Read and explore any data file (CSV, JSON, Parquet, Avro, Excel, spatial, …) locally or remotely (S3, HTTPS). Resolves the path automatically. Uses DuckDB with extension-based format detection — no magic extension needed.
Search past Claude Code session logs to recover your own context. Invoke this proactively when you need to recall past decisions, patterns, or unresolved work — either across all projects or scoped to the current one.
Query the IMSA DuckDB dataset (output/imsa.duckdb). Includes schema guidance for seasons and laps plus formatting macros. Use for analytics, session lookups, and lap-level queries.
Create reactive Python notebooks for IMSA racing data analysis using marimo. Use for building interactive filtering UIs (seasons, classes, events), connecting to DuckDB databases, creating reactive visualizations, and performing data analysis with automatic cell re-execution. Includes templates, patterns, and IMSA-specific workflows.

| description | use to query historical data on the IMSA Weathertech seasons |
Analyze racing data from the DuckDB database covering IMSA WeatherTech (2021-2026), WEC (2025), and ELMS (2025). Provides insights into lap times, driver performance, team comparisons, weather impacts, chassis performance, and race strategies.
Every lap includes chassis, homologation, and manufacturer columns:
LMDh, LMH, DPi, LMP2, LMP3, GTE, GT3Query with the skill included ./query.sh "SELECT 1". Schema can be found in ./schema.md
Output Formats:
-markdown flag)./query.sh --csv "SELECT ..." for token-efficient output with large result setsYou may have to use --remote parameter to access the database, and that may require the use of INSTALL httpfs if its not already there. You will figure it out.
WHERE event = 'X' AND session = 'race' → get session_idWHERE session_id = X AND class = 'Y' AND flags = 'GF' AND lap_time_driver_quartile IN (1, 2)session = 'race' and top 50% of laps unless asked otherwiseAlways compare within a single session_id. A session_id uniquely identifies one specific session (e.g., "2025 Sebring Race"). Laps from different sessions should NOT be compared directly.
✅ DEFAULT: Filter by session_id (captures year, event, session, start_date)
❌ AVOID: Comparing across multiple session_ids without explicit reason
It's a good idea to start with querying the seasons table at the beginning. Example:
./query "SELECT * FROM seasons WHERE session = 'race' AND season in (2024,2025) ORDER BY date"
Default to session = 'race' unless specifically asked otherwise. Practice and qualifying have different objectives, tire strategies, and fuel loads.
✅ ALWAYS: Start with race sessions
⚠️ ONLY IF ASKED: Look at practice or qualifying data
GTP ≠ LMP2 ≠ GTD even in the same session. Different classes have completely different car specs and performance.
❌ NEVER: Compare GTP times to GTD times
✅ ALWAYS: Analyze each class separately within the session
When calculating average lap times, ALWAYS filter to a single session_id AND class. Averaging across sessions or classes produces meaningless numbers.
The Golden Filtering Rule:
WHERE session_id = X -- Single session
AND class = 'Y' -- Single class
AND bpillar_quartile IN (1, 2) -- BPillar top 50% (race sessions only)
For performance analysis, use BPillar filtering - automatically excludes pit laps, first lap, slow laps, and traffic.
✅ ALWAYS: Filter to bpillar_quartile IN (1, 2) for pace analysis in races
✅ ALTERNATIVE: Use lap_time_driver_quartile IN (1, 2) for non-race sessions
❌ AVOID: Including quartiles 3 and 4 when analyzing true pace
The bpillar_quartile column (race sessions only) intelligently filters laps:
By filtering to bpillar_quartile IN (1, 2), you get only clean, representative racing pace.
While lap times aren't comparable across sessions, these analyses ARE valid:
⚠️ Still not valid: Averaging lap times across different sessions, even with quartile filtering. Each session must be analyzed independently first.
Example valid cross-session query:
-- Races participated by driver (not comparing lap times!)
SELECT
driver_name,
COUNT(DISTINCT session_id) as race_count,
COUNT(DISTINCT event) as unique_venues,
STRING_AGG(DISTINCT event, ', ' ORDER BY event) as events_raced
FROM laps
WHERE year = '2025'
AND session = 'race'
GROUP BY driver_name
ORDER BY race_count DESC;
driver_id (VARCHAR) for stable identification across name variants-- First, identify the session_id you want to analyze
SELECT
session_id,
year,
event,
session,
start_date,
COUNT(*) as total_laps,
COUNT(DISTINCT class) as classes
FROM laps
WHERE year = '2025'
AND event = 'Sebring'
AND session = 'race' -- almost always race
GROUP BY session_id, year, event, session, start_date
ORDER BY start_date;
-- driver_id is a string like 'firstname lastname' - look up by name first
SELECT DISTINCT driver_id, driver_name
FROM laps
WHERE driver_name LIKE '%Beche%' -- partial match
ORDER BY driver_name;
Always use this macro for human-readable times:
CREATE OR REPLACE MACRO format_time(t) AS (
CASE
WHEN t > 3600 THEN STRFTIME('%H:%M:%S', MAKE_TIMESTAMP(CAST(t * 1000000 AS BIGINT))) || '.' || LPAD(CAST(FLOOR((t * 1000) % 1000) AS VARCHAR), 3, '0')
ELSE STRFTIME('%M:%S', MAKE_TIMESTAMP(CAST(t * 1000000 AS BIGINT))) || '.' || LPAD(CAST(FLOOR((t * 1000) % 1000) AS VARCHAR), 3, '0')
END
