kaggle

kaggle is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from fmind/dot. It costs 16 tokens per session (1,027 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to using Kaggle’s command-line tool for competitions, datasets, notebooks, and machine-learning models. Kaggle is a platform where people share data and run data-science projects.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to authenticate, inspect competition and dataset files, download data, manage notebooks, and publish or submit approved work.
Why use it?
It limits downloads and requires clear authority for publishing or submitting work, reducing accidental data use or submissions.

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

kaggle 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 14d 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 — 53 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Kaggle CLI

Use kaggle for competition, dataset, kernel, and model operations from the shell. The official Kaggle skills document every command and metadata file; this skill owns authentication, download scope, and the authority boundary around submissions and publications.

Workflow

  1. Resolve the account: kaggle auth login (OAuth) or KAGGLE_API_TOKEN in the environment; the legacy ~/.kaggle/kaggle.json still works. Never run kaggle auth print-access-token during ordinary work.

  2. Read before writing: use bounded list/file commands and kaggle competitions submission-limits <slug> --json to inspect available data and submission limits. Read the competition's current rules separately with kaggle competitions pages list list <slug> --content --page-name rules (the repeated list is required by the CLI parser); these calls do not authorize accepting them.

  3. Download into an ignored directory: accept the competition rules on the website first (the CLI returns 403 otherwise).

    kaggle competitions download <slug> -p data/
    kaggle datasets download <owner>/<name> -p data/ --unzip
    
  4. Track the timeline: after accepting rules, list the page names with kaggle competitions pages list list <slug>, then read the deadlines with --page-name timeline (or description when no timeline page exists). Offer, or schedule when requested, Google Calendar reminders with gws: one week before the entry and team merger deadline, and on the final submission day.

  5. Inspect kernels before pushing: kaggle kernels init -p <dir> writes kernel-metadata.json. Before an authorized kaggle kernels push -p <dir>, inspect the upload directory, target ID, data sources, is_private, accelerator, internet access, and run timeout: pushing uploads code and starts remote execution. Keep is_private: true unless public release was explicitly requested, and inspect kaggle quota before accelerator use. Verify with kaggle kernels status <owner>/<slug> and retrieve artifacts with kaggle kernels output <owner>/<slug> -p out/.

  6. Submit with authority: a submission counts against the daily limit and shows on the leaderboard, so confirm the competition, file, and message first, then verify.

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.

kaggle is a skill published in the GitHub repository fmind/dot (12 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 16 tokens to every session and 1,027 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-03.
