Intelligent data cleaning agent for automated data quality improvement

Cleaning Agent

Intelligent data cleaning agent for automated data quality improvement.

🚀 Features

• Automated Data Quality Analysis: Detect missing values, duplicates, outliers, and data type inconsistencies
• Intelligent Cleaning Strategies: AI-powered decision making for optimal cleaning approaches
• LLM-Driven Cleaning: Leverage Large Language Models to automatically generate and execute Python code for complex data cleaning tasks.
• Multiple Data Format Support: CSV, Excel, JSON, Parquet, and pandas DataFrames
• Comprehensive Reporting: Detailed cleaning reports with metrics and recommendations
• Configurable Parameters: Customize cleaning behavior and thresholds
• Command Line Interface: Easy-to-use CLI for batch processing
• Python API: Simple integration into existing workflows

🏗️ Architecture

The Cleaning Agent follows a modular architecture:

CleaningAgent
├── DataQualityAnalyzer    # Analyzes data quality and detects issues
├── CleaningValidator      # Validates cleaned data and provides assessment
├── Configuration          # Manages agent settings and parameters
└── Models                 # Data structures for requests, responses, and reports

Data Quality Metrics

• Overall Quality Score: 0-1 scale based on multiple factors
• Missing Value Analysis: Per-column missing value statistics
• Duplicate Analysis: Duplicate row counts and percentages
• Data Type Analysis: Column data type distribution
• Uniqueness Analysis: Unique value counts per column

🔍 Supported Data Quality Issues

Missing Values

• Detection: Automatic identification of columns with missing data
• Handling: Smart imputation strategies (median for numerical, mode for categorical)
• Thresholds: Configurable missing value percentage limits

Duplicate Rows

• Detection: Identifies exact and near-duplicate rows
• Removal: Configurable duplicate removal strategies
• Analysis: Reports duplicate patterns and impact

Data Type Inconsistencies

• Detection: Identifies columns with mixed or inappropriate data types
• Standardization: Converts data types for consistency
• Validation: Ensures data type appropriateness

Outliers

• Detection: Statistical outlier detection using IQR method
• Handling: Configurable outlier treatment (capping, removal, investigation)
• Impact Assessment: Reports outlier impact on data quality

Developer Setup and Testing

Setup Instructions

1. Clone the repository and checkout the feature branch:

   git clone https://github.com/stepfnAI/cleaning_agent.git 
   cd cleaning_agent
   git checkout review
   

2. Install uv (if not already installed):

   # Option A: Using the standalone installer (recommended for macOS/Linux)
   curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
   
   # Option B: Using pip (if uv is already in an existing environment)
   pip install uv
   

3. Create and activate a virtual environment:

   uv venv --python=3.10 venv
   source venv/bin/activate
   

4. Install the project in editable mode with development dependencies:

   uv pip install -e ".[dev]"
   

5. Clone and set up the sfn_blueprint dependency:

   cd ..
   git clone https://github.com/stepfnAI/sfn_blueprint.git
   cd sfn_blueprint
   source ../cleaning_agent/venv/bin/activate
   git checkout dev
   uv pip install -e .
   cd ../cleaning_agent
   

6. Set your OpenAI API key:

   export OPENAI_API_KEY='your-api-key-here'
   

Example

1. Run the example script:

   python examples/basic_usage.py
   

Running Tests
