Pandas Data Analysis — Claude Code skill: what it does, how to install
This skill guides coding agents through data cleaning, aggregations, and plotting with Pandas, NumPy, and Matplotlib. It helps automate exploratory analysis on raw datasets.
npx skills add pluginagentmarketplace/custom-plugin-python --skill pandas-data-analysis -a claude-codeWhat Pandas Data Analysis does
The skill provides workflows for loading datasets from CSV or SQL, handling missing rows, and converting inconsistent date strings. It instructs the assistant on selecting subsets with loc and iloc, building pivot tables, and calculating rolling window statistics. For graphical summaries, it guides chart creation with Matplotlib and Seaborn heatmaps.
Under the hood, the skill connects to the 03-data-science subagent. It records processing speed using the data_processing_time metric and applies exponential_backoff retries if execution fails.
Your environment must have pandas, numpy, matplotlib, and seaborn installed locally. Without those Python packages, the agent will hit import errors when executing its analysis scripts.
What it helps with
- Clean dirty CSV files by removing duplicates and imputing missing numbers
- Calculate rolling averages, pivot tables, and grouped department statistics
- Plot correlation heatmaps, box plots, and category sales charts
- Prepare RFM customer segmentation reports
Example prompts for the agent
- Load
sales_data.csv, fill missing price values with the median, and parse order dates - Group sales figures by region and calculate moving averages for the last 7 days
- Create a Seaborn heatmap showing the correlation between salary, age, and experience
