bokeh-visualization-guideGuide to Bokeh for interactive browser-based research visualizations
Bokeh Visualization Guide is an agent skill from wentorai/research-plugins. Guide to Bokeh for interactive browser-based research visualizations
Its SKILL.md is about 2.2k 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, covering Data visualization. It works with Python. The repository describes itself as: 350+ academic research skills, MCP configs, and plugins for Research-Claw and AI agents. The licence is MIT.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit bf44b3c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are python).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
docs.bokeh.orggithub.comholoviews.orgFrom URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Bokeh Visualization Guide loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 24 tokens; SKILL.md has 270 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
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.

.claude/skills/bokeh-visualization-guide/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder).Bokeh is a Python library for creating interactive visualizations for modern web browsers, with over 20K stars on GitHub. Developed and maintained by NumFocus, Bokeh generates standalone HTML documents or serves live interactive applications. Its architecture renders graphics in the browser using BokehJS, meaning the resulting visualizations are portable and can be shared as static HTML files without requiring Python on the viewer's end.
For researchers, Bokeh offers a unique advantage: its server-backed interactive applications allow real-time data exploration during analysis. Unlike static plotting libraries, Bokeh lets researchers build tools where they can brush-select data points, link multiple views of the same dataset, and stream live data from instruments or simulations. This makes it invaluable for exploratory data analysis in laboratory and computational research settings.
Bokeh provides multiple levels of API access. The high-level bokeh.plotting interface is comparable in convenience to matplotlib, while the low-level bokeh.models interface gives fine-grained control over every visual element. The library also integrates with HoloViews and Panel for building complex dashboards with minimal code.

Guide to Bokeh for interactive browser-based research visualizations. Bokeh Visualization Guide is an agent skill from wentorai/research-plugins.
Bokeh Visualization Guide fits situations like: tasks that involve Data visualization.
Run `npx skills add wentorai/research-plugins --skill bokeh-visualization-guide -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/analysis/dataviz/bokeh-visualization-guide in wentorai/research-plugins) into .claude/skills/bokeh-visualization-guide in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add wentorai/research-plugins --skill bokeh-visualization-guide -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/analysis/dataviz/bokeh-visualization-guide in wentorai/research-plugins) into .agents/skills/bokeh-visualization-guide in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add wentorai/research-plugins --skill bokeh-visualization-guide -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/bokeh-visualization-guide, .gemini/skills/bokeh-visualization-guide, .github/skills/bokeh-visualization-guide and .opencode/skills/bokeh-visualization-guide in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Bokeh Visualization Guide is instructions for the agent only. Our summary lists: Python 3.
SKILL.md names 3 domains. As links in the text: docs.bokeh.org, github.com and holoviews.org. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Bokeh Visualization Guide is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 2.2k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 8.8k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
