BC scientific-data-preprocessing
⚠️ CRITICAL USER EXPERIENCE-BASED SKILL - ALWAYS CONSULT BEFORE DATA PREPROCESSING ⚠️ Prevents catastrophic errors (88.9% error rate in V1.0 case study) through multi-level feature analysis, data leakage detection, and semantic validation. MANDATORY for: data preprocessing, feature engineering, standardization, normalization, interpolation, missing value handling, feature selection, or ANY data transformation task. Covers grouped time-series, cross-sectional, panel data. Detects: time travel leakage, causal inversion, ID misuse, semantic-numeric fallacies, distribution blindness. User's hard-won lessons from real project failures.

As a process C 58/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: result and completion, failures and branches, running it twice
How to improve
- Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
- A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Process rating: all ten parameters 58/100
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 0Failures and branches. Linear process with no failure handling
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 30Running it twice. 1 mutating operations with no state check
- 50When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 70Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
- 70Execution cost. Instruction body is 4782 tokens
- 85Steps. 84 steps, 1 vague phrases
- 100Tools and files. No external tools needed
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- medium Safety rules and hard prohibitions inside a skill: they belong in the system prompt, here they protect nothing
Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
Quality signals
- +5Description has no quoted example phrases that should trigger the skill
- +4Description does not say when NOT to use the skill (false activations)
- +3Output format is not stated: the model decides each time
- -214 emoji in the instructions: noise for the model
- +1No license
- +2Single-language instructions
- +3Description length 638: enough signal without eating the budget
- +4Structure: 27 headings
- +3Step-by-step instructions: 84 items
- +4Has examples (18 code blocks)
- +4Reference files are cited in the instructions (5 of 5)
Quality base 70; lint remarks subtract, signals add up to 100. Result: 86.
