From the source SKILL.md

Data wrangling is the work that sits between raw data and analysis -- the unglamorous, indispensable practice of making data trustworthy. Estimates vary, but practitioners consistently report that 60-80% of analysis time is spent wrangling. This skill covers the principles and techniques of data cleaning, transformation, reshaping, and integration, grounded in Hadley Wickham's tidy data framework and extended to the realities of messy real-world datasets.
