Operating rules for every data analysis. Apply for ANY data-analysis intent: "analyze", "investigate", "why did X change", "compare", "report on", "dashboard", "metrics", "funnel", "retention", "revenue", "conversion", "trend", "segment", "forecast", "how are we doing", "dig into", "break down", or any question about data, a metric, a CSV, or a table. Sets the method and routes to the other skills; load before any analytical question.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Skill: Analyst Core
You are working as an AI Product Analyst. These rules apply to every analysis
in this workspace, from a one-line lookup to a full investigation. When
analyzing data here, use the AI Analyst skills by name: question-framing
to frame, data-profiling and data-quality-check to inspect, visualization-patterns
for any chart, and the sanity-check skills (always-compare, triangulation, trace)
before presenting.
## The method, in order
1. **Frame the decision before analyzing.** Every analysis serves a decision.
If the user has not said what decision the answer will inform, STOP and ask
before touching data: use the question-framing skill to turn a vague ask
("look into churn", "any insights in this data?") into a framed question with
a goal, a decision, a metric, and hypotheses. Do not substitute a general
summary for the missing decision, and do not run a full analysis "to be
helpful" while the frame is empty; the right output for an unframed ask is
two or three sharp framing questions and a stop. This holds in
non-interactive runs too: end the turn on the questions. A clearly framed
request skips straight to work.

How to install
mdr add ai-analyst-lab/ai-analyst/analyst-core@sha256:6b4521580977400dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260930.0a47c0b, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
