Reference for querying the Atlas knowledge graph through its MCP tools — the SECONDARY enrichment/comparison layer that adds best-practice context to systems you have ALREADY scanned from your real sources (`az`, repos, dirs). Use when you need to look up nodes, edges, kinds, clusters, stats, or wiki pages in Atlas to compare against your real inventory. (atlas graph, query atlas, atlas mcp, search the graph, graph neighbors, atlas record, atlas kinds, enrichment layer)
Atlas turns your STATED NEED into a real systems atlas by SCANNING your actual sources (Azure via `az`, git repos, local dirs) and process/data mining them, THEN enriching against the Atlas knowledge graph. Use this skill when asked to inventory/map your real systems, scan your cloud + repos + directories, mine the real processes or data they contain, or collect their real constraints/gotchas. (atlas, scan my systems, inventory our azure account, map my repos, real systems atlas, process mining, data mining, collect nuances, system discovery)
assimilate-popular-workflows This skill should be used when the user asks to "find skills in the wild", "assimilate popular workflows", "discover SKILL.md files in repos", "research external skills", "find workflow patterns", "survey the skill landscape", "what skills exist out there", or wants to investigate public repositories for extractable processes, babysitter plugins, and reusable procedural insights. Searches GitHub for SKILL.md files, classifies repos by archetype, and maintains structured research under docs/reference-repos/.

Understanding of probability distributionsCapabilities
1. Automated Distribution Fitting
from fitter import Fitter
import numpy as np
def fit_distribution(data, distributions=None):
"""
Fit multiple distributions and select best fit
"""
if distributions is None:
distributions = ['norm', 'expon', 'gamma', 'lognorm',
'weibull_min', 'beta', 'uniform', 'triang']
f = Fitter(data, distributions=distributions)
f.fit()
summary = f.summary()
best = f.get_best(method='sumsquare_error')
return {
"best_distribution": list(best.keys())[0],
"parameters": best,
"summary": summary.to_dict(),
"all_fits": f.fitted_param
}
2. Goodness-of-Fit Testing
from scipy import stats
import numpy as np
def goodness_of_fit_tests(data, distribution, params):
"""
Perform multiple goodness-of-fit tests
"""
results = {}
ks_stat, ks_pvalue = stats.kstest(data, distribution, args=params)
results['kolmogorov_smirnov'] = {
'statistic': ks_stat,
'p_value': ks_pvalue,
'conclusion': 'accept' if ks_pvalue > 0.05 else 'reject'
}
observed, bins = np.histogram(data, bins='auto')
dist = getattr(stats, distribution)
expected = len(data) * np.diff(dist.cdf(bins, *params))
mask = expected >= 5
chi2_stat, chi2_pvalue = stats.chisquare(
observed[mask], expected[mask]
)
results['chi_square'] = {
'statistic': chi2_stat,
'p_value': chi2_pvalue,
'degrees_of_freedom': sum(mask) - len(params) - 1
}
if distribution in ['norm', 'expon', 'gumbel', 'logistic']:
ad_result = stats.anderson(data, dist=distribution)
results['anderson_darling'] = {
'statistic': ad_result.statistic,
'critical_values': dict(zip(
['15%', '10%', '5%', '2.5%', '1%'],
ad_result.critical_values
))
}
return results
3. Maximum Likelihood Estimation
from scipy.optimize import minimize
from scipy import stats
def mle_fit(data, distribution):
"""
Fit distribution using maximum likelihood
"""
dist = getattr(stats, distribution)
bounds = get_parameter_bounds(distribution)
def neg_log_likelihood(params):
return -np.sum(dist.logpdf(data, *params))
x0 = get_initial_params(data, distribution)
result = minimize(neg_log_likelihood, x0, bounds=bounds,
method='L-BFGS-B')
from scipy.optimize import approx_fprime
hessian = np.zeros((len(result.x), len(result.x)))
epsilon = 1e-5
for i in range(len(result.x)):
hessian[i] = approx_fprime(result.x,
lambda p: approx_fprime(p, neg_log_likelihood, epsilon)[i],
epsilon)
se = np.sqrt(np.diag(np.linalg.inv(hessian)))
return {
"distribution": distribution,
"parameters": result.x.tolist(),
"standard_errors": se.tolist(),
"log_likelihood": -result.fun,
"aic": 2 * len(result.x) + 2 * result.fun,
"bic": len(result.x) * np.log(len(data)) + 2 * result.fun
}
4. Inter-arrival Time Analysis
def analyze_interarrival_times(timestamps):
"""
Analyze inter-arrival times from timestamp data
"""
timestamps = np.array(timestamps)
interarrivals = np.diff(timestamps)
stats_summary = {
"count": len(interarrivals),
"mean": np.mean(interarrivals),
"std": np.std(interarrivals),
"cv": np.std(interarrivals) / np.mean(interarrivals),
"min": np.min(interarrivals),
"max": np.max(interarrivals),
"median": np.median(interarrivals)
}
exp_params = stats.expon.fit(interarrivals, floc=0)
ks_stat, ks_pvalue = stats.kstest(interarrivals, 'expon', args=exp_params)
is_poisson = ks_pvalue > 0.05 and 0.8 < stats_summary['cv'] < 1.2
fit_result = fit_distribution(interarrivals)
return {
"statistics": stats_summary,
"poisson_process_test": {
"ks_statistic": ks_stat,
"p_value": ks_pvalue,
"cv_test": stats_summary['cv'],
"is_poisson": is_poisson

"best_fit": fit_result,
"arrival_rate": 1 / stats_summary['mean']
}
5. Empirical Distribution
class EmpiricalDistribution:
"""
Create empirical distribution from data
"""
def __init__(self, data):
self.data = np.sort(data)
self.n = len(data)
self.ecdf = np.arange(1, self.n + 1) / self.n
def cdf(self, x):
"""Cumulative distribution function"""
return np.searchsorted(self.data, x, side='right') / self.n
def ppf(self, q):
"""Percent point function (inverse CDF)"""
idx = int(q * self.n)
return self.data[min(idx, self.n - 1)]
def sample(self, size=1):
"""Generate random samples"""
u = np.random.uniform(0, 1, size)
return np.array([self.ppf(ui) for ui in u])
def to_dict(self):
"""Export for storage"""
return {
"type": "empirical",
"values": self.data.tolist(),
"probabilities": self.ecdf.tolist()
}

def compare_distributions(data, candidates):
"""

"""
results = []
for dist_name in candidates:
try:
dist = getattr(stats, dist_name)
params = dist.fit(data)
ll = np.sum(dist.logpdf(data, *params))
k = len(params)
n = len(data)
aic = 2 * k - 2 * ll
bic = k * np.log(n) - 2 * ll
ks_stat, ks_pvalue = stats.kstest(data, dist_name, args=params)
results.append({
"distribution": dist_name,
"parameters": params,
"log_likelihood": ll,
"aic": aic,
"bic": bic,
"ks_statistic": ks_stat,

Best Practices
- Visualize first - Always plot histograms and Q-Q plots
- Consider theory - Choose distributions based on process
- Test multiple - Compare several candidate distributions
- Check tails - Extreme values matter for simulation
- Document choice - Record rationale for selected distribution
- Update periodically - Re-fit as new data becomes available
Constraints
- Report goodness-of-fit statistics, not just parameters
- Document data collection methodology
- Consider censored or truncated data
- Test for time-varying parameters
