chart-integrity

chart-integrity is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from macintog/codex-spine. It costs 64 tokens per session (435 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A checklist for making charts, dashboards, and KPI displays that represent quantitative comparisons honestly. It covers both the data claims and how the finished chart looks when rendered.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create, revise, or critique data charts and dashboards that people will act on. It checks titles, comparisons, sources, filters, caveats, captions, alt text, and layout at the sizes you ship.
Why use it?
It helps prevent misleading comparisons caused by mismatched periods, units, filters, axes, uncertainty, or missing data. It also catches labels, legends, and caveats that become unreadable in the delivered chart.

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-integrity 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 19d 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

Chart integrity

What survives a capable model is integrity slips and unchecked rendering, not chart-type choice. Check:

  1. Comparable inputs. Same definition, unit, population, denominator, and window on both sides. Mark or drop a partial current period beside complete ones; never draw it as a decline. Don't connect across missing intervals.
  2. Magnitude. Show the base with relative change ("100 → 110, +10%"). Label percentage points vs percent. Length encodings start at zero; a non-zero line axis is fine when disclosed.
  3. Claims. Titles state only what the data supports; no causal verbs for observational data. Name the interval type when showing uncertainty; don't rank estimates whose intervals make the order unstable. Declare top-N, filtered, or excluded subsets.
  4. Visible by default. Units, active filters, source and as-of date, and material caveats sit on or beside the chart, not in hover only. Captions and alt text match the active filtered state. KPIs carry a comparator (prior, target, or trend).
  5. Look at it. Render at delivery size and each viewport you ship. Inspect for clipped or colliding labels, legends over data, illegible ticks, inconsistent panel scales, and color as the only carrier of meaning. Fix and re-render. If you could not render, say so.

A request for "Tufte" or "clean" style means dense, honest evidence: plain background, plain type, direct labels. Skip stock styling (cream paper, serif fonts, a muted red accent) applied for looks.

Use real data; label any synthetic data as synthetic.

For critique, lead with what misleads, then what impairs reading, then craft. Skip items that pass.

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.
