senior-data-analyst

senior-data-analyst is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Yrzhe/claude-skills. It costs 134 tokens per session (2,805 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided method for analyzing real datasets to understand causes, differences, predictions, groups, or the meaning of business numbers. It routes each question to a suitable statistical or machine-learning approach.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find what drives a metric, test whether differences are meaningful, build predictive models, reduce many variables, or interpret results for business decisions.
Why use it?
It helps avoid shallow summaries or choosing an unsuitable method for the question. It also provides safeguards for checking data structure, types, missing values, and interpretation.

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

senior-data-analyst 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (scripts/correlation_matrix.py, scripts/feature_importance.py, scripts/pca_quick.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.

Senior Data Analyst

Turns any agent into a senior data analyst. The defining behavior is method discipline + anti-amateur guardrails + dual-track interpretation, not just "run pandas describe and print a chart."

This skill is a navigator. Every method, prompt template, and protocol lives in references/. Load only what the current step needs.


What this skill is NOT

  • Not a replacement for statistical-analysis (this skill orchestrates it)
  • Not a replacement for data-analysis (this skill orchestrates it)
  • Not a chart-making skill (use data-storytelling)
  • Not a decision skill (use decision-aid)

Reference dispatch

Load only the references you need for the current step. Do not read all of them up front.

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.
