dataguard-cli 0.1.1

A fast, modular CLI tool for data quality analysis, profiling, and cleaning using Polars and Rich.

DataGuard CLI

DataGuard CLI is a fast, modular data quality tool that helps developers validate, analyze, and clean datasets before using them in analytics or machine learning pipelines.

Built with Polars, Rich, and Typer, it provides a powerful command-line interface for profiling datasets and detecting issues such as missing values, duplicates, and inconsistent formats.

🏗️ Architecture

CLI → Commands → Core Engine → Rules → UI

• CLI: Typer-based command interface
• Core: Rule engine and processing logic
• UI: Rich-based rendering
• Config: YAML-driven rules

💡 Why DataGuard?

Data quality issues are a major cause of:

• incorrect analytics
• unreliable ML models
• pipeline failures

DataGuard provides a lightweight and extensible way to enforce data validation before downstream usage.

---

🔮 Future Improvements

• Schema validation support
• ML-based anomaly detection
• Integration with data pipelines (Airflow, etc.)
• Plugin-based rule system
