SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps data teams quickly understand a dataset's schema, fields, sample values, and data volume so they can plan analyses and validations without manual inspection.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Schema discovery: Detect field names, types, and nested structures to map data structures.
  • Volume & freshness insights: Assess event counts and recency to gauge data timeliness.
  • Sample & guidance: Provide sample values to validate data quality and identify key dimensions for queries.
  • Onboarding new datasets: Rapidly form an understanding of a dataset before building dashboards or analyses.

Quick Start

To begin, invoke with a dataset name, for example: /explore-dataset logs

FAQPage Schema
How do I inspect a dataset schema and sample values without manual queries?

To inspect a dataset schema, use this Skill to detect field names, types, nested structures, and sample values automatically. It performs non-destructive data discovery by running native queries to map data structures for you.

What is the best way to check data volume and freshness before building a dashboard?

Checking data volume and freshness is done by assessing event counts and recency within the dataset. This Skill evaluates these metrics to help you gauge data timeliness and validate availability before analysis.

Can I explore nested fields and data structures using the Axiom CLI?

Yes, you can explore nested fields and data structures using the Axiom CLI. This Skill operates within the CLI workflow to inspect schemas, identify key filtering dimensions, and perform lightweight analyses.

How do I identify key filtering dimensions when onboarding new datasets?

To identify key filtering dimensions when onboarding new datasets, invoke this Skill with a dataset name. It provides sample values and schema insights to help you rapidly form an understanding of available fields.

Does dataset exploration modify or alter my original data?

Dataset exploration does not modify your original data. The Skill performs non-destructive data discovery, meaning it only reads schemas and samples records to validate data quality without altering the source.
