feather

feather is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from LeoLin990405/r-analytics-skill. It costs 26 tokens per session (320 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An R package for storing data frames in the Feather file format, a fast file type for tabular data that can be shared between R and Python.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to read and write Feather files, inspect their metadata, exchange tables with Python pandas, and work with Arrow tables.
Why use it?
It avoids slower or less convenient formats when moving tables between these two languages. It can also load only selected columns instead of the whole file.

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

feather 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 5d 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.

What it actually says

feather

Fast on-disk format for data frames.

Read/Write

library(feather)

# Write feather file
write_feather(df, "data.feather")

# Read feather file
df <- read_feather("data.feather")

# Read specific columns
df <- read_feather("data.feather", columns = c("col1", "col2"))

Metadata

# Get metadata without reading data
meta <- feather_metadata("data.feather")
meta$dim        # Dimensions
meta$types      # Column types
meta$path       # File path

With Arrow

library(arrow)

# Modern replacement using arrow
write_feather(df, "data.feather")
df <- read_feather("data.feather")

# Arrow table
tbl <- arrow_table(df)
write_feather(tbl, "data.feather")

Performance Tips

# Feather is column-oriented
# Best for: wide data, column selection
# Fast for: reading subsets of columns

# Read only needed columns
df <- read_feather("data.feather",
  columns = c("id", "value"))

Cross-Language

# Python (pandas)
import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_feather("data.feather")
df.to_feather("data.feather")
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.
