What it does
Data Viz Deck is an agent skill from thatrebeccarae/claude-marketing. Transform audit data, performance reports, and structured analyses into polished visual deliverables. Generates presentation decks (PPTX), interactive HTML dashboards, or styled markdown reports with charts. Includes a customizable design system with forest green accent and warm cream backgrounds. Use when the user has analysis data and needs a visual deliverable.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files (for example `EXAMPLES.md` and `REFERENCE.md`).
It sits in Documents & Office, covering PowerPoint presentations, Data visualization and HTML artifacts. It works with Microsoft PowerPoint and pandas. The repository describes itself as: A full marketing department for Claude Code. Skill packs for Klaviyo, Shopify, GA4, Looker Studio, paid media, and more. Audit, optimize, and report using natural language. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- The user has analysis data and needs a visual deliverable
- Tasks that involve PowerPoint presentations
- Tasks that involve Data visualization
Example prompts
- “/data-viz-deck”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
7 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 a8a63ec. 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:
gitpip
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git and pip, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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 Viz Deck loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 95 tokens; SKILL.md has 588 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 Visualization & Deck Builder
Transform structured data and analysis into polished visual deliverables: presentation decks, interactive dashboards, and visual reports.
Install
git clone https://github.com/thatrebeccarae/claude-marketing.git && cp -r claude-marketing/skills/data-viz-deck ~/.claude/skills/When to Use This Skill
- User has completed an audit or analysis and wants a visual deliverable
- User says "make a deck," "create a presentation," "build a dashboard," "visualize this"
- User wants to turn a markdown report into client-ready slides
- User needs charts, tables, or visual summaries from performance data
Output Formats
1. PPTX Deck (Primary)
Native PowerPoint with editable charts, styled tables, and professional layouts. Best for client handoffs and presentations.
Requires: python-pptx (installed), pandas (installed)
2. Interactive HTML Dashboard
Single-file HTML with plotly.js charts (loaded via CDN), filterable tables, and responsive layout. Best for sharing interactive reports.
Requires: jinja2 (installed), pandas (installed). Plotly.js loaded via CDN at runtime.
3. Visual Markdown Report
Enhanced markdown with embedded chart images (requires matplotlib: pip install matplotlib). Best for vault reports and documentation.
Workflow
Step 1: Identify the Data Source
Read the source file (audit markdown, CSV, JSON, or database query results). Parse the key metrics, tables, and findings into a pandas DataFrame or structured dict.
Step 2: Select Chart Types
| Data Pattern | Chart Type | When to Use |
|---|---|---|
| Categories with values | Bar chart (horizontal) | Revenue by category |
| Categories + benchmark | Bar chart with reference line | Performance vs benchmark |
| Parts of a whole | Doughnut/Pie chart | Revenue concentration, channel mix |
| Values over time | Line chart | Trend data, period-over-period |
| Two variables | Scatter plot | Correlation analysis |
| Performance scoring | Heatmap table | Color-coded metrics (green/amber/red) |
| Before/after or gaps | Waterfall chart | Revenue opportunity sizing |
| Ranked items | Horizontal bar | Top 10 sorted |
| Funnels | Funnel chart | Delivered > opened > clicked > converted |
| Status overview | Scorecard/KPI tiles | Executive summary metrics |
Step 3: Apply the Design System
All deliverables use a configurable design system. Override the color tokens and font choices to match your brand.
Color Palette
COLORS = {
# Brand accent -- change to your brand color
"accent": "#3D7A5C", # Forest green
"accent_light":"#6AB88A", # Light green
# Chart series (ordered for visual distinction)
"series": ["#3D7A5C", "#6AB88A", "#8B7EC8", "#D4845A", "#C9A84C", "#C75B6F", "#93C9A8", "#8B949E"],
# Semantic
"good": "#2E8B57", # Green -- above benchmark
"warning": "#D97706", # Amber -- watch
"critical": "#C0392B", # Red -- action needed
"neutral": "#8B949E", # Slate -- no judgment
# Dark mode (title slides, section dividers)
"bg_deep": "#141414",
"bg_surface": "#1E1E1E",
"text_bright": "#F0F3F6",
"text_secondary_dark": "#9CA3AF",
# Light mode (content slides -- the default)
"bg_light": "#FAF7F2", # Warm cream, NOT white
"bg_surface_light": "#F2EDE6",
"text_primary":"#0F0E0E",
"text_secondary": "#57606A",
"text_muted": "#8B949E",
}Color rules:
- Light mode (
#FAF7F2warm cream) is default for all content slides. NOT white. - Dark mode (
#141414) only for: title slides, section dividers, closing slides. - Accent color used sparingly: top-performing bars, key metrics, accent callouts.
- Semantic colors (green/amber/red) only for status indicators, never decoration.

Typography (PPTX)
FONTS = {
"title": "Switzer", # Slide titles -- Light (300), 28-36pt, NOT bold
"subtitle": "Switzer", # Subtitles -- Regular (400), 18-22pt
"body": "Switzer", # Body text -- Regular (400), 12-14pt
"data": "Cartograph CF", # Numbers, tables -- Regular/Bold, 11-12pt
"kpi": "Cartograph CF", # KPI big numbers -- Bold (700), 44-60pt
"label": "Cartograph CF", # ALL CAPS labels -- Regular, 9-10pt, +tracking
}
# Fallbacks: Switzer -> Inter -> system-ui | Cartograph CF -> Consolas -> monospaceCritical typography rules:
- Headlines use Light weight, NOT Bold. Light at large sizes = confident, premium.
- Monospace font for ALL numeric/data content. KPIs, table numbers, labels, footers.
- Negative tracking on headlines. -0.03em to -0.04em.
- Positive tracking on ALL CAPS labels. +0.08em to +0.1em.
Slide Layouts
Every deck follows this structure:
1. Title Slide -- Report name, date (dark mode)
2. Executive Summary -- 3-5 KPI tiles + key findings bullets
3. Scorecard -- Color-coded performance overview table
4. Deep Dive slides -- One per major finding (chart + insight + recommendation)
5. Opportunity Sizing -- Waterfall or bar chart of revenue opportunities
6. Recommendations -- Prioritized table (Quick Wins / Strategic / Maintenance)
7. Appendix -- Full data tablesSlide Dimensions (python-pptx)
Width: 13.333"
Height: 7.5"
Aspect: 16:9Step 4: Generate the Deliverable
Follow the code patterns in REFERENCE.md for the chosen output format.
Key Principles
One insight per slide. Never cram multiple findings onto one slide. Each deep-dive slide has: chart (left 60%), insight + recommendation (right 40%).
Lead with the number. Every slide title should contain the key metric: "Post-Purchase RPR at $0.07 -- 14x Below Benchmark" not "Post-Purchase Flow Analysis."
Benchmark everything. Never show a metric without context. Show the benchmark, the gap, and what closing the gap is worth.
Color = meaning. Green means good/above benchmark. Amber means watch. Red means action needed. Never use color decoratively in data slides.
Simplify chart data. Max 6-8 items per chart. Aggregate the tail into "Other."
Executive summary is the deck. If someone only reads slide 2, they should understand the full story.
Never estimate when actuals exist. If the data has exact values, compute precise totals.
No white backgrounds. Always warm cream
#FAF7F2for light content.No bold headlines. Light weight for all hero/section titles.
