A procedure for acquiring datasets, meaning collections of data used for analysis or machine learning, into a project's external-data folder. Each dataset is saved with an archive and a tracked Markdown record describing its licence, size, source, restrictions, and use.

Use it to bring public or private datasets into a project while recording their provenance, legal limits, storage location, and relationship to the task.

It prevents downloaded data from becoming an undocumented or misplaced project file. The record lets other people understand where the data came from and whether they may use it.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00167	$0.02183
Opus 5.5	$0.00067	$0.00873
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00033	$0.00437
Haiku 4.5	$0.00017	$0.00218

Measured 1mo ago against content hash ebfffda47875, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-10-07, from the pricing page.

Security

Grade A, and why

dataset 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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (examples/fetch_datasets.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 122 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Dataset acquisition

Every dataset a project acquires gets TWO artifacts in a task folder under the external data directory. A corpus present without its sidecar is a defect - nobody downstream can tell what it is, where it came from, or whether it may be used.

dataset-<name>.zip - the archive, gitignored
dataset-<name>.md - the sidecar, tracked

Sidecar survives the archive. Archives are large, rebuildable and machine-local; the sidecar is the only record that reaches another machine, another repo, or a reader six months on.

Ask where it goes (MANDATORY - before creating anything)

Propose a location and WAIT for the answer. Not before the first byte is fetched - before the directory is created, because the sidecar is written and tracked before any download happens. Projects differ on where external data lives, and a corpus written to the wrong tree is a large file to move and a gitignore rule to redo.

Suggest data/external/<task>-datasets/, naming the task you inferred from the request
Offer the alternatives you can see on disk - an existing data/external/* sibling, a datasets/ root, a path already in .gitignore
Wait for the answer, then reuse the confirmed location for the rest of that task without asking again

Layout

data/external/<task>-datasets/
├── dataset-ragtruth.zip          # gitignored
├── dataset-ragtruth.md           # tracked
├── dataset-edgar-restricted.md   # tracked - describes the tree below, no archive
└── edgar-restricted/             # gitignored

Task folder, not a flat dump - one folder per task (grounding-datasets/, ner-datasets/, forecasting-datasets/), so a project running three tasks does not have to reason about which corpus belongs to which
Archive per corpus where the corpus fits an archive; an extracted tree beside the sidecar where it does not (multi-GB, incremental, or fetched file-by-file)
<name> - lowercase-hyphen, matches the spec key, identical across .zip and .md
Scaffolding a project that will hold data → create data/external/<task>-datasets/ with the gitignore rules below before the first fetch

What ships with it

3 files 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.

dataset is a skill published in the GitHub repository stellarshenson/claude-code-plugins (4 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 167 tokens to every session and 2,183 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
