From the source SKILL.md

Data science operates on people's data, affects people's lives, and encodes human decisions into automated systems. Ethics in data science is not an afterthought or a compliance checkbox -- it is a design requirement. Ruha Benjamin's concept of the "New Jim Code" names the reality that automated systems can reproduce and amplify existing social inequalities while appearing objective. This skill covers the principles, frameworks, and practices that make ethical data science concrete and actionable.

What this skill does
