What it does
Plotly is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills. Plotly interactive visualization. Express and Graph Objects: scatter, line, bar, heatmap, 3D, geographic charts; subplots; styling; export. Use when interactivity (hover/zoom) is needed. For static figures use plotnine; for GIS use geopandas.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including reference files (for example `references/charts.md`, `references/export.md` and `references/gotchas.md`).
It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Data visualization and Geospatial analysis. It works with Plotly. The repository describes itself as: 🔬 A curated collection of 23,000+ agent skills for empirical research across 8 social science disciplines. | 精选 23,000+ AI Agent 技能库，覆盖8大社会科学学科的实证研究。CoPaper.AI…
When your agent uses it
- Interactivity (hover/zoom) is needed
- Tasks that involve Data visualization
- Tasks that involve Geospatial analysis
Example prompts
- “/plotly”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Write plot code FIRST to scripts/stage8_analysis/{step}_{plot-name}.py
- Execute via Bash with automatic output capture wrapper script
- Validation results get automatically embedded in scripts as comments
- If failed, create versioned copy for fixes
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9fa87d8. 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 python).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
plotly.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
Plotly loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~12k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 507 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.
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
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 507 words (~1,891 tokens).
“Plotly interactive visualization library for Python. Covers Plotly Express and Graph Objects for scatter, line, bar, histogram, box, heatmap, 3D, and geographic charts; subplots and faceting; styling; and HTML/image export. Use when creating interactive visualizations with hover/zoom/pan, building web-based charts…”

To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/plotly, .gemini/skills/plotly, .github/skills/plotly and .opencode/skills/plotly in your project.
What does Plotly need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Plotly is instructions for the agent only. Our summary lists: Python 3.
Does Plotly access the network?
SKILL.md names 1 domain. As links in the text: plotly.com. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Plotly safe to install?
