What Data Scientist (data-scientist--subagent) is
Data Scientist (data-scientist--subagent) is a subagent published in the ccplugins/awesome-claude-code-plugins repository on GitHub, which has about 954 stars. The repository describes itself as: “Awesome Claude Code plugins — a curated list of slash commands, subagents, MCP servers, and hooks for Claude Code”
A subagent is a specialist assistant that Claude can hand part of a task to. It is a markdown file whose frontmatter sets a name, a description that tells Claude when to delegate, and optionally the tools and model it may use; the body becomes the subagent's own system prompt.
Because a subagent works in its own context, it keeps the main conversation focused: Claude can send a narrow job, such as a review or a specialised analysis, to Data Scientist and get back a compact result.
It is set up to use these tools: Bash, Read, Write. Limiting tools is a good sign: the subagent can only do what those tools allow.
How to install Data Scientist (data-scientist--subagent)
Claude Code
- Download data-scientist.md from the repository.
- Save it to ~/.claude/agents/ to use it in every project, or to .claude/agents/ inside one project to share it through version control.
- Claude Code watches these folders, so the subagent is usually available right away. Ask Claude to use it by name, or @-mention it to make sure it runs.
Claude Cowork
- Cowork loads subagents through plugins. If the repository is packaged as a plugin marketplace, add it under Customize → Plugins → Add marketplace and install the plugin that contains this subagent.

Before you install
- Read the whole file first. Skills, commands, and subagents are instructions Claude will follow, so make sure they match what you want.
- Check which tools, scripts, or MCP servers it uses. Local servers and scripts run with your permissions.
- Try it in a test project or a copy of your files before pointing it at real work.
- Pin the version you tested, and review changes before updating.
- Watch for instructions that fetch web content or run shell commands; those are where prompt injection risks start. See our prompt injection guide.
