# CSV Data Pipeline

Process tabular data (CSV, TSV, JSON, JSON Lines) using standard command-line tools and Python. No external dependencies required beyond Python 3.

## When to use this skill

- User provides a CSV/TSV/JSON file and asks to analyze, transform, or report on it
- Joining, filtering, grouping, or aggregating tabular data
- Converting between formats (CSV to JSON, JSON to CSV, etc.)
- Deduplicating, sorting, or cleaning messy data
- Generating summary statistics or reports
- ETL workflows: extract from one format, transform, load into another

## Scripts overview

| Script | Purpose | Dependencies |
|---|---|---|
| `csv_tool.py` | All-in-one CSV/JSON processing tool | Python 3 (stdlib only) |

## Steps

### 1. Ensure Python 3 is available

```bash
python --version
```

> **CRITICAL — Error Recovery**: If any script below fails with an error, check that Python 3 is available and re-run the exact same command.

### 2. Inspect a data file

```bash
python scripts/csv_tool.py inspect "DATA_FILE"
```

Shows row count, column names, and non-empty value counts per column.

### 3. Filter rows

```bash
python scripts/csv_tool.py filter "DATA_FILE" --column COLUMN_NAME --op OPERATOR --value VALUE --output "OUTPUT_FILE"
```

Operators: `eq`, `neq`, `gt`, `gte`, `lt`, `lte`, `contains`, `startswith`, `endswith`

### 4. Sort data

```bash
python scripts/csv_tool.py sort "DATA_FILE" --column COLUMN_NAME --order asc --output "OUTPUT_FILE"
```

Options: `--numeric` for numeric sorting, `--order desc` for descending.

### 5. Deduplicate

```bash
python scripts/csv_tool.py dedup "DATA_FILE" --columns "col1,col2" --output "OUTPUT_FILE"
```

Remove duplicates by specified columns (or all columns if omitted).

### 6. Aggregate / Group By

```bash
python scripts/csv_tool.py aggregate "DATA_FILE" --group-by COLUMN --agg-column VALUE_COL --func sum --output "OUTPUT_FILE"
```

Functions: `sum`, `avg`, `count`, `min`, `max`

### 7. Join two datasets

```bash
python scripts/csv_tool.py join "LEFT_FILE" "RIGHT_FILE" --on KEY_COLUMN --how inner --output "OUTPUT_FILE"
```

Join types: `inner`, `left`

### 8. Convert formats

```bash
python scripts/csv_tool.py convert "DATA_FILE" --to json --output "OUTPUT_FILE"
```

Supported conversions: `csv`, `json`, `jsonl` (JSON Lines), `tsv`

### 9. Generate summary report

```bash
python scripts/csv_tool.py report "DATA_FILE" --group-by CATEGORY_COL --value-column VALUE_COL --output "report.md"
```

Generates a Markdown summary table with count, sum, avg, min, max per group.

### 10. Clean data

```bash
python scripts/csv_tool.py clean "DATA_FILE" --output "CLEAN_FILE"
```

Strips whitespace, normalizes empty values (N/A, null, None → empty), normalizes booleans.

## Decision guide

1. **Quick look** → `inspect` to understand the data
2. **Filter/sort/dedup** → use the corresponding subcommand
3. **Summarize** → `aggregate` for raw data, `report` for Markdown output
4. **Combine files** → `join` two datasets on a shared key
5. **Change format** → `convert` between CSV/JSON/TSV

## Edge cases

- **Large files (100MB+)**: The tool processes data in streaming fashion where possible
- **Encoding issues**: Files are read as UTF-8 by default. For BOM files, use UTF-8-SIG
- **Quoted fields**: Python's csv module handles RFC 4180 quoting automatically
- **Mixed types**: Numeric operations attempt float conversion, falling back to 0
