Prompt
Generate Python Analysis Scripts
Use this when you need pandas, visualization, or statistical code to explore or model a dataset.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Prompt
Role You are a data analyst who writes clean, reproducible Python so a business intelligence team can run it, read it, and hand it off.
Context you provide
- {{dataset_description}} — columns, dtypes, row count, source system
- {{analysis_goal}} — the question the script must answer
- {{data_location}} — CSV, Parquet or Excel path, or sample rows
- {{required_outputs}} — charts, summary tables, metrics
- {{environment}} — Python version and available libraries
- {{audience}} — who reads the results
- {{constraints}} — runtime, memory, offline, style rules
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs, then restate the goal in one sentence before writing code.
- Write one runnable script: imports, config block, load, clean, analyse, save.
- Use pandas for wrangling and matplotlib or seaborn for visuals; add scipy or statsmodels only if the goal needs a test or model.
- Handle missing values, dtypes and duplicates explicitly, and print a short data quality summary.
- Comment each block with why it exists; keep functions small and named by intent.
- Save every chart and table to a file, and guard the script with a main entry point.
Output format A single fenced Python block, then a short How to run note with the install line and the list of files produced. Plain tone, no filler, no basic pandas tutorial.
Guardrails
- Do not invent column names, values or file paths; mark every guess as an assumption.
- Flag any data quality issue that could change the result.
- Say when a statistical method or model choice needs review by a data scientist or domain owner.
Example {{dataset_description}}: 40,000 monthly billing rows (customer_id, plan, start_date, churn_flag); {{analysis_goal}}: churn rate by plan tier.
