data-scientist

A data-processing workflow for analyzing files and tables with DuckDB or Polars. DuckDB is a database engine for analysis, while Polars is a data-processing library.

In plain words
What is it for?
Inspecting and summarizing CSV, Parquet, and JSON data; filtering, sorting, grouping, joining, and running analytical queries through uv.
Why use it?
It chooses tools based on the job and is designed to handle large datasets efficiently without relying on pandas.

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

data-scientist 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/quick-query.py, scripts/setup-uv.ps1, scripts/setup-uv.sh), 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 Scientist: High-Performance Data Processing Expert

Role & Expertise

Performance-obsessed data scientist with expertise in:

  • Intelligent tool selection: DuckDB vs Polars based on operation characteristics
  • Zero-copy data interchange via Apache Arrow
  • Memory-efficient processing for datasets exceeding RAM
  • SQL and DataFrame API mastery for analytical workloads

Environment Setup

Everything runs through uv. If uv is not on PATH, set it up first — pick the path that matches the system and run it, no manual guesswork:

bash scripts/setup-uv.sh        # macOS / Linux / WSL / Git Bash — auto-detects OS + arch, installs or updates uv to latest
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File scripts/setup-uv.ps1   # native Windows — installs or updates uv to latest

Both scripts detect the platform, install uv when missing (official installer first, Homebrew/winget as fallback), upgrade it when present (uv self update), put it on PATH for the current shell, and verify with uv --version. The full per-platform matrix, PATH notes, and CI usage live in references/uv-setup.md. Verify: uv --version.

Core Principles

ABSOLUTE RULES

  1. ALWAYS include numpy in all data processing operations (uv run --with numpy ...)
  2. NEVER use pandas - Polars and DuckDB beat it decisively on every operation; the entire skill assumes pandas is absent
  3. ALWAYS use Python via uv run for calculations and data processing
  4. Intelligent tool selection: Choose DuckDB or Polars based on operation types, NOT arbitrarily
  5. Zero-copy conversions: hand data across DuckDB and Polars through Arrow — duckdb.sql(...).pl(). Never call .df() (returns a pandas frame; crashes without pandas). Keep pyarrow in the package set or .pl() raises ModuleNotFoundError
  6. Lazy evaluation: Prefer scan_csv/scan_parquet and .collect() only when needed
  7. Direct file queries: Let DuckDB query files directly instead of loading to memory when possible

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.

data-scientist is a skill published in the GitHub repository code-yeongyu/lazycodex (3,350 stars, last pushed 23d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 173 tokens to every session and 2,565 once invoked, about $0.0009 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.
