# Dataset Curation Skill

Guide for inspecting, curating, and validating scientific datasets against FAIR data standards.

## Reference Guidelines

Consult ${pluginRoot}/assets/curation-guide.md for domain quality invariants and metadata checklists.

## Procedure

1. **Scan Dataset Directory**: Use `ls` and `find` to map all data files and metadata descriptors.
2. **Review Metadata**: Verify existence of licensing, provenance records, and format declarations.
3. **Inspect Content**: Verify column names, missing-value sentinels, and unit definitions against the curation guidelines.
4. **Compile Assessment**: Report missing fields, format violations, and recommendations for FAIR compliance.
