The paper introduces the Scientific Data Skill (SciDSK), an agent‑ready representation that packages dataset‑specific knowledge and operational guidance as a reusable skill. SciDSK integrates dataset descriptions, scientific context, file organization, usage procedures, quality checks, and provenance information while keeping the data in its original repository. The authors define a structured specification, build a construction pipeline, and launch the Scientific Data Skill Bank to publish SciDSK resources across six scientific disciplines, demonstrating improved agent‑driven dataset discovery and interpretation through evaluation benchmarks.
