What it does
Visualization Best Practices is an agent skill from foryourhealth111-pixel/Vibe-Skills. Review chart choice, labeling, accessibility, and storytelling quality for existing visualizations. Use as an explicit/manual helper for critique and cleanup, not as the main owner for scientific figure production or general chart generation.
Its SKILL.md is about 340 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: Intelligent Skill routing and workflow orchestration for AI agents — +21.12 pp reward, −29.6% tokens on SkillsBench with DeepSeekV4Flash-VE. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Data visualization
Example prompts
- “/visualization-best-practices”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Bash, Grep
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ddcaa2a. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
ReadWriteEditBashGrep
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
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 Best Practices loads about 344 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 68 tokens; SKILL.md has 108 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: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
allowed-tools: Read, Write, Edit, Bash, Grep
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.
