dt-ai-toolkit 0.1.3

Data-team toolkit for building, interacting with, and improving data projects with coding agents

dt-ai-toolkit

A CLI that gets a whole data team working with coding agents the same way.

If your team uses Claude Code for data work, every teammate ends up solving the same problems by hand: how to lay out a project so an agent can work in it, which skills to give the agent, how to run repeatable agent workflows, and how to turn analysis into a polished PDF. dt-ai-toolkit packages those answers into one installable tool — run dat setup in a fresh directory and a teammate gets the same agent-ready project, curated skills, and report pipeline as everyone else.

What it does

• Scaffolds agent-ready data projects — standard folders (data/, reports/, sandbox/), a managed .gitignore, and tool installs, customizable per team via a TOML profile.
• Installs curated Agent Skills — a bundled set focused on data honesty (profiling datasets before trusting them, critiquing charts and talking points), plus install from any local folder or git repo, with provenance tracking.
• Runs agent workflows — repeatable flows via the Claude Agent SDK, defined as plain markdown files with YAML frontmatter. Bundled flows included; write your own in minutes.
• Generates real reports — scaffolds a React TSX → HTML → PDF pipeline so agent output can ship as a formatted document, not a wall of markdown.
• Evaluates skills & agents in a gym — run curated tasks against a skill or agent in an isolated sandbox, score the transcript with an LLM judge, or A/B two targets head-to-head (dat gym run / dat gym ab / dat gym manage). Makes real API calls.
• Keeps everyone unblocked — dat doctor checks the whole environment (uv, git, claude CLI, auth, bun, playwright) and dat docs is a built-in interactive docs browser.

Agents, skills, and setup profiles live in a local SQLite database, so teams can inspect, edit, back up, and share their configuration (dat db info, dat agent backup / restore, and the same for skills and profiles).

Install

# no install needed — run it straight from PyPI
uvx dt-ai-toolkit --help

# or install it once and get the short `dat` command
uv tool install dt-ai-toolkit

# prefer not to install? alias `dat` to uvx in your shell config instead
uvx dt-ai-toolkit alias

Requires Python 3.11+ and uv. Every dat ... command below also works as uvx dt-ai-toolkit ....

Quickstart

dat db setup       # one-time: create the toolkit database, seed bundled content

mkdir my-project && cd my-project
dat setup          # folders + gitignore + installs Claude Code & omnigent
dat doctor         # verify the environment
dat docs           # interactive docs browser

Commands

command	what it does
setup	Scaffold a data project (data/, reports/, sandbox/, managed .gitignore block) and install tooling. Customizable via a dt-setup.toml profile (setup config init).
skills	Install Agent Skills into .claude/skills/ from the curated set, a local folder, or a git repo. list / install / update with provenance tracking.
agent	Run agent flows via the Claude Agent SDK: bundled sourcing-report and project-review, or your own frontmatter-markdown agent files.
report	Scaffold the React TSX → HTML/PDF report pipeline (report new <name>).
gym	Evaluate, run, and A/B test skills & agents against curated tasks with an LLM judge (gym run / gym ab / gym manage).
db	Manage the toolkit database — the source of truth for agents, skills, and setup profiles. setup / info / path / upgrade-backup.
doctor	Check the environment: uv, git, claude CLI, omnigent, auth, bun, playwright.
alias	Write a dat alias into your shell config (bash, zsh, fish, PowerShell) so dat works without a tool install.
docs	Browse documentation — an interactive TUI, or --plain / show <topic> / export for non-interactive use.

Bundled skills

The curated skills lean toward data honesty — making sure what an agent (or you) produces can survive scrutiny:

• interrogate-data — structured protocol for profiling and stress-testing a dataset before trusting it
• critique-talking-points — adversarial claim-by-claim review of narratives before they ship
• critique-visualization — chart-honesty review, including re-deriving plotted values from source data
• tsx-report-generator — walks Claude through the full TSX → HTML/PDF report pipeline
• dt-setup-config — helps Claude build a custom dt-setup.toml for your team
• dt-ai-toolkit — meta skill teaching Claude how to call this CLI itself (uvx dt-ai-toolkit ...)
• grill-me — Socratic quiz rounds that test your understanding of a dataset, pipeline, or report before someone else does

dat skills list --available
dat skills install interrogate-data

Custom agent flows

Agents are markdown files with YAML frontmatter — config on top, prompt below, {placeholders} filled from the command line:

---
name: data-audit
description: Audit a dataset for quality issues
allowed_tools: [Read, Glob, Grep, Bash]
args:
  data_path: {required: true}
---
Audit the dataset at {data_path}. Cite the query behind every finding.

dat agent run data-audit.md --arg data_path=data/sales.csv
dat agent run sourcing-report --arg topic="Q3 readmissions" --dry-run

Development

uv sync
uv run pytest
uv run dat --help
