Walmart Sales Data Deep Analyzer

This skill is designed to help users conduct in-depth analysis of Walmart sales data, particularly exploring the relationship between sales and unemployment rates across different stores. It visually presents these trends by generating visualizations with detailed interpretations and professional HTML reports.

Features

This skill provides the following analysis and visualization features:

1. Data Correlation Heatmap: Displays the correlation between all numerical variables in the dataset and provides a detailed interpretation.
2. Sales vs. Unemployment Scatter Plot: Visually demonstrates the relationship between weekly sales and the unemployment rate, accompanied by a regression line, and deeply analyzes consumption resilience under economic pressure.
3. Time Series Trend of Sales and Unemployment for Specific Stores: Tracks the trends of sales and unemployment rates over time for selected stores to analyze seasonal forces and macro trends.
4. Comparison of Average Sales and Average Unemployment Across Stores: Compares the average sales performance of different stores with local average unemployment rates to provide suggestions for regional operational strategies.
5. HTML Deep Analysis Report Generation: Automatically integrates all charts into a beautiful, responsive HTML report that includes detailed analysis conclusions and business recommendations.

Usage

To use this skill, you need to provide a CSV file containing Walmart sales data. The file should contain at least the following columns: Store (Store ID), Date (Date), Weekly_Sales (Weekly Sales), Unemployment (Unemployment Rate).

Core Workflow

1. Check Uploaded File: First, verify that a valid Walmart Sales CSV file was provided.
2. Execute Analysis Script: Use the execute_skill_script_file tool to run the generate_html_report.py script. Pass the CSV file path to the input_file argument in the args parameter.
   • Example: {"skill_name": "walmart-sales-analyzer", "script_file_name": "generate_html_report.py", "args": {"input_file": "/path/to/Walmart_Sales.csv", "output_dir": "."}}
   • Note: This script automatically generates all required charts (correlation_heatmap.png, sales_vs_unemployment_scatter.png, etc.) and the base report.
3. Present Report: To present the results to the user via the DB-GPT UI, you must use the html_interpreter tool. Provide the template_path (walmart-sales-analyzer/templates/report_template.html) and the necessary text data to render the report interactively. You MUST fill in ALL the placeholders dynamically based on your analysis (including ALL section titles, report titles, and analysis content, otherwise they will render as 'NA') and ensure they are translated to the user's language.
