datascience

A set of standards for data-science projects, including notebooks, datasets, machine-learning models, and analysis code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to apply naming rules, folder conventions, notebook output requirements, data-file handling, and reusable code patterns.
Why use it?
It keeps project files organised and makes notebooks and results easier to reproduce, review, and share.

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

datascience 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 2d 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 — 60 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Data Science Standards

Conventions for data science projects.

Notebook Naming

Pattern: NN-initials-description.ipynb

  • Two-digit execution order: 01, 02, 03
  • Author initials: kj for Konrad Jelen
  • Brief description: data-exploration, train-yolov8m
  • Examples: 01-kj-data-exploration.ipynb, 04-kj-train-yolov8m.ipynb

Sequential numbering within groupings. Archive obsolete to @archive/. Never delete. temp_ prefix for temporary notebooks excluded from Git.

File Format

.ipynb = source of truth, committed WITH its outputs. The executed notebook - inline figures, rich renders, tables - is the artefact a reader opens, so the outputs are part of what gets reviewed and shared. Do not gitignore .ipynb, and do not keep the source in a paired Jupytext .py.

Project Structure (cookiecutter-data-science)

data/raw/          # Original immutable datasets (never modify)
data/interim/      # Intermediate transformed data
data/processed/    # Final canonical datasets
data/external/     # Third-party data
notebooks/         # Jupyter notebooks
src/               # Reusable Python modules extracted from notebooks
models/            # Trained model artifacts
reports/           # Generated analysis and figures

PyTorch Model Artifacts

models/<model_name>/
  model.pt        # TorchScript (torch.jit.load, no class needed, for inference)
  checkpoint.pt   # State dict (needs class definition, for retraining)

Folder rolling: current → -1-2, up to 5 versions.

Code Standards

  • Imports: never into __init__.py. Always explicit module imports
  • Docstrings: Google format, type hints for params and returns
  • DataFrames: purpose_df for DataFrames, purpose_lf for LazyFrames
  • Rich output: from rich import print as rprint - the form every notebook-standards template uses
  • Polars: lazy (pl.LazyFrame + collect()) for large datasets
  • Prefer builtins: sklearn.model_selection.train_test_split over manual
  • Plots: matplotlib + seaborn; sizes per purpose in the notebook-standards references/matplotlib.md

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.

datascience is a skill published in the GitHub repository stellarshenson/claude-code-plugins (3 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 57 tokens to every session and 637 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-31.
