vaex

vaex is a skill for Claude Code from magic3007/dotfiles. It costs 100 tokens per session (1,906 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of vaex, MIT.

A Python library for processing very large tables that do not fit into computer memory. It reads and computes data in smaller pieces and can delay calculations until they are needed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for large-data filtering, aggregation, visualization, heatmaps, and machine-learning workflows.
Why use it?
It lets developers explore and summarize gigabyte- or terabyte-scale datasets without first loading every row into RAM.

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

vaex 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.

Vaex

Overview

Vaex is a high-performance Python library designed for lazy, out-of-core DataFrames to process and visualize tabular datasets that are too large to fit into RAM. Vaex can process over a billion rows per second, enabling interactive data exploration and analysis on datasets with billions of rows.

Installation

Install the full meta-package (recommended):

uv pip install vaex

Minimal install (pick only what you need):

uv pip install vaex-core vaex-viz vaex-hdf5 vaex-ml

The vaex package is a meta-package that pulls in vaex-core, vaex-viz, vaex-hdf5, vaex-ml, and other sub-packages. Arrow support is built into vaex-core (the separate vaex-arrow package is deprecated). vaex-distributed is deprecated in favor of vaex-enterprise.

Version notes (vaex 4.19.0+): Python 3.12 and NumPy v2 require vaex >= 4.19.0. On Windows, you may need Python dev headers to build the annoy dependency.

When to Use This Skill

Use Vaex when:

  • Processing tabular datasets larger than available RAM (gigabytes to terabytes)
  • Performing fast statistical aggregations on massive datasets
  • Creating visualizations and heatmaps of large datasets
  • Building machine learning pipelines on big data
  • Converting between data formats (CSV, HDF5, Arrow, Parquet)
  • Needing lazy evaluation and virtual columns to avoid memory overhead
  • Working with astronomical data, financial time series, or other large-scale scientific datasets

Vaex vs alternatives: Use polars when data fits in RAM and you need maximum in-memory speed. Use dask when you need distributed pandas/NumPy across a cluster. Use vaex for single-machine, out-of-core analytics on tabular data that exceeds RAM via memory-mapped HDF5/Arrow files.

Core Capabilities

Vaex provides six primary capability areas, each documented in detail in the references directory:

1. DataFrames and Data Loading

Load and create Vaex DataFrames from various sources including files (HDF5, CSV, Arrow, Parquet), pandas DataFrames, NumPy arrays, and dictionaries. Reference references/core_dataframes.md for:

  • Opening large files efficiently
  • Converting from pandas/NumPy/Arrow
  • Working with example datasets
  • Understanding DataFrame structure

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.
