Detecting Data Anomalies

Investigate outliers, rare events, spikes, and suspicious records in datasets. Use as an explicit anomaly-analysis helper when you want concrete anomaly-detection workflow guidance, not generic data validation or end-to-end ML ownership.

# Detecting Data Anomalies

## Positioning

Treat this skill as an explicit/manual helper.
In governed ML routing, anomaly-detection ownership normally belongs to `scikit-learn`.

## When to Use

Use this skill when:
- Reviewing outlier transactions, fraud candidates, sensor spikes, or rare failures
- Comparing isolation forest, one-class SVM, LOF, or threshold-based anomaly workflows
- Turning suspicious records into a shortlist for human inspection

## Not For / Boundaries

- Null/duplicate/schema/range validation: use `exploratory-data-analysis`
- Full model training or end-to-end pipeline ownership: use `scikit-learn` or `ml-pipeline-workflow`
- Publication-grade figure production: use `scientific-visualization`

## Typical Outputs

- Candidate anomaly-detection methods and thresholds
- A review checklist for false positives and false negatives
- Suggested tables or plots for the suspicious subset

## Related Skills

- `scikit-learn` as the governed routed owner for classical anomaly-detection workflows
- `creating-data-visualizations` after anomalies are identified

Ablation Planner

Use when main results pass result-to-claim (`claim_supported = yes` or `partial`) and ablation studies are needed for paper submission. A secondary Codex agent designs ablations from a reviewer's perspective; the local executor reviews feasibility and implements.

Adaptyv

How to use the Adaptyv Bio Foundry API and Python SDK for protein experiment design, submission, and results retrieval. Use this skill whenever the user mentions Adaptyv, Foundry API, protein binding assays, protein screening experiments, BLI/SPR assays, thermostability assays, or wants to submit protein sequences for experimental characterization. Also trigger when code imports `adaptyv`, `adaptyv_sdk`, or `FoundryClient`, or references `foundry-api-public.adaptyvbio.com`.
