dataset-profiler

dataset-profiler is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from oxbshw/LLM-Agents-Ecosystem-Handbook. It costs 34 tokens per session (483 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A dataset inspection tool that creates a structured report about a CSV, Parquet, or JSONL file before analysis. It checks the columns, missing values, value ranges, unusual rows, possible keys, and data-quality warnings.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when receiving a new dataset, reproducing an analysis, or checking data quality. You can optionally identify one important column for extra distribution details.
Why use it?
It helps you spot problems before they lead to misleading charts or incorrect analysis. It also records open questions about unclear or suspicious data.

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

dataset-profiler 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 11d 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

Dataset Profiler

When to use

  • A new dataset arrives and you need to understand it before using it
  • Before reproducing an analysis that referenced a dataset
  • When data quality is suspect ("the chart looked wrong")

When NOT to use

  • Streaming / online data (this is point-in-time)
  • Sensitive PII without an explicit allow-list

Inputs

Name Type Required Notes
path path yes CSV / Parquet / JSONL
target string no column of interest (gets extra distribution detail)

Outputs

profile.md with: Source, Schema, Missingness, Distributions, Outliers, Joins / keys, Gotchas, Open questions.

Workflow

  1. Load with the right reader (extension-detected); record row count, file size
  2. Schema: column → dtype → nullable → example value
  3. Missingness: % per column, top columns by missingness
  4. Distributions: numeric (min, p50, p95, max, std), categorical (top-k, cardinality)
  5. Outliers: flag rows beyond p99 + 3·IQR for numerics
  6. Identify potential keys (unique columns) and join candidates
  7. Gotchas: timezone columns, mixed encodings, suspicious all-zero rows, magic values (-1, 9999-12-31)
  8. Open questions: ambiguous columns / values that need owner input

References

Success criteria

  • Every column appears in Schema + Missingness
  • Outliers section includes example rows
  • Gotchas section is non-empty (real datasets always have some)

Failure modes

  • File too large to read in memory → switch to streaming + sampled stats; flag prominently
  • Encoding fails → try common alternatives; if all fail, surface and stop
Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
