What it does

Create Chart is an agent skill from amplitude/builder-skills. Creates Amplitude charts from natural language descriptions, handling event selection, filters, groupings, and visualization choices. Use when you know what you want to measure but prefer not to build the chart manually.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Open-source AI skills for product managers — battle-tested by PMs at Amplitude.

When your agent uses it

  • You know what you want to measure but prefer not to build the chart manually

Example prompts

  • “Use the create-chart skill to create Amplitude charts from natural language descriptions, handling event selection, filters, groupings, and…”
  • “/create-chart”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Search BROADLY first to discover relevant options
  2. Review relevant results - look for related events, custom events, meta events
  3. Present options to user OR explain your selection rationale
  4. Try not to assume a single event is the only answer without exploration

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 (its code samples are json).

    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

Create Chart loads about 2.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 58 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,113 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~58
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.6k

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 1,113 words (~2,649 tokens).

“Create charts from natural language by discovering events, building chart definitions, and verifying results.”
