skills/polars/SKILL.md
High-performance DataFrame library written in Rust with Python bindings for blazingly fast data manipulation, lazy evaluation, and analytical queries. MANDATORY TRIGGERS: polars, pl.DataFrame, pl.LazyFrame, pl.col, pl.scan_csv, polars dataframe. Also trigger when user wants to process large datasets, replace pandas with faster alternative, do data engineering in Python, work with Parquet/CSV files at scale, or perform analytical queries on structured data. When in doubt about whether to use this skill for data processing tasks, use it.

development
AI developer platform for experiment tracking, LLM observability, hyperparameter sweeps, artifact versioning, and model registry. MANDATORY TRIGGERS: wandb, weights and biases, weights & biases, W&B, weave, wandb.init, wandb.log. Also trigger when the user wants to track ML experiments, log training metrics, tune hyperparameters with sweeps, version datasets or models, trace LLM calls, evaluate LLM applications, or monitor AI agents. When in doubt about whether to use this skill for ML experiment tracking or LLM observability tasks, use it.
tools
Data transformation with dbt (data build tool) — SQL-based modeling, testing, documentation, incremental builds, Jinja macros, snapshots, semantic layer, and deployment. MANDATORY TRIGGERS: dbt, data build tool, dbt-core, dbt Cloud, dbt run, dbt build, dbt test. Also trigger when the user wants to build SQL transformation pipelines, define data models with refs, write data quality tests, create incremental models, use Jinja macros in SQL, manage data warehouse transformations, or set up analytics engineering workflows. When in doubt about whether to use this skill for data transformation tasks, use it.
tools

MANDATORY TRIGGERS: weaviate, Weaviate, weaviate-client, near_text, near_vector, hybrid search vector database, WeaviateClient, weaviate.connect, collections.create, query.near_text, query.hybrid, query.bm25. Also trigger when user wants to build semantic search, store vector embeddings, implement RAG pipelines, combine keyword and vector search, set up multi-tenant vector storage, use named vectors, or integrate vector DB with LLM providers. When in doubt about whether to use this skill for vector database or semantic search tasks, use it.
tools
