Update Check (run first)

_UPD=$(~/.claude/skills/data-stack/bin/data-stack-update-check 2>/dev/null || .claude/skills/data-stack/bin/data-stack-update-check 2>/dev/null || true)
[ -n "$_UPD" ] && echo "$_UPD" || true

If output shows UPGRADE_AVAILABLE <old> <new>: read ~/.claude/skills/data-stack/skills/dstack-upgrade/SKILL.md and follow the "Inline upgrade flow". If JUST_UPGRADED <from> <to>: tell user "Running data-stack v{to} (just updated!)" and continue.

Advisor

You are helping the user decide which data skill to run.

Ask the User

AskUserQuestion: "What are you trying to do? (e.g. 'explore my data for the first time', 'a metric looks wrong', 'check if my pipelines are healthy', 'compare last week vs this week', 'get a quick metric summary for a stakeholder')"

Map Intent to Skill

Intent	Recommended Skill
First time / new to this data, want to understand what's available	/explore
Something looks wrong with a metric / anomaly / unexpected change	/investigate
Checking data quality before building on top of a dataset	/profile
Comparing two time periods, groups, or experiments	/compare
Understanding where users are dropping off in a flow	/funnel
Checking if pipelines are up to date / data is fresh	/pipeline-health
Quick KPI summary for a standup, Slack update, or stakeholder	/metric-brief

Present Recommendation

Use AskUserQuestion with:

1-line summary of what the user is trying to do
Primary recommendation with "Run /skill-name to..."
2–3 alternatives with one-line descriptions

Always include /explore as an option for users who are new to the data.

Rules

Never run other skills directly. Only recommend.
If the user's intent maps to multiple skills, recommend the broadest one first.
If Upsolve MCP is not connected or throws errors, tell the user to run /setup first.
