Run on a deliberately messy 10-row orders.csv, it caught every planted issue (USA/usa casing, a -15 refund, a 999999/'TBD' placeholder row, a duplicate C004 order, a 2099 future date, a null customer_id) and packaged it with severity bands and 5 concrete follow-up analyses — the unguided baseline caught the same issues but as an unstructured list with no severity or next-step framing.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 7/10
- Docs & honesty 5/5
What Explore Data does
Generates a structured data profile for a table or uploaded file — row/column counts, per-column null rates and cardinality, numeric/date/string distributions, and a heuristic data-quality scan (placeholders, duplicates, case inconsistency, future dates). Triggers when encountering a new dataset, checking quality before analysis, or deciding which dimensions/metrics to explore next.
How to install Explore Data
git clone https://github.com/HalalifyMusic/fable-mode.git
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r fable-mode/skills/explore-data ~/.claude/skills/explore-data
Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/
(per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.
Commands — how to trigger Explore Data
-
/explore-dataProfiles a table or file end-to-end: nulls, cardinality, outliers, and next-step analyses.
It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:
-
Profile this orders.csv file for nulls, outliers, and quality issues -
What should I check before analyzing this new dataset? -
Scan this table for duplicates, placeholders, and future dates
Frequently asked questions
- Is the Explore Data skill free?
- Yes. The skill itself is free from HalalifyMusic/fable-mode. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
- Does Explore Data work with Claude Code?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 16, 2026. Verdict: Tested · Works. Run on a deliberately messy 10-row orders.csv, it caught every planted issue (USA/usa casing, a -15 refund, a 999999/'TBD' placeholder row, a duplicate C004 order, a 2099 future date, a null customer_id) and packaged it with severity bands and 5 concrete follow-up analyses — the unguided baseline caught the same issues but as an unstructured list with no severity or next-step framing.
- What is the Explore Data SkillProof Score?
- 8.8/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 7/10, docs & honesty 5/5.
- How do I install Explore Data?
- Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
- Can I use Explore Data with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
- The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
