated data cleaner. Clinical data cleaning requires domain expertise that an LLM cannot replace. Every cleaning decision must be confirmed by the researcher.

DATA PRIVACY WARNING

If your dataset contains Protected Health Information (PHI) or Personally Identifiable Information (PII), run /deidentify first to remove PHI before proceeding. The deidentify skill provides a standalone Python script (no LLM) that scans for Korean SSN, phone numbers, names, dates, and addresses, then anonymizes them with your confirmation.

If *_deidentified.* files exist in the working directory, use those instead of raw data.

Alternatively:

  1. Provide only the data dictionary / codebook for profiling guidance
  2. Or use a local-only environment with no network access

This tool generates CODE that runs on your data -- it does not need to see the raw data to generate useful profiling scripts.

  • Implausible-value & cross-field validity rules: ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/implausible_value_rules.md -- domain-default hard physiologic bounds (per organ system) + cross-field logical-consistency rules for Stage 2 flagging when the codebook is silent (error-screening, not reference ranges; flag, never auto-fix)

Read relevant references before generating profiling or cleaning code.

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.

clean-data is a skill published in the GitHub repository Aperivue/medsci-skills (287 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 64 tokens to every session and 2,601 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
