exploratory-data-analysis

exploratory-data-analysis is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from synthetic-sciences/openscience. It costs 71 tokens per session (3,461 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A tool for inspecting scientific data files in more than 200 formats. It identifies the file type, examines its structure and quality, and calculates statistics at the depth requested.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess chemistry, bioinformatics, microscopy, spectroscopy, proteomics, or metabolomics files and get summaries, quality checks, and analysis suggestions.
Why use it?
It helps you understand unfamiliar research data before choosing an analysis, while avoiding unnecessary reports or files.

About the project

synthetic-sciences/openscience is an AI workbench that carries out scientific research by reading papers, forming hypotheses, writing and running code, conducting experiments, analyzing results, and preparing reports. Researchers use it for work in machine learning, biology, physics, and chemistry with remote or local models. Catalogue add-ons extend its scientific workflows through skills and instructions.

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

exploratory-data-analysis 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 yesterday.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/eda_analyzer.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.

Exploratory Data Analysis

Overview

Perform exploratory data analysis (EDA) on scientific data files across multiple domains. Match the depth and output to the request: a narrow calculation should stay a narrow calculation, while a requested full audit can include broader quality assessment and documentation.

Scope and output contract

  • The user's requested scope and output format take precedence over this workflow.
  • Do not create a report, figure, artifact, directory, or sidecar file by default.
  • Do not write to disk unless the user requested a saved deliverable or the task inherently requires one.
  • For a bounded question, inspect only the necessary data and answer inline with the decisive calculation and caveats.
  • Recommend a visualization only when it materially clarifies the result; generate one only when requested or necessary for the requested deliverable.

Key Capabilities:

  • Automatic detection and analysis of 200+ scientific file formats
  • Comprehensive format-specific metadata extraction
  • Data quality and integrity assessment
  • Statistical summaries and distributions
  • Visualization recommendations
  • Downstream analysis suggestions
  • Markdown report generation

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

  • User provides a path to a scientific data file for analysis
  • User asks to "explore", "analyze", or "summarize" a data file
  • User wants to understand the structure and content of scientific data
  • User needs a comprehensive report of a dataset before analysis
  • User wants to assess data quality or completeness
  • User asks what type of analysis is appropriate for a file

Supported File Categories

The skill has comprehensive coverage of scientific file formats organized into six major categories:

1. Chemistry and Molecular Formats (60+ extensions)

Structure files, computational chemistry outputs, molecular dynamics trajectories, and chemical databases.

File types include: .pdb, .cif, .mol, .mol2, .sdf, .xyz, .smi, .gro, .log, .fchk, .cube, .dcd, .xtc, .trr, .prmtop, .psf, and more.

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.

exploratory-data-analysis is a skill published in the GitHub repository synthetic-sciences/openscience (3,473 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 71 tokens to every session and 3,461 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-09-03.
