plotly

A library for making interactive charts that work in a web browser, including charts with zooming, hover details, and three-dimensional views.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build interactive scatter plots, dashboards, 3D charts, and data applications with Plotly Express, lower-level graph objects, or Dash.
Why use it?
It lets people inspect and filter visualized data instead of viewing only a fixed image. It is suited to dashboards and web applications.

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

plotly 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 2d 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.

What it actually says

Plotly

Plotly creates interactive (zoomable, hoverable) charts in the browser. v6.0 (2025) drops big dependencies (Pandas is optional) and improves performance.

When to Use

  • Dashboards: Streamlit, Dash.
  • 3D Plots: Rotating 3D scatter plots.
  • Interactivity: Users need to drill down into data.

Core Concepts

Plotly Express (px)

High-level API. px.scatter(df, x="a", y="b", color="c").

Graph Objects (go)

Low-level API. go.Figure(data=[go.Scatter(...)]).

Dash

The framework for building web apps with Plotly charts.

Best Practices (2025)

Do:

  • Use Plotly Express: It covers 90% of use cases.
  • Use WebGL: render_mode='webgl' for large datasets (>10k points).

Don't:

  • Don't use it for static papers: Use Matplotlib for print.

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.

plotly is a skill published in the GitHub repository G1Joshi/Agent-Skills (12 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 14 tokens to every session and 267 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.

Establishes a project's quality bar as a written contract and stops agents quietly lowering it.
