Profiles and safely cleans CSV files. Use whenever the user shares or mentions a CSV, TSV or spreadsheet export, asks what is in a data file, wants to find missing values, duplicates, wrong types or broken rows, prepare data for analysis, or fix garbled text, Persian or Arabic digits and mixed date formats, even if they only say "look at this data". Profiles first with a script, then proposes a logged cleaning plan and never overwrites the original.

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

# csv-profiling

Understand a CSV before changing it. The profiler uses only the standard library, so it runs anywhere, including Termux.

```
csv-profiling/
├── SKILL.md
├── scripts/
│   └── csv_profile.py        types, nulls, duplicates, ragged rows, mixed types, digits, dates
└── references/
    └── cleaning-plan.md      order of operations, fix table, Persian normalization, snippet
```

## When to use

- A new data file arrives and nobody knows what is in it
- Numbers load as text, dates are inconsistent, totals look wrong
- Text is garbled or contains Persian or Arabic digits
- Preparing data for a chart, a database import or analysis

## Workflow

1. **Profile**: `python3 scripts/csv_profile.py data.csv`
   Auto-detects encoding (`utf-8-sig`, `utf-8`, `cp1256`, `latin-1`) and delimiter (`, ; tab |`). Add `--json` for machine output and `--strict` to exit with code 1 when issues exist.
2. **Read the issues list**. Each line is a finding with the column name. Check a few raw rows for the worst ones.
3. **Decide per finding** with the table in `references/cleaning-plan.md`. Ask the user when a fix can change meaning (dd/mm vs mm/dd, "-" as a value, outlier removal).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add mehranqadirian/skills/csv-profiling@sha256:62e177c3e79d28eb

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261101.d21a8b2, 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.
