skills/data/analysis/SKILL.md
Use when exploring a dataset for patterns, trends, and business insights — EDA, segmentation, anomaly detection, and visualization guidance. Generates the Observation → Insight → Action chain. NOT for schema validation or data quality scoring (use the data/data skill) or SQL queries (use data:analyze).

Data Analysis Skill
Explore datasets, identify patterns, and generate actionable insights.
Quick Start
/wicked-garden:data:analyze explore data/sales.csv
This will:
- Profile the data
- Generate descriptive statistics
- Identify patterns and trends
- Suggest visualizations
- Provide initial insights
After exploration, ask specific questions:
- "What's the trend in sales over time?"
- "Which customer segments are most valuable?"
- "Are there any anomalies in the data?"
Analysis Workflow
1. Profile & Understand
/wicked-garden:data:analyze sales.csv
Key questions:
- What's the grain? (one row per what?)
- What's the date range?
- What are the key metrics?
- Any obvious data quality issues?
2. Explore Patterns
Basic explorations:
- Distributions (histograms, percentiles)
- Categorical breakdowns (frequency tables)
- Time trends (daily/monthly aggregations)
- Correlations (relationship between metrics)
3. Segment Analysis
Common segmentations:
- RFM: Recency, Frequency, Monetary value
- Cohorts: Group by signup/first purchase month
- Geographic: By region, country, city
- Behavioral: By usage patterns
4. Anomaly Detection
Detection methods:
- Statistical outliers (>3 standard deviations)
- Unusual patterns (volume spikes/drops)
- Temporal anomalies (day-of-week deviations)
Insight Generation
Pattern: Observation → Insight → Action
Bad (just observations):
- Average order value is $45
- 60% of customers are in the US
Good (insights with actions):
### Insight: Weekend Shopping Behavior
**Observation**: Sales peak on Friday (+40% vs weekday avg)
**Insight**: Customers shop for weekend needs on Friday.
**Action**: Launch "Friday Flash Sale" campaign (+15% expected)
**Confidence**: HIGH (consistent over 6 months)
Visualization Guidance
| Data Type | Comparison | Best Chart | |-----------|------------|------------| | Time series | Trend over time | Line chart | | Categorical | Compare values | Bar chart | | Distribution | Show spread | Histogram, Box plot | | Relationship | Correlation | Scatter plot | | Composition | Part of whole | Stacked bar, Pie | | Geographic | Location data | Map (choropleth) |
Integration
wicked-garden:data:analyze - Primary tool for data queries via DuckDB:
/wicked-garden:data:analyze data.csv
Native tasks - Document insights via TaskCreate with metadata.event_type="task"
wicked-brain:memory - Store analysis patterns for reuse
Best Practices
- Start simple: Begin with basic aggregations before complex models
- Validate assumptions: Check data quality, verify calculations
- Tell a story: Lead with the "so what?" and make it actionable
- Be honest about uncertainty: Note limitations, quantify confidence
Common Pitfalls
- Correlation ≠ Causation: Ice cream and drownings both increase in summer
- Simpson's Paradox: Aggregate trend may reverse when segmented
- Survivorship Bias: Include failed cases for balanced view
- Cherry-picking: Report all patterns, not just favorable ones

mikeparcewski/wicked-garden:classify
testing
VerifiedTrustedCommunity
v11 LLM-based work-shape classifier. Replaces the regex archetype detector with the model's own reasoning. Reads the user's prompt, picks the right archetype(s) from the catalog, identifies signals (blast_radius, novelty, reversibility, etc.), and persists to SessionState so subsequent turns steer correctly. Use when: the prompt_submit hook emitted a `<wg classify-due />` directive, OR explicitly invoked at session start, OR when re-classifying after the user changes scope mid-session.

tools
VerifiedTrustedCommunity
v11 work-shape archetype runner. When a prompt has been routed to one of the 9 archetypes (triage, explore, specify, decide, ship, review, incident, build, migrate), this skill is the entry point. It picks the right per-archetype playbook from refs/ and executes the phase shape declared in `.claude-plugin/archetypes.json`. Use when: a `<wg archetype="X">` or `<wg archetypes>` system-reminder tag appears, an explicit "let's run the X archetype" request, or when one of the per-archetype slash commands resolves to this skill.

mikeparcewski/intent
development
VerifiedTrustedCommunity
Show or set the session intent variable. Intent gates how loud the framework is — simple-edit (silent), feature/research (synthesis directive), rigor (full crew context). Auto-detected on turn 1; this skill overrides explicitly. Sticky for the session. Use when: "set intent", "intent override", "/wicked-garden:intent", "make the framework quiet", "force rigor", "what's my intent".
