validate-data

validate-data is a skill for Claude Code from sun2443/designer-skills. It costs 55 tokens per session (3,250 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of validate-data, Apache-2.0.

A data-analysis review workflow that checks methods, calculations, data selection, assumptions, and possible bias before results are shared.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for checking reports, notebooks, spreadsheets, charts, SQL queries, and their findings before presenting them to stakeholders.
Why use it?
It helps catch incorrect conclusions, unsuitable comparisons, and errors in SQL results or other analysis.

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

validate-data 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 13d 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.

/validate-data - Validate Analysis Before Sharing

If you see unfamiliar placeholders or need to check which tools are connected, see CONNECTORS.md.

Review an analysis for accuracy, methodology, and potential biases before sharing with stakeholders. Generates a confidence assessment and improvement suggestions.

Usage

/validate-data <analysis to review>

The analysis can be:

  • A document or report in the conversation
  • A file (markdown, notebook, spreadsheet)
  • SQL queries and their results
  • Charts and their underlying data
  • A description of methodology and findings

Workflow

1. Review Methodology and Assumptions

Examine:

  • Question framing: Is the analysis answering the right question? Could the question be interpreted differently?
  • Data selection: Are the right tables/datasets being used? Is the time range appropriate?
  • Population definition: Is the analysis population correctly defined? Are there unintended exclusions?
  • Metric definitions: Are metrics defined clearly and consistently? Do they match how stakeholders understand them?
  • Baseline and comparison: Is the comparison fair? Are time periods, cohort sizes, and contexts comparable?

2. Run the Pre-Delivery QA Checklist

Work through the checklist below — data quality, calculation, reasonableness, and presentation checks.

3. Check for Common Analytical Pitfalls

Systematically review against the detailed pitfall catalog below (join explosion, survivorship bias, incomplete period comparison, denominator shifting, average of averages, timezone mismatches, selection bias).

4. Verify Calculations and Aggregations

Where possible, spot-check:

  • Recalculate a few key numbers independently
  • Verify that subtotals sum to totals
  • Check that percentages sum to 100% (or close to it) where expected
  • Confirm that YoY/MoM comparisons use the correct base periods
  • Validate that filters are applied consistently across all metrics

Apply the result sanity-checking techniques below (magnitude checks, cross-validation, red-flag detection).
