What it does

Data Visualization is an agent skill from ynulihao/AgentSkillOS. Creates effective data visualizations using various libraries and tools, with focus on clarity and insight communication. Trigger keywords: chart, graph, plot, visualization, dashboard, matplotlib, d3, plotly, visualization.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Data visualization. It works with Matplotlib and Plotly. The repository describes itself as: Build your agent from 200,000+ skills via skill RETRIEVAL & ORCHESTRATION.

When your agent uses it

  • Keywords: chart
  • Tasks that involve Data visualization

Example prompts

  • “Use the data-visualization skill to create effective data visualizations using various libraries and tools, with focus on clarity and insight…”
  • “/data-visualization”

Requirements

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

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Understand the Data
  2. Select Appropriate Visualization
  3. Design for Clarity
  4. Implement and Iterate

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c3cfae1. 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
    • Grep
    • Glob
    • Edit
    • Write
    • Bash

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are python and markdown).

    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 Visualization loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 190 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~61
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.1k

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, Grep, Glob, Edit, Write, Bash

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 190 words (~2,104 tokens).

“This skill focuses on creating effective data visualizations that communicate insights clearly. It covers various visualization libraries, chart selection, and design principles for impactful data presentation.”
