What it does

Creating Data Visualizations is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Generate plots, charts, and graphs from data with automatic visualization type selection. Use when requesting "visualization", "plot", "chart", or "graph". Trigger with phrases like 'generate', 'create', or 'scaffold'.

Its SKILL.md is about 820 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/README.md`, `references/README.md` and `scripts/README.md`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code

It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Data visualization. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Requesting visualization
  • With phrases like generate

Example prompts

  • “visualization”
  • “. Trigger with phrases like”
  • “create”
  • “/creating-data-visualizations”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Grep, Glob, Bash(cmd:*)

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Data Analysis: Claude analyzes the provided data to understand its structure, type, and distribution.
  2. Visualization Selection: Based on the data analysis, Claude selects the most appropriate visualization type (e.g., bar chart, scatter…
  3. Visualization Generation: Claude generates the visualization using appropriate libraries and best practices for visual clarity and accuracy.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 80f86df. 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:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Grep
    • Glob
    • Bash(cmd:*)

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    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.

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Creating Data Visualizations loads about 820 tokens when it runs, and up to ~838 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 382 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~62
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~820
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~838

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Data Visualization Creator

Generate plots, charts, and graphs from data with automatic visualization type selection based on data characteristics.

Overview

This skill empowers Claude to transform raw data into compelling visual representations. It leverages intelligent automation to select optimal visualization types and generate informative plots, charts, and graphs. This skill helps users understand complex data more easily.

How It Works

  1. Data Analysis: Claude analyzes the provided data to understand its structure, type, and distribution.
  2. Visualization Selection: Based on the data analysis, Claude selects the most appropriate visualization type (e.g., bar chart, scatter plot, line graph).
  3. Visualization Generation: Claude generates the visualization using appropriate libraries and best practices for visual clarity and accuracy.

When to Use This Skill

This skill activates when you need to:

  • Create a visual representation of data.
  • Generate a specific type of plot, chart, or graph (e.g., "create a bar chart").
  • Explore data patterns and relationships through visualization.

Examples

Example 1: Visualizing Sales Data

User request: "Create a bar chart showing sales by region."

The skill will:

  1. Analyze the sales data, identifying regions and corresponding sales figures.
  2. Generate a bar chart with regions on the x-axis and sales on the y-axis.
Example 2: Plotting Stock Prices

User request: "Plot the stock price of AAPL over the last year."

The skill will:

  1. Retrieve historical stock price data for AAPL.
  2. Generate a line graph showing the stock price over time.

Best Practices

  • Data Clarity: Ensure the data is clean and well-formatted before requesting a visualization.
  • Specific Requests: Be specific about the desired visualization type and any relevant data filters.
  • Contextual Information: Provide context about the data and the purpose of the visualization.

Integration

This skill can be integrated with other data processing and analysis tools within the Claude Code environment. It can receive data from other skills and provide visualizations for further analysis or reporting.

Prerequisites

  • Appropriate file access permissions
  • Required dependencies installed

Instructions

  1. Invoke this skill when the trigger conditions are met
  2. Provide necessary context and parameters
  3. Review the generated output
  4. Apply modifications as needed

Output

The skill produces structured output relevant to the task.
