What it does

Lens Chart is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Use when asked to select chart types for analytics dashboards, choose BI visualizations, or design data displays. Examples: "best chart for sales data", "dashboard visualization for metrics", "analytics chart selection"

Its SKILL.md is about 650 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `.claude-plugin/plugin.json`).

It sits in Data & Analytics. 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

  • Asked to select chart types for analytics dashboards
  • Choose BI visualizations
  • Design data displays

Example prompts

  • “best chart for sales data”
  • “dashboard visualization for metrics”
  • “analytics chart selection”
  • “/lens-chart”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Bash, Glob, Grep

Workflow steps

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

  1. Identify data type and BI context from user request (sales trends, cohort analysis, funnel, KPI comparison, etc.)
  2. Search chart knowledge base
  3. Search style for BI context
  4. Evaluate for BI requirements: data density, drill-down capability, real-time support, library recommendation
  5. Output optimized for decision-making, not decoration

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. 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
    • Bash
    • Glob
    • Grep

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    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

Lens Chart loads about 652 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 58 tokens; SKILL.md has 176 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~58
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~652

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, Bash, Glob, 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.

lens-chart — BI & Analytics Chart Selection

Follow the output format defined in docs/output-kit.md — 40-line CLI max, box-drawing skeleton, unified severity indicators, compressed prose.

When to use

User needs chart type selection or visualization recommendations for analytics dashboards or BI contexts.

Workflow

  1. Identify data type and BI context from user request (sales trends, cohort analysis, funnel, KPI comparison, etc.)
  2. Search chart knowledge base:
    bash
    python3 -m lens_agent.uiux search --domain chart --query "{data_type}" --limit 3
  3. Search style for BI context:
    bash
    python3 -m lens_agent.uiux search --domain style --query "{context}" --limit 2
  4. Evaluate for BI requirements: data density, drill-down capability, real-time support, library recommendation
  5. Output optimized for decision-making, not decoration

Output format

┌─ BI Chart Recommendation — {data_type} ─────────────────────────────┐
│ Chart type:        {chart_type}                                      │
│ Library:           {library}                                         │
│ Data density:      {density} (low / medium / high)                  │
│ Drill-down:        {drill_down} (yes / no / limited)                │
│ Real-time support: {real_time} (yes / no)                           │
│ Accessibility:     {grade}                                           │
├─ Decision test ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ "Does this answer a decision?" → {yes_no}: {rationale}              │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Anti-patterns

  • Never choose decorative over data-dense visualizations for BI contexts
  • Never skip the "does this answer a decision?" test — every chart must justify its inclusion
  • Never skip accessibility fallback for charts graded below AA
  • Never recommend real-time charts without confirming the data pipeline supports streaming

Delivery

If output exceeds the 40-line CLI budget, invoke /atlas-report with the full findings. The HTML report is the output. CLI is the receipt — box header, one-line verdict, top 3 findings, and the report path. Never dump analysis to CLI.
