file-processing

A toolset for working with CSV, JSON, and plain-text data files. It supports loading, cleaning, transforming, analyzing, visualizing, and exporting data without requiring you to write code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to filter, sort, group, validate, summarize, merge, or convert data files, and to create reports or visualizations from them.
Why use it?
It removes repetitive file-processing work such as fixing missing values, removing duplicates, changing formats, and combining datasets.

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

file-processing 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/process.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.

File Processing Skill

Purpose

Process structured data files (CSV, JSON, text) with comprehensive capabilities for data cleaning, transformation, analysis, and export. This skill enables working with data files without requiring users to write code.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when you need to:

  • Load and parse CSV or JSON files
  • Clean and transform data
  • Perform statistical analysis
  • Filter, sort, or aggregate data
  • Merge or join datasets
  • Convert between formats (CSV ↔ JSON)
  • Generate summary reports

Capabilities

1. Data Loading

Supported formats:

  • CSV files: Any delimiter (comma, tab, semicolon, etc.)
  • JSON files: Single objects or arrays of objects
  • Text files: Custom delimited formats

2. Data Cleaning

Available operations:

  • Remove duplicate rows
  • Handle missing values (drop, fill, interpolate)
  • Normalize text (trim whitespace, standardize case)
  • Convert data types
  • Remove outliers
  • Validate data against rules

3. Data Transformation

Available operations:

  • Filter: Select rows based on conditions
  • Select: Choose specific columns
  • Sort: Order by one or more columns
  • Group: Aggregate data by categories
  • Pivot: Reshape data (wide ↔ long format)
  • Merge: Combine multiple datasets
  • Calculate: Add derived columns

4. Data Analysis

Available analyses:

  • Descriptive statistics (mean, median, std, etc.)
  • Frequency distributions
  • Correlation analysis
  • Trend detection
  • Missing data analysis
  • Data quality assessment

5. Export

Output formats:

  • CSV files
  • JSON files (objects or arrays)
  • Markdown tables
  • Summary reports

Instructions for Execution

When this skill is activated, follow these steps:

Step 1: Understand the Request

Ask clarifying questions if needed:

  • What file(s) need to be processed?
  • What specific analysis or transformation is required?
  • What output format is desired?
  • Are there any specific requirements or constraints?

Step 2: Load the Data

Changes

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.

file-processing is a skill published in the GitHub repository aws-samples/sample-strands-agents-agentskills (90 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 24 tokens to every session and 1,617 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.
