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

```sh
git clone https://github.com/gopigment/ai-plugins /tmp/ai-plugins && ln -s /tmp/ai-plugins/skills/copying-metric-data ~/.claude/skills/copying-metric-data
```

## From README

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.
