dask

dask is a skill for Claude Code from Lzy599775/agent-auto-sci-skills. It costs 67 tokens per session (4,075 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of dask, MIT.

A Python library for processing pandas and NumPy workloads in parallel, including data that does not fit in a computer's memory. It can run work across multiple cores or machines.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for parallel file processing, larger-than-memory analysis, distributed machine learning, and pandas-based workflows running on clusters.
Why use it?
It helps scale existing data-processing code when files are too large for RAM, take too long on one machine, or need to run across a cluster.

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

dask 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 4d 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.

Dask

Overview

Dask is a Python library for parallel and distributed computing that enables three critical capabilities:

  • Larger-than-memory execution on single machines for data exceeding available RAM
  • Parallel processing for improved computational speed across multiple cores
  • Distributed computation supporting terabyte-scale datasets across multiple machines

Capacity depends on partition sizes, intermediate data, concurrency, storage, and available memory.

Reviewed release: dask/distributed 2026.8.0 (September 30, 2026 review). Docs: docs.dask.org. Since 2025.1.0, the expression-based DataFrame API with query planning is the only implementation — do not install dask-expr separately or set dataframe.query-planning: False.

Quick Start

Installation

uv pip install "dask[array,dataframe]==2026.8.0"

For a typical pandas/NumPy workflow with the distributed scheduler and dashboard:

uv pip install "dask[complete]==2026.8.0"

Remote object storage (requires provider credentials for private data):

uv pip install s3fs    # s3:// paths
uv pip install gcsfs   # gs:// paths

Requires Python 3.10+, pandas 2+, PyArrow 16+. Zarr, HDF5, SciPy, Xarray, Dask-ML, and cluster deployment packages are separate optional dependencies. See review and validation for tested versions, source links, and limits. File paths and undefined application functions below are illustrative. Put process scheduler/Client() execution in a main() guarded by if __name__ == "__main__": in scripts; close clients and clusters afterward.

When to Use This Skill

This skill should be used when:

  • Process datasets that exceed available RAM
  • Scale pandas or NumPy operations to larger datasets
  • Parallelize computations for performance improvements
  • Process multiple files efficiently (CSVs, Parquet, JSON, text logs)
  • Build custom parallel workflows with task dependencies
  • Distribute workloads across multiple cores or machines
