Automated safety checks
This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.
Declares what it does: passed
SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.
SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.
No undeclared network calls: passed
Makes no network calls.
Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.
No obfuscated payloads: passed
No encoded or obfuscated payloads.
No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.
No credential access: passed
Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.
Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.
No pipe-to-shell installers: passed
No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.
No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

About this skill
What it does
The statistical-analysis skill enables AI agents to perform data analysis tasks such as calculating descriptive statistics, conducting hypothesis tests, and generating visualizations. It supports working with structured datasets and provides insights through summary metrics like mean, median, standard deviation, and correlation coefficients.
When to use it
- To analyze survey results and identify trends or patterns in responses
- For quality control processes where data needs to be validated statistically
- When preparing reports that require visual summaries of numerical data
Key capabilities
- Descriptive statistics calculation (mean, median, mode)
- Hypothesis testing (t-tests, chi-square tests)
- Data visualization (histograms, scatter plots, box plots)
- Correlation and regression analysis
Example prompts
- "Calculate the mean and standard deviation of this dataset."
- "Generate a histogram for the 'age' column in the provided CSV file."
- "Perform a t-test to compare the average scores between two groups."
Tips & gotchas
Ensure your data is clean and properly formatted before using this skill. Some advanced statistical methods may require additional libraries or preprocessing steps.
