What it does
Add Viz Entry is an agent skill from holtzy/dataviz-inspiration. Add a new data-visualization entry to the dataviz-inspiration gallery. Use when the user pastes messy content (a link, screenshots, notes) about a viz and wants it added to the site. Handles the viz-list.ts entry, image placement, chart-type tagging, and the two descriptions.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.9k 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: A collection of viz I love.
When your agent uses it
- The user pastes messy content (a link
- Notes) about a viz and wants it added to the site
Example prompts

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 783f466. 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:
magicknpx
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:
cw.com.tw
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
Add Viz Entry loads about 2.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 73 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,314 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
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,314 words (~2,900 tokens).
“Turn a messy paste (a URL, one or two screenshots, a few notes) into a clean VizItem appended to util/viz-list.ts, with images placed in public/img/.”
