feat(data-analysis): data-quality-auditor
Adds a new data-quality-auditor skill with three stdlib-only Python tools: - data_profiler.py: full dataset profile with DQS (0-100) across 5 dimensions - missing_value_analyzer.py: MCAR/MAR/MNAR classification + imputation strategies - outlier_detector.py: IQR, Z-score, and Modified Z-score (MAD) outlier detection Validator: 86.4/100 (GOOD). Security audit: PASS (0 critical/high). Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

iqr — Interquartile Range (robust, non-parametric, default)

zscore — Standard Z-score (assumes normal distribution)

mzscore — Modified Z-score via Median Absolute Deviation (robust to skew)

Usage:
|

python3 outlier_detector.py --file data.csv

python3 outlier_detector.py --file data.csv --method iqr

python3 outlier_detector.py --file data.csv --method zscore --threshold 2.5
