What it does

Echarts Visualization Guide is an agent skill from wentorai/research-plugins. Guide to Apache ECharts for interactive research data dashboards

Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k 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. The repository describes itself as: 350+ academic research skills, MCP configs, and plugins for Research-Claw and AI agents. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Data visualization

Example prompts

  • “/echarts-visualization-guide”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit bf44b3c. 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 javascript and html).

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • cdn.jsdelivr.net

    Also links to:

    • echarts.apache.org
    • github.com

    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

Echarts Visualization Guide loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 23 tokens; SKILL.md has 255 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~23
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.9k

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.

Apache ECharts Visualization Guide

Overview

Apache ECharts is a powerful, free, and open-source interactive charting and data visualization library with over 66K stars on GitHub. Originally developed by Baidu and now an Apache Software Foundation top-level project, ECharts provides a declarative configuration-based approach to building rich, interactive visualizations that run smoothly in any modern browser.

For academic researchers, ECharts offers an excellent balance between ease of use and customization depth. Its declarative option-based API means researchers can produce complex multi-series charts, geographic visualizations, and animated transitions without writing low-level rendering code. This is particularly useful when building research dashboards or interactive supplementary materials for publications.

ECharts supports over 20 chart types out of the box, including line, bar, scatter, pie, radar, candlestick, heatmap, treemap, sunburst, parallel coordinates, sankey diagrams, and geographic maps. Its built-in support for large datasets (via progressive rendering and data sampling) makes it suitable for visualizing experimental results with hundreds of thousands of data points.

Basic Configuration and Chart Types

ECharts uses a declarative JSON configuration object to define charts. This approach makes it straightforward to build visualizations programmatically from research data.

Setting Up ECharts

      params.forEach(p => {

      { value: [0.85, 0.82, 0.80, 0.81, 0.87, 0.95], name: 'Baseline' }
    ]
  }]
};

Responsive Design and Theming

ECharts supports custom themes and responsive resizing, which is important when embedding visualizations in research web applications.

javascript
// Register a custom academic theme
echarts.registerTheme('academic', {
  color: ['#3B82F6', '#EF4444', '#10B981', '#F59E0B', '#8B5CF6', '#EC4899'],
  backgroundColor: '#FFFFFF',
  textStyle: { fontFamily: 'Inter, sans-serif' },
  title: { textStyle: { color: '#1F2937', fontSize: 16 } },
  line: { smooth: false, symbolSize: 6 }
});

// Initialize chart with the academic theme
const chart = echarts.init(document.getElementById('chart'), 'academic');

// Handle responsive resizing
window.addEventListener('resize', () => chart.resize());

Data Loading and Integration

javascript
// Load CSV data and convert to ECharts format
async function loadExperimentData(csvUrl) {
  const response = await fetch(csvUrl);
  const text = await response.text();
  const rows = text.split('\n').slice(1);

  const data = rows.map(row => {
    const [sample, condition, value, error] = row.split(',');
    return { sample, condition, value: parseFloat(value), error: parseFloat(error) };
  });

  return data;
}

// Export chart as PNG for publications
function downloadChart(chartInstance, filename) {
  const url = chartInstance.getDataURL({
    type: 'png',
    pixelRatio: 3,
    backgroundColor: '#fff'
  });
  const link = document.createElement('a');
  link.href = url;
  link.download = filename || 'chart.png';
  link.click();
}
