ae-analysis — Claude Code skill: what it does, how to install
This skill uses ae-cli for data questions, analytics assets, metadata discovery, and governance work. Use it when analysis needs verified project context.
npx skills add ThinkingAIAgenticEngine/ae-cli --skill ae-analysis -a claude-codeWhat ae-analysis does
ae-analysis handles data questions around reports, BI dashboards, metrics, ad-hoc models, alerts, tags, and project configuration. It can inspect asset metadata, explain changes, export evidence, manage governance links, and work with projects and tracking plans.
The skill also covers local input-file uploads and asset relationships such as lineage, impact, and dependencies. Query rows are returned as evidence and do not become a saved audience automatically. Before gateway-backed commands, it maintains .ae/cli-agent-context.json for intent telemetry unless the user explicitly opts out.
What it helps with
- query data by metric, time window, and filter
- resolve business metrics and asset metadata
- inspect lineage and dependency links
- export evidence for an analysis result
- manage governed asset lists and rules
Example prompts for the agent
- Query the retention metric for the latest available period and group the result by project.
- Inspect the report metadata, explain the change in its figures, and export the supporting evidence.
- Show the asset dependencies and update its governance rules.
