Document a dataset so others know what it is, how it was made, and when not to use it. Use when asked to write a datasheet for a dataset, document training/eval data, or assess whether a dataset is fit for a use. Produces a datasheet — motivation, composition, collection process, preprocessing, recommended uses & limits, distribution, and maintenance.
📚 Based on Datasheets for Datasets (Gebru et al., 2018)
What to give it
▸Dataset name, version, owner — and what it's used for today.
▸Motivation — why it was created and for what task.
▸Composition — what an instance is, how many, fields/labels, and time range.
▸Collection — sources, method (scraped, logged, purchased, annotated), and consent/licensing basis.
▸Known issues — gaps, imbalances, label noise, sensitive attributes, duplicates.
✅ The bar it holds itself to
Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.
✓The collection method and **legal/consent basis** are stated — not assumed
✓Class balance and key distribution skews are quantified, not hand-waved
✓Sensitive attributes (and proxies for them) are identified explicitly
✓"Do not use for" lists concrete tasks where the data would mislead
✓Label provenance is documented (who labelled, with what guidelines, and agreement level)
✓An owner and update/error-reporting process are named
⚠️ What it refuses to do
Do not describe only the happy-path contents — the gaps, skews, and noise are what cause model failures
Do not omit the consent/licensing basis — "we scraped it" is a legal and ethical liability if undocumented
Do not ignore proxy variables — removing race/gender columns doesn't remove the bias if zip code or name encodes it
Do not present label quality as perfect — state who labelled it and the agreement rate, or note it's unmeasured
Do not leave the dataset ownerless — an unmaintained dataset silently rots as the world changes
