About this skill
What it does. Guides parallel and distributed Python workflows with Dask DataFrames, Arrays, Bags and Futures. It covers lazy task graphs, chunking, scheduler selection, cluster execution, file processing, ETL, debugging and performance practices for larger-than-memory data.
When to use it. Use it to scale pandas or NumPy workloads, process many files, or distribute custom tasks across cores or machines. For single-machine out-of-core analytics, use Vaex; for in-memory speed, use Polars.
