Computational Data Pipelines Testing

# Computational Data Pipelines Testing Skill

## Overview
This skill enables testing in the domain of data-pipelines (data-science). It represents fundamental-level expertise and is designed for production use in research, industry, and educational contexts.

## Description
Use this skill when you need to perform testing operations related to data-pipelines. This includes tasks such as:
- visualize data
- predict outcomes
- extract features

The skill leverages visualization libraries and follows best practices established in the data-science community.

## Trigger Conditions
This skill should be activated when:
1. The user explicitly requests testing in the context of data-pipelines
2. The task requires fundamental-level understanding of data-science principles
3. The output needs to be data visualizations
4. The work involves data-pipelines methodologies or techniques

## Key Capabilities
- **Domain Expertise**: Deep understanding of data-pipelines principles and methods
- **Practical Application**: Ability to apply testing techniques to real-world problems
- **Quality Assurance**: Validation and verification of results using data-science standards
- **Tool Proficiency**: Effective use of statistical software
- **Documentation**: Clear explanation of methods, assumptions, and limitations

## Usage Guidelines
1. **Input Requirements**: Clearly specify the problem parameters and constraints
2. **Methodology**: Follow established data-pipelines protocols and best practices
3. **Validation**: Verify results against known benchmarks or theoretical predictions
4. **Documentation**: Provide comprehensive explanations of all steps and decisions
5. **Iteration**: Refine approach based on intermediate results and feedback

## Output Format
The skill produces data visualizations in standardized formats appropriate for data-science applications. Outputs include:
- Detailed technical analysis
- Numerical results with uncertainty quantification
