datalad

datalad is a Data warehousing & modelling skill for AI agents, published by K-Dense-AI in the claude-scientific-skills repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates datalad C (77/100) and it passed the safety scan; a judge model has also reviewed it.

Retrieve, version, and publish scientific datasets with DataLad and git-annex, and capture computational provenance with datalad run, rerun, and containers-run. Use when cloning or fetching data from OpenNeuro, DANDI, datasets.datalad.org, or any DataLad dataset; when a file in a dataset reads as a broken symlink or a small pointer instead of real data; when an analysis needs a machine-readable record of how each output was produced so it can be re-executed; or when publishing a dataset to siblings such as a GitHub repository plus a storage remote. Also use to decide between DataLad and plain Git for a data-carrying repository.

Exceptionally concrete, battle-tested guidance, including a real pointer-vs-data failure walkthrough and precise licensing notes, that reads like it came from hard-won experience.
