80 / 100 · Low risk

Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a data skill usually connects to databases or online services with your credentials.

By franklee16/academic-research-skills (GitHub) · data · 234 stars · scanned at commit 9a4b2db

Downloads data from publicly accessible databases (FRED, World Bank, Yahoo Finance, Kaggle, etc.) or REST APIs by generating and executing custom Python scripts. Use when the user wants to "download data" from a specific source or URL.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'universal-data-loader' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'universal-data-loader' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named universal-data-loader already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/franklee16/academic-research-skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '9a4b2db21fc4b217136ae4a0e6faad42d179ca03' -- 'data-sourcing/universal-data-loader' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'data-sourcing/universal-data-loader' ~/.agents/skills/'universal-data-loader' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'universal-data-loader' ~/.claude/skills/'universal-data-loader' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
