What it does

Data Charts Tako is an agent skill from gooseworks-ai/goose-skills. Search and visualize the world's data - get charts, insights, and embeddable knowledge cards for finance, economics, demographics, sports, and more

Its SKILL.md is about 2.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `skill.meta.json`).

It sits in Data & Analytics. The repository describes itself as: Library of Growth & GTM skills + data APIs for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor to run ads, social, content, lead gen, seo and data scraping. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Data & Analytics work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/data-charts-tako”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Node.js
  • A credential in GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c650c6d. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • curl
    • python3
    • npx

    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:

    • api.gooseworks.ai

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Data Charts Tako loads about 2.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 41 tokens; SKILL.md has 553 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~41
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.4k

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.

Tips

  • Knowledge Search is the main endpoint — start here for any data question
  • Use image_url to display charts in Slack, Discord, or other channels
  • embed_url gives an interactive iframe for web pages
  • Call List Default Schemas before Create Card to see available chart types
  • Set search_effort: "deep" for complex multi-metric comparisons
  • Data coverage: stock prices, revenue, GDP, unemployment, population, sports stats, weather, health, and more

Error Handling

  • 400 - Invalid body or missing required fields
  • 401 - Invalid API key
  • 404 - Card not found (Chart Insights) or no results found (Knowledge Search)
  • Empty knowledge_cards array — try rephrasing or using source_indexes: ["tako", "web"]
