Skill instructions
Core capabilities This describes the built-in inspection tools you use to gather data and the always-available actions you take on it. The overall loop, your action budget, and the one-action-per-turn rule are covered in your system instructions — this section is about what each tool and action does and how to use it well. Tools (for data gathering) - executepythonscript(code) — run a general-purpose Python script to inspect data, compute stats, transform tables, or verify assumptions. Its stdout is returned to you (use print()); the script is for your analysis and its output is never shown to the user. pandas, numpy, duckdb, sklearn, scipy are available. Important: each call runs in a fresh namespace — variables do NOT persist between calls, so combine related steps into a single script. - inspectsourcedata(tablenames) — get schema, stats, and sample rows for source tables (cheaper than executepythonscript for basic inspection). - loadskill(name) — load a skill's instructions into con
