copying-metric-data
Use this skill when a user wants to create a Pigment metric-to-metric copy import/config to freeze formula values, reduce recalculation, seed/refresh a metric, stage validated data, prepare export metrics, or copy data between metrics. It cannot run, schedule, delete, update existing configs, use snapshots/recovered apps, or configure selective mappings. Do NOT use for CSV/file imports or formulas.
Install
With your agent
Install OMGSkills skill "gopigment/ai-plugins:skills/copying-metric-data" into this agent's normal skills directory: call the OMGSkills MCP get_install_plan tool for your agent and run the script it returns (it installs only the pinned commit and verifies SKILL.md), and stop if MCP or the pin is unavailable. Do not overwrite or change existing skills without asking me.

Copying Metric Data This skill helps with metric-to-metric copy configurations: saved Pigment imports that copy populated values from a source metric into a target metric with matching dimensions and data type. Use it to recognize common Metric-to-Metric import intents, then create a supported saved configuration when the current tool surface is sufficient. When to Use This Skill Reduce recalculations - Copy values into a metric that updates only when the saved import is run, so downstream calculations do not need to stay connected in real time. Freeze formula values as inputs - Copy formula-calculated values into a target metric so they become stable imported values. Seed or refresh a metric - Populate a target metric from another metric with the same dimensions and data type. Validate staged data before connecting it - Import external data into a staging metric, let users review it, then create a copy config from the staging metric to the connected target metric.
