data-storytelling

data-storytelling is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from fabioc-aloha/Alex_Skill_Mall. It costs 38 tokens per session (1,779 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for turning analysis and charts into a clear data narrative. It uses a structured story that explains what happened, why it matters, and what action may follow.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to coordinate analysis, visualizations, dashboard layouts, key findings, annotations, and self-contained reports or HTML dashboards.
Why use it?
It prevents dashboards and reports from becoming disconnected collections of charts. The result is organized around the audience’s questions and the main argument of the data.

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

data-storytelling 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 9d 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.

Overview

This is the orchestrator skill. It transforms raw data into a complete, coherent narrative by activating analysis, visualization, and dashboard skills in sequence. The output is a self-contained artifact -- typically an HTML dashboard or scrollable report -- where every chart, annotation, and KPI serves the story.

The cardinal rule: data stories have arguments, not just observations. A collection of charts with captions is a report. A data story says "here's what happened, here's why it matters, and here's what we should do."

Module 1: Three-Act Data Structure

Every data story follows this arc:

Act Purpose Content
Setup Establish context and baseline Who, what, when, where + "here's how things were"
Conflict Reveal the surprise, problem, or gap "But then this happened" / "X is not what we expected"
Resolution Deliver insight and recommendation "This means X, and we should do Y"

Act Mapping to Dashboard Components

Act Dashboard Element
Setup KPI cards showing baseline stats
Conflict Hero chart revealing the anomaly
Resolution Supporting charts + annotated insight

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.
