## SKILL.md

If an argument (variable name) is provided:
1. Call `stata_inspect_data(action="codebook", query=<variable>)` and display the codebook output.

If no argument is provided:
1. Call `stata_inspect_data(action="describe")` — display the dataset structure (obs, vars, types, labels).
2. Call `stata_inspect_data(action="summary")` — display descriptive statistics (N, mean, sd, min, max).
3. Present both results in a clear, readable format.

If either call returns an error indicating no data in memory, tell the user to load data first (e.g., `/stata-run sysuse auto, clear` or `stata_load_data("auto")`).
