SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Establishes a clear analysis plan before writing queries. This functionality is built into the ask-question and run-analysis skill. Do NOT invoke analysis-design-spec separately — use ask-question and run-analysis instead, which includes these instructions inline.

Core Features & Use Cases

The core functionality of analysis-design-spec is embedded in the ask-question and run-analysis workflow; when these triggers run, they automatically handle the planning steps that the standalone spec used to perform.

Quick Start

Ask a data question and run analysis; the embedded analysis-design spec will be applied automatically.

FAQPage Schema
How do I plan an analysis workflow before running data queries?

You plan an analysis workflow by using the ask-question and run-analysis pipelines, which automatically embed a pre-defined analysis design to structure hypothesis framing and query execution before any data is queried.

Why do I need a structured analysis design for data exploration?

You need a structured analysis design for data exploration to establish a clear plan before writing queries, enforcing structured reasoning and proper hypothesis framing throughout the ask-question and run-analysis workflows.

Can I use the analysis-design-spec skill as a standalone tool?

No, you cannot use the analysis-design-spec skill as a standalone tool. It is designed to be applied automatically within the ask-question and run-analysis pipelines and prevents standalone invocation to ensure integrated workflow enforcement.

What is the best way to frame hypotheses for a data analysis pipeline?

The best way to frame hypotheses for a data analysis pipeline is by triggering the ask-question and run-analysis workflows, which automatically apply the embedded analysis design spec to handle planning steps and enforce structured reasoning.

How do I start using the embedded analysis design spec?

To start using the embedded analysis design spec, simply ask a data question and run analysis through the designated pipelines. The planning steps and structured analysis design will be applied automatically without requiring separate invocation.
