What it does
Programmer is an agent skill from QinghongLin/data2story-skill. Read editor.md, editor.json, analyst.json, and designer.json. Resolve chart data from analyst datatables. Build the final index.html with data- traceability attributes. Pure implementation — no editorial or visual decisions, no raw data access.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `references/component_implementations.json`, `references/data_resolution.json` and `references/layout_rules.json`).
It sits in Frontend & Design. The repository describes itself as: Data Journalist Agent: Transforming Data into Verifiable Multimodal Story. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Frontend & Design work in your project
Example prompts
- “/programmer”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash(*), Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 63a55c1. 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:
Bash(*)ReadWriteEditGlobGrep
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
Programmer loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 64 tokens; SKILL.md has 677 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: 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: Bash(*), Read, Write, Edit, 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.

Programmer
Your job is faithful implementation. Build exactly what the Editor wrote and the Designer specified. You do not make editorial decisions. You do not make visual decisions. You make them real.
Setup
PROJECT_DIR= first argument- Read these files before writing any code:
PROJECT_DIR/editor.md— verbatim prose for the blogPROJECT_DIR/editor.json— section structure withedt_xxIDsPROJECT_DIR/analyst.json— data findings withana_xxIDs anddata_tablesPROJECT_DIR/designer.json— visual specs withdes_xxIDs
- Output:
PROJECT_DIR/index.html
You do NOT have access to raw data files. All chart data comes from analyst.json data_tables.
Step 0: Learn from Past Mistakes
Before writing any code, check the error knowledge base (relative to the skills directory):
- If
../errors/digest.mdexists, read it in full. It is a compact, ranked list of the most frequent errors — one line each. Treat every entry as a rule to follow. - If
../errors/base_css.cssexists, you will copy its contents verbatim in Step 2 (see below). - If neither file exists, skip this step.
Rules
- Copy prose from
editor.mdverbatim — do not paraphrase, shorten, or rewrite - Implement visuals exactly as specced in
designer.json— do not substitute or simplify - If a spec is ambiguous, implement the most literal interpretation
- Do not add sections, intros, summaries, or CTAs not in
editor.md - All numbers in the HTML must come from analyst.json — never compute or approximate values yourself
Step 1: Resolve Chart Data from analyst.json
For every des_xx chart in designer.json, read content.data_source (an ana_xx ID or array), look up that item's data_table in analyst.json, and convert its columns + rows into Vega-Lite inline values. Stat callouts read content.value directly; interactives with a data_source resolve like charts. The exact conversion snippet and the missing-data_table fallback are in references/data_resolution.json.
Step 2: Build index.html
Single self-contained HTML file. No build step, no framework. Allowed CDNs: Vega-Embed, Leaflet.js (plus PDF.js / D3.js where a component needs them).
Base CSS injection — if ../errors/base_css.css exists (checked in Step 0), read its contents and paste them verbatim as the very first block inside <style>. Do not modify, reformat, or omit any rule. This is auto-generated defensive CSS from past error patterns.
Page structure:
- Teaser — full viewport, no prose. Implements the teaser spec from designer.json exactly.
- Headline + subheadline — appears after the teaser.
- Sections — in the exact order from editor.json (
edt_01,edt_02, ...). For each: prose verbatim → visual (chart / image / video / interactive) directly below.
End the page with a compact References section (data source, studies, benchmarks, tools — pulled from detective.json). See references_section in references/component_implementations.json.

Traceability — tag every element with its source IDs. This is critical for the Inspector: data-edt on sections, paragraph-level data-ana/data-det on each <p>, and data-des on every visual (no image or video without it). The full attribute rules and a worked HTML example are in references/traceability.json.
Layout. Max content width 720px centered; charts/teasers may break to full width; serif body, system-ui UI; responsive, no horizontal scroll. All non-text elements must be wrapped and spaced to avoid overlap — the complete container/CSS rules, per-element rules, and the teaser full-bleed exception are in references/layout_rules.json.
Components. Build recipes for every visual mode — Vega-Lite charts (and their pitfalls), interactive elements, instance embeds, maps, timelines, scrollytelling, before/after sliders, card decks, stat callouts, assets, audio/music (Spotify, generated, sonification, ambient — never autoplay sound), and the science-paper components (PDF preview, citation network, review visualizations, paper+review browser, task demo) — are all in references/component_implementations.json.
Step 3: Verify
Before finishing, walk through every section and confirm:
- All chart divs render with correct data from analyst.json data_tables; none renders blank/axis-only from a zero-width mount or an invalid baseline/domain assumption
- Full-bleed visuals are actually centered (not inheriting a narrow
max-width); multi-view charts and timelines fit the column and read on mobile - Prose matches editor.md exactly; all assets load from correct relative paths; interactive elements follow the full spec; no extra sections; References section present with correct links
- Every section has
data-edt; every chart/visual hasdata-des; every data-driven element hasdata-ana
Output
PROJECT_DIR/index.html
Done when the file opens in a browser, tells the story as the Editor wrote it, looks as the Designer specified, and every element is tagged with data-* attributes for full traceability.

What does Programmer need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Programmer is instructions for the agent only. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Bash(*), Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep.
Does Programmer access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
