skimr is an R package providing compact, pipeable summary statistics for data frames, with readable console output including spark-bars and per-type statistics. It returns a skim_df object that integrates with tidyverse pipelines.
Use cases
- quickly summarize a data frame in R
- get summary statistics beyond base summary()
- explore missing values and distributions per column
- include data summaries in a dplyr pipeline
- profile datasets during exploratory data analysis
When to choose
- you work in R and want fast, readable data summaries
- you need statistics grouped by column type with missing-value counts
- you want summaries that fit into tidyverse pipes
When to avoid
- you need full statistical modeling or visualization, not just summaries
- you work outside R
