chart-chooser

chart-chooser is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from JayRHa/AgentSkills. It costs 135 tokens per session (1,461 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A data-visualization guide that chooses a chart type based on the data and the question being asked, then defines how to label and present it honestly.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to select or critique charts for comparisons, trends, distributions, relationships, part-to-whole views, rankings, and geographic data.
Why use it?
It helps avoid charts that obscure comparisons, exaggerate differences, or use a format poorly suited to the data.

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-chooser 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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/suggest_chart.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 Chooser

Overview

This skill turns a dataset plus an analytical question into the right chart, and ensures the result is clean, accurate, and not misleading. It covers two jobs:

  1. Choose — map the question intent and data shape to a chart type.
  2. Polish — apply encoding, labeling, axis, color, and honesty rules so the chart reads correctly at a glance.

Keywords: data visualization, chart type, graph selection, bar chart, line chart, scatter plot, histogram, heatmap, pie chart, dashboard, axis truncation, misleading charts, color accessibility, data-ink, encoding.

Use this skill whenever someone needs to decide how to show data, or wants an existing visual critiqued.

Workflow

Follow these steps in order. Do not jump to a chart type before clarifying intent and data shape.

  1. Identify the question intent. Pick the dominant one (a chart should answer one question well):
    • Comparison (which is bigger/smaller across categories)
    • Trend / change over time
    • Distribution (shape, spread, outliers of one variable)
    • Relationship / correlation (two+ numeric variables)
    • Part-to-whole (composition of a total)
    • Ranking (ordered comparison)
    • Geospatial (values across places)
    • Flow / part-to-whole over stages
  2. Profile the data shape. Note for each variable: type (categorical / ordinal / quantitative / temporal / geographic), cardinality (number of distinct values), and whether values can be summed to a meaningful total (needed for part-to-whole).
  3. Match intent + shape to a chart. Use the decision table in references/chart-decision-matrix.md. Resolve ties with the "pick the simplest that answers the question" rule.
  4. Choose encodings. Assign data fields to position, length, color, and size using the accuracy ranking in Best Practices. Position/length beat color/area for quantitative accuracy.
  5. Apply honesty + clarity rules. Run the checklist in references/clarity-and-honesty-checklist.md: axis baselines, sorting, direct labels, color accessibility, decluttering.
  6. Produce the output. Either describe the spec (chart type, x, y, color, sort, annotations) or generate code. Use scripts/suggest_chart.py to get a programmatic recommendation from a quick data profile.
  7. Self-review. Verify the chart answers the original question in under 5 seconds and contains no misleading element.

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.
