  • Tasks that involve UI design

What it does

Visualization is an agent skill from aws-samples/sample-strands-agent-with-agentcore, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Create interactive in-app charts (bar, line, pie). For a saved PNG or PDF, use visual-design instead.

Its SKILL.md is about 700 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 Documents & Office, covering UI design. The repository describes itself as: Reference architecture for agentic AI chatbots with Strands Agents and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve UI design

Example prompts

  • “/visualization”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6dd9d13. 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

Visualization loads about 697 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 29 tokens; SKILL.md has 264 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~29
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~697

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.

Visualization

When to Use This Skill

Use create_visualization for interactive in-app charts of numerical data. For an explicit PNG or PDF deliverable, use the visual-design skill instead. This tool returns a chart specification, not a downloadable image file. If the requested chart needs controls absent from this schema, such as fixed axis bounds, choose a tool that supports them rather than dropping the requirement.

Available Tool

  • create_visualization: Create a chart specification for frontend rendering.

Parameters (MUST match exactly)

ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
chart_typestrYes"bar", "line", or "pie"
datalist[dict]YesArray of data objects — see formats below
titlestrNoChart title
x_labelstrNoX-axis label (bar/line only)
y_labelstrNoY-axis label (bar/line only)

Data Formats (CRITICAL — use exact field names)

Bar / Line charts — each object MUST have "x" and "y" keys:

json
[{"x": "Jan", "y": 100}, {"x": "Feb", "y": 150}, {"x": "Mar", "y": 120}]

Pie charts — each object MUST have "segment" and "value" keys:

json
[{"segment": "Category A", "value": 30}, {"segment": "Category B", "value": 70}]

Optional: add "color": "hsl(210, 100%, 50%)" to any data point for custom color.

Example tool_input

Bar chart:

json
{
  "chart_type": "bar",
  "data": [{"x": "Q1", "y": 250}, {"x": "Q2", "y": 310}, {"x": "Q3", "y": 280}],
  "title": "Quarterly Revenue",
  "x_label": "Quarter",
  "y_label": "Revenue ($K)"
}

Pie chart:

json
{
  "chart_type": "pie",
  "data": [{"segment": "Mobile", "value": 60}, {"segment": "Desktop", "value": 35}, {"segment": "Tablet", "value": 5}],
  "title": "Traffic by Device"
}

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Do NOT use {"labels": [...], "values": [...]} format — data MUST be a list of dicts.
  • Bar/line data MUST use "x" and "y" keys, NOT "label" or "name".

UI Guidance (from tools-config)

Data Format:

  • Bar/Line charts: [{"x": label, "y": value}]
  • Pie charts: [{"segment": name, "value": number}]
  • Optional colors: "color": "hsl(210, 100%, 50%)"
