At a glance

Performs deep analysis of a specific Amplitude chart to explain trends, anomalies, and likely drivers.

  • Works in 6 steps: Identify the Chart → Retrieve and Validate Chart Data… → Identify the Pattern and Change Window → …
  • A metric looks unusual
  • SKILL.md covers When to Use, Instructions and Best Practices
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Analyze Chart is an agent skill from amplitude/builder-skills. Performs deep analysis of a specific Amplitude chart to explain trends, anomalies, and likely drivers. Use when a metric looks unusual, investigating a spike or drop, or understanding the "why" behind numbers.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Data & Analytics. The repository describes itself as: Open-source AI skills for product managers — battle-tested by PMs at Amplitude.

When your agent uses it

  • A metric looks unusual
  • Investigating a spike
  • Understanding the why behind numbers

Example prompts

  • “Use the analyze-chart skill to perform deep analysis of a specific Amplitude chart to explain trends, anomalies, and likely drivers”
  • “/analyze-chart”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Identify the Chart
  2. Retrieve and Validate Chart Data (Mandatory)
  3. Identify the Pattern and Change Window
  4. Investigate Likely Drivers (Bounded)
  5. Correlate with Context (Required for Anomalies)
  6. Synthesize Findings

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 51838c2. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Analyze Chart loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 56 tokens; SKILL.md has 547 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~56
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 547 words (~1,141 tokens).

name
analyze-chart
suggest_when
User asks "why did this metric move", "explain this chart", shares a chart URL, or wants to investigate a spike, drop, or anomaly in a specific metric.
