chart-xml-library

chart-xml-library is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from blakefeiza/vizwright. It costs 66 tokens per session (7,550 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A recipe library showing the Tableau XML patterns for common charts, including bars, lines, maps, heatmaps, and scatter plots.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose a chart for a question such as ranking or change over time, then find the corresponding XML pattern for the workbook.
Why use it?
It gives dashboard builders known chart structures and field-encoding patterns to adapt when creating Tableau workbook XML.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

chart-xml-library scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Chart XML Library (mined from VOTD winners)

Each recipe gives the <mark>, <rows>, <cols>, and <encodings> deltas. Boilerplate (datasource-dependencies, style, panes wrapper) is in the twb-authoring skill. [ds] = your datasource name, e.g. [federated.superstore]. Raw examples: knowledge/xml-patterns/<chart-type>/*.xml.

Chart selection guide, organized by question intent (FT Visual Vocabulary). Every recipe below is RENDER-VERIFIED via the specimen book (tools/build_specimen.py → output/chart-specimen.twbx — regenerate and publish it after changing any recipe).

Intent Question shape Chart Recipe
Magnitude "How much overall?" BAN / KPI card 1
Ranking "Compare categories" Horizontal bar, sorted 2
Ranking "Compare, minimal ink" Lollipop / dot plot 9
Change over time "Trend?" Line (month-truncated) 3
Change over time "Trend + magnitude" Area 4
Change over time "Trend in a card" Sparkline 14
Change over time "Then vs now (2 periods)" Slope 16
Deviation "Before vs after / A vs B" Dumbbell 10
Deviation "Actual vs target" Bullet 11
Correlation "Two measures related?" Scatter 5
Spatial "Where geographically?" Filled map 6
Magnitude "Two dims × measure" Heatmap / highlight table 7
Part-to-whole "Composition (per category)" Stacked bar 15
Ranking "Compare within groups" Grouped bar (nested dims) 15
Part-to-whole "Share of total, 2-3 parts ONLY" Pie 13
Part-to-whole "Many parts, hierarchy" Treemap 18
Flow "Stage drop-off" Funnel 12
Distribution "Value spread" Histogram (calc bins) 17
"Exact values / detail" Text table (sparingly) 8

Not yet in the library (need table-calc grammar; do not improvise): waterfall, bump chart, box plot, 100%-stacked via percent-of-total.

1. BAN / KPI card

Text mark, measure on Text shelf, empty rows/cols. One BAN per sheet.

<panes><pane>
  <view><breakdown value='auto' /></view>
  <mark class='Text' />
  <encodings><text column='[ds].[sum:Sales:qk]' /></encodings>
</pane></panes>
<rows></rows>
<cols></cols>

Format the number big via pane style:

<style-rule element='mark'>
  <format attr='font-size' value='28' />
  <format attr='font-weight' value='bold' />
  <format attr='color' value='#333333' />
</style-rule>

VOTD pattern: BAN row = 3–4 cards across the top, each with a small caption (worksheet title, 9–10pt grey) above the number.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
