What problem does it solve? Data science projects often fail from leakage, weak baselines, poor evaluation, and missing production handoff. This Skill provides structured, repeatable workflows that turn raw data and business questions into validated, documented models ready for deployment. ## Core Features & Use Cases - End-to-End DS Lifecycle: Covers problem framing, EDA with drift detection, feature engineering with leakage prevention, baseline-first model selection, and slice-based evaluation. - Production MLOps Patterns: Data contracts, lineage tracking, feature store hygiene, CI/CD/CT/CM pipelines, and production feedback loops with canary deployment. - Ready-Made References & Templates: Eleven operational guides (class imbalance, hyperparameter tuning, interpretability, streaming features) plus copy-paste templates for evaluation reports, model cards, and SQLMesh projects. - Use Case: You receive a churn dataset and need a defensible model. Follow the EDA checklist, build LightGBM baselines, tune with Optuna, run slice analysis, and deliver a model card with monitoring and retraining triggers. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to run an exploratory data analysis and build a baseline classification model on your dataset following this skill's workflow.
