# CSV Data Summarizer

This skill analyzes any CSV file and delivers a complete statistical summary with visualizations in one shot. It adapts intelligently to the type of data it finds — sales, customer, financial, operational, survey, or generic tabular data.

## When to Use This Skill

- User uploads or references a CSV file
- Asking to summarize, analyze, or visualize tabular data
- Requesting insights from a dataset
- Wanting to understand data structure and quality

## Behavior Rule

**Do not ask the user what they want. Immediately run the full analysis.**

When a CSV is provided, skip questions like "What would you like me to do?" and go straight to the analysis.

## Required Tools / Libraries

```bash
pip install pandas matplotlib seaborn
```

## How It Works

The skill inspects the data first, then automatically determines which analyses are relevant:

| Data type | Focus areas |
|-----------|-------------|
| Sales / e-commerce | Time-series trends, revenue, product performance |
| Customer data | Distributions, segmentation, geographic patterns |
| Financial | Trend analysis, statistics, correlations |
| Operational | Time-series, performance metrics, distributions |
| Survey | Frequency analysis, cross-tabulations |
| Generic | Adapts based on column types found |

Visualizations are only created when they make sense:
- Time-series plots → only if date/timestamp columns exist
- Correlation heatmaps → only if multiple numeric columns exist
- Category distributions → only if categorical columns exist
- Histograms → for numeric distributions when relevant

## Core Function

```python
