Skill: dataset-card
Create a standardised dataset card for a data file used in this project.
Steps
1. Inspect the Dataset
- Read the file at the provided path (CSV or folder of CSVs).
- Extract: number of rows, columns, data types, sample values, missing value counts.
2. Fill the Template
Use the template at assets/dataset-card-template.md.
Populate each section with what you can infer from the file. For sections that require human input (origin, licence, known biases), leave a clear <!-- TODO: fill in --> placeholder.
3. Save the Card
- Write the completed card to
doc/dataset-card_<filename>.md.
- Do not overwrite an existing card — append a version note instead.
Output
A Markdown dataset card file saved to doc/, plus a chat summary of the key metadata found.
