Execution skill. Load it before the first \`create\_metric\` or \`bulk\_update\_metrics\` call; never create or change a metric without loading it first. Use when creating metrics or tables, selecting metric data types, or finalizing metric structure.

## Install

```sh
git clone https://github.com/gopigment/ai-plugins /tmp/ai-plugins && ln -s /tmp/ai-plugins/skills/creating-metrics-and-tables ~/.claude/skills/creating-metrics-and-tables
```

## From README

Creating Metrics and Tables A metric is a sparse multidimensional grid: dimensions define the axes, each cell holds one value per combination. Metrics are input, formula-driven, or imported. Whether a given dataset belongs in a metric, a transaction list or a dimension is settled in skill:understanding-pigment-modeling before you get here. Workflow Resolve the dimension IDs. Every structural dimension must already exist and be populated. Look them up with tool:searchmetricsandlists; never pass a guessed ID. If a dimension is missing, create it first (skill:creating-dimensions-and-hierarchies). Pick the structure. See Choose the Grain below. Only dimension lists and their subsets can be structural. Pick the data type. Number for quantitative measures and the default for planning; Date for per-cell dates; Text for descriptive content; Dimension for a categorical lookup per cell; Boolean for per-cell flags. Pick the default aggregators in the same call.
