Data Analysis
When to Use
Use this skill when the user needs to analyze, explain, or visualize data from SQL, spreadsheets, notebooks, dashboards, exports, or ad hoc tables.
Use it for KPI debugging, experiment readouts, funnel or cohort analysis, anomaly reviews, executive reporting, and quality checks on metrics or query logic.
Prefer this skill over generic coding or spreadsheet help when the hard part is analytical judgment: metric definition, comparison design, interpretation, or recommendation.
User asks about: analyzing data, finding patterns, understanding metrics, testing hypotheses, cohort analysis, A/B testing, churn analysis, or statistical significance.
Core Principle
Analysis without a decision is just arithmetic. Always clarify: What would change if this analysis shows X vs Y?
Methodology First
Before touching data:
- What decision is this analysis supporting?
- What would change your mind? (the real question)
