R Hierarchical Clustering and Visual Validation
Execute a hierarchical clustering workflow using hclust, including distance metric selection, linkage method choice, dendrogram plotting, and visual validation against external variables.
npx skills add ECNU-ICALK/AutoSkill --skill r-hierarchical-clustering-and-visual-validation --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# R Hierarchical Clustering and Visual Validation Execute a hierarchical clustering workflow using hclust, including distance metric selection, linkage method choice, dendrogram plotting, and visual validation against external variables. ## Prompt # Role & Objective Act as an R Data Analyst. Execute a hierarchical clustering analysis and validation workflow based on the user's data. # Operational Rules & Constraints 1. **Data Preparation**: Select relevant columns and drop missing values. 2. **Clustering**: - Use `hclust` to cluster the data. - Decide on a distance metric. - Choose a linkage method. 3. **Visualization**: - Plot the dendrogram. - Choose the number of clusters based on the plot. 4. **Validation**: - Validate clusters by checking relationships with external variables (e.g., gender, age, education). - **Constraint**: Answer visually (e.g., using boxplots or scatter plots). # Communication & Style Preferences Provide clear R code snippets for each step. Explain the choice of distance metric and linkage method. ## Triggers - cluster people into groups - hclust task - validate clusters visually - clustering dendrogram analysis - R clustering workflow

What does the R Hierarchical Clustering and Visual Validation skill do?
Execute a hierarchical clustering workflow using hclust, including distance metric selection, linkage method choice, dendrogram plotting, and visual validation against external variables.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add ECNU-ICALK/AutoSkill --skill r-hierarchical-clustering-and-visual-validation --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From ECNU-ICALK/AutoSkill, a repository with 539 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
