What it does
Data Narrative Builder is an agent skill from nimrodfisher/data-analytics-skills. Build compelling data-driven narratives. Use when presenting analysis results, creating stakeholder reports, or transforming a set of findings into a story that drives a specific decision or action.
Its SKILL.md is about 740 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files and assets (for example `assets/narrative_template.md`, `references/data_writing_guide.md` and `references/narrative_frameworks.md`).
It sits in Writing & Content, covering Storytelling. The repository describes itself as: A comprehensive list of Claude & Codex skills for a wide range of data analytics tasks. The licence is MIT.

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9449d36. 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
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
Data Narrative Builder loads about 744 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 378 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.

Data Narrative Builder
When to use
- A presentation exists but feels like a data dump rather than a story
- The analysis has a clear finding but the team doesn't know how to make it compelling
- The audience is senior and will not read more than 5 slides
- A decision needs to be made and the data needs to make a clear, emotion-aware argument
- A recurring report needs to be restructured around a narrative rather than a metric list
Process
- Identify the central message — write the single most important thing the audience should know and do after seeing this. Everything else is supporting material. If there's more than one message, there are multiple presentations.
- Choose a narrative framework — select the structure that fits the context. Situation–Complication–Resolution works for most problem/solution stories. Before–After–Bridge is strong for demonstrating impact. See
references/narrative_frameworks.mdfor all patterns with examples. - Assign an emotional arc — map each section to an intended emotional state: establish comfort (Situation), introduce tension (Complication), offer confidence (Resolution). Tone and data emphasis should match the intended emotion at each stage.
- Draft each section with data woven in — apply the pyramid principle: lead with the conclusion, then support it with evidence. Numbers must serve the narrative, not interrupt it. Round large numbers for recall; humanise by expressing impact in terms the audience cares about.
- Plan the visual sequence — assign one key chart or visual to each narrative beat. The visual should reinforce the spoken or written message, not repeat it. See
references/data_writing_guide.mdfor annotation and emphasis techniques. - Write the opening hook and closing call to action — the hook must earn attention in under 10 seconds (a surprising stat, a question, or a contrast). The CTA must name a specific decision, person, and deadline. Complete
assets/narrative_template.md.

Inputs the skill needs
- The central finding or insight to be communicated
- The audience (role, knowledge level, what they care about most)
- The desired action or decision at the end of the presentation
- All supporting data and charts already prepared
- Format and time constraints (slides, report, 5-minute presentation, 30-page doc)
