Examples:

Copy# Output to stdout
.opencode/skills/spss-file-metadata/run.sh blueprint.sav

# Save to file
.opencode/skills/spss-file-metadata/run.sh blueprint.sav metadata.json

What it does

Extracts metadata from SPSS .sav files without loading data rows (fast, memory efficient):

• Column names, labels, types, formats
• Value labels for categorical variables
• File properties (encoding, row/column counts)
• Missing value ranges

Uses pyreadstat with metadataonly=True. All dependencies pre-installed in virtual environment at .opencode/skills/spss-file-metadata/venv/.
