Data Science CLI

Data Science on the Command Line

Color: #2518AA (deep indigo)
Trit: -1 (MINUS - validation/analysis)

Overview

Unix command-line tools for data science workflows. Filesystem changes tracked by color for retrieval.

Filesystem Change Operations by Color

Core Tools

Data Acquisition (+1 Generator)

curl -sL URL | jq .                    # Fetch JSON
wget -qO- URL                          # Stream download
cat file.csv                           # Read local

Data Transformation (0 Coordinator)

# CSV processing
csvkit: csvcut, csvgrep, csvsort, csvjoin
miller (mlr): mlr --csv filter/cut/sort

# JSON processing  
jq '.[] | select(.field > 10)'
gron file.json | grep pattern | gron -u

# Text streams
awk -F',' '{print $1, $3}'
sed 's/old/new/g'
cut -d',' -f1,3
sort -t',' -k2 -n
uniq -c

Data Validation (-1 Validator)

wc -l file.csv                         # Row count
head -1 file.csv | tr ',' '\n' | nl    # Schema
csvstat file.csv                       # Statistics
datamash -t',' mean 2 < file.csv       # Aggregates

Pipeline Patterns

ETL Pipeline (GF(3) = 0)

# +1: Extract
curl -s api.example.com/data |
# 0: Transform  
jq '.items[]' |
# -1: Load/Validate
tee output.json | wc -l

Filesystem Watch + Log

# Track changes with fswatch + color tagging
fswatch -0 /path | while read -d '' event; do
  trit=$(echo "$event" | shasum | cut -c1)
  case $trit in
    [0-5]) color="warm";;   # +1
    [6-a]) color="neutral";; # 0
    [b-f]) color="cold";;    # -1
  esac
  echo "[$color] $event" >> fs_changes.log
done

DuckDB Integration

# Query CSV directly
duckdb -c "SELECT * FROM 'data.csv' WHERE col > 10"

# Parquet conversion
duckdb -c "COPY (SELECT * FROM 'data.csv') TO 'data.parquet'"

# Time-travel queries (with temporal versioning)
duckdb fs_changes.duckdb <<SQL
  SELECT * FROM changes 
  WHERE timestamp > now() - INTERVAL '1 hour'
  ORDER BY timestamp DESC
SQL

Color-Indexed Retrieval

# Find all +1 (create) operations
grep '\[warm\]' fs_changes.log

# Find all -1 (delete/filter) operations  
grep '\[cold\]' fs_changes.log

# GF(3) conservation check
awk '/warm/{w++}/neutral/{n++}/cold/{c++} END{print (w-c)%3}' fs_changes.log

Triad Bundle

duck-agent (-1) ⊗ data-science-cli (-1) ⊗ ??? (+2)

Needs +2 to balance — combine with two +1 skills or one +1 generator.

Skill Name: data-science-cli
