ds-tools
This skill should be used when the user asks 'what data science tools are available', 'list data analysis plugins', 'what skills work with data', 'enable data science code intelligence', or needs to discover data-specific plugins and skills like wrds, lseg-data, gemini-batch, or data context skills. Use this for data science tool discovery; use dev-tools for general development tool discovery.
Best use case
ds-tools is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
This skill should be used when the user asks 'what data science tools are available', 'list data analysis plugins', 'what skills work with data', 'enable data science code intelligence', or needs to discover data-specific plugins and skills like wrds, lseg-data, gemini-batch, or data context skills. Use this for data science tool discovery; use dev-tools for general development tool discovery.
Teams using ds-tools should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.
