What it does

Workflow Visualize Data is an agent skill from BintzGavin/helios. Workflow for creating data-driven animations. Use when you need to visualize datasets using D3, P5, or other libraries.

Its SKILL.md is about 460 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 Media & Creative. The repository describes itself as: Programmatic video creation with web technologies you already know. CSS animations just work. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • You need to visualize datasets using D3
  • Other libraries

Example prompts

  • “/workflow-visualize-data”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Choose Your Library
  2. Prepare Your Data
  3. Map Time to Data
  4. Handle Interactivity

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0fb7335. 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 typescript).

    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

Workflow Visualize Data loads about 460 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 36 tokens; SKILL.md has 114 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~36
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~460

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.

Visualize Data

This workflow guides you through creating data-driven animations in Helios.

1. Choose Your Library

  • D3.js: Best for complex charts, graphs, and SVG-based visualizations.
  • P5.js: Best for generative art, creative coding, and pixel manipulation (Canvas).
  • Three.js: Best for 3D data visualization.
  • Vanilla Canvas: Best for high-performance custom visualizations.

2. Prepare Your Data

Load your data (JSON, CSV) and ensure it is available when the composition starts.

typescript
// Load data
import rawData from './data.json';

3. Map Time to Data

The core concept is to map the current animation time (or progress) to your data state.

Linear Interpolation:

typescript
helios.subscribe(({ currentFrame, duration, fps }) => {
  const progress = currentFrame / (duration * fps); // 0 to 1

  // Show data up to the current progress
  const visibleData = data.slice(0, Math.floor(data.length * progress));
  render(visibleData);
});

Scale-Driven (D3):

typescript
const timeScale = d3.scaleLinear().domain([0, duration]).range([0, maxX]);

helios.subscribe(({ currentFrame, fps }) => {
  const t = currentFrame / fps;
  const currentX = timeScale(t);

  // Update attributes
  d3.selectAll('circle').attr('cx', d => d.x < currentX ? d.x : 0);
});

4. Handle Interactivity

If you need inputProps to control the visualization (e.g., changing datasets or color themes):

typescript
helios.subscribe((state) => {
  const { theme } = state.inputProps;
  updateColors(theme);
});
