Adds or extends a ScottPlot Cookbook recipe for a given plottable, in the right PlotTypes category and in the style of neighboring recipes.

What it does
Given an `IPlottable`, the agent reads its public API, searches the existing PlotTypes recipes and reads the adjacent ones for style, then adds a nested `RecipeBase` to a matching category or creates a new `ICategory` file in `Recipes/PlotTypes`. A new category uses the `ScottPlotCookbook.Recipes.PlotTypes` namespace, sets the chapter to PlotTypes and starts with a single quickstart recipe. If no plottable is named, the agent asks before editing anything.
Examples stay minimal and deterministic: prefer the `myPlot.Add.*()` APIs and `Generate` data, and skip extra titles, labels, legends, limits, styling, comments, refactors and cleanup. Plottables live under `src/ScottPlot5/ScottPlot5/Plottables` and recipes under the cookbook project. Validation runs the cookbook tests filtered to `RecipeTests` with `dotnet test`, or the whole cookbook project when the new recipe has to render, and the agent reports the command and its result.
When your agent uses it
- Documenting a new ScottPlot plot type with a cookbook example
- Extending an existing recipe category with another plottable
- Checking that a new recipe passes the cookbook tests
Example prompts
- “Add a cookbook recipe for the new Heatmap plottable.”
- “Create a recipe for Lollipop in the right PlotTypes category, matching the existing recipes.”
- “Add a quickstart recipe for the Radar plottable and run the recipe tests.”
Requirements
- A ScottPlot repository checkout
- The dotnet CLI to run the cookbook tests
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Read the target plottable public API.
- Search existing PlotTypes recipes and read adjacent style.
- Add a nested RecipeBase to an existing category, or create a matching ICategory file in Recipes/PlotTypes.
- Keep code minimal, deterministic, and documentation-friendly.
- Run focused cookbook tests.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit fb3f5aa. 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:
rgdotnet
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
ScottPlot Cookbook Recipe loads about 384 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 46 tokens; SKILL.md has 125 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.

- Add or extend a ScottPlot Cookbook recipe for an IPlottable, finding the right PlotTypes category or creating one when needed, with minimal style-matched examples.
Cookbook Recipe From IPlottable
If no plottable is named, ask before editing.
Paths: plottables in src/ScottPlot5/ScottPlot5/Plottables; recipes in src/ScottPlot5/ScottPlot5 Cookbook/Recipes/PlotTypes.
Fast path:
- Read the target plottable public API.
- Search existing PlotTypes recipes and read adjacent style.
- Add a nested
RecipeBaseto an existing category, or create a matchingICategoryfile inRecipes/PlotTypes. - Keep code minimal, deterministic, and documentation-friendly.
- Run focused cookbook tests.
rg "class .*:.*IPlottable|class TARGET" src/ScottPlot5/ScottPlot5
rg "TARGET|CategoryName =>" "src/ScottPlot5/ScottPlot5 Cookbook/Recipes/PlotTypes"New category basics: namespace ScottPlotCookbook.Recipes.PlotTypes, implement ICategory, Chapter => Chapter.PlotTypes, one quickstart recipe unless the requested behavior needs something else. Prefer myPlot.Add.*() APIs and deterministic Generate data. Avoid unnecessary titles, labels, legends, limits, styling, comments, refactors, or cleanup.
Validation:
dotnet test "src/ScottPlot5/ScottPlot5 Cookbook/ScottPlot Cookbook.csproj" --filter "FullyQualifiedName~RecipeTests"If the new recipe must render during validation, run the cookbook project without the filter. Report the command and result.
