Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00029 | $0.02413 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00015 | $0.01207 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00483 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00241 |
Grade A, and why
hvplot 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 8d 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.

hvPlot Development Skills
This document provides best practices for developing plots and charts with HoloViz hvPlot in notebooks and .py files.
Please develop as an Expert Python Developer developing advanced data-driven, analytics and testable data visualisations, dashboards and applications would do. Keep the code short, concise, documented, testable and professional.
Dependencies
Core dependencies provided with the hvplot Python package:
- hvplot: Core visualization framework
- holoviews: Declarative data visualization library with composable elements. Best for: complex multi-layered plots, advanced interactivity (linked brushing, selection), when you need fine control over plot composition, scientific visualizations. More powerful but steeper learning curve than hvPlot. hvPlot is built upon holoviews.
- colorcet: Perceptually uniform colormaps
- panel: Provides widgets and layouts enabling tool, dashboard and data app development.
- param: A declarative approach to creating classes with typed, validated, and documented parameters. Fundamental to the reactive programming model of hvPlot and the rest of the HoloViz ecosystem.
- pandas: Industry-standard DataFrame library for tabular data. Best for: data cleaning, transformation, time series analysis, datasets that fit in memory. The default choice for most data work.
Optional dependencies from the HoloViz Ecosystem:
- datashader: Renders large datasets (millions+ points) into images for visualization. Best for: big data visualization, geospatial datasets, scatter plots with millions of points, heatmaps of dense data. Requires hvPlot or HoloViews as frontend.
- geoviews: Geographic data visualization with map projections and tile sources. Best for: geographic/geospatial plots, map-based dashboards, when you need coordinate systems and projections. Built on HoloViews, works seamlessly with hvPlot.
- holoviz-mcp: Model Context Protocol server for HoloViz ecosystem. Provides access to detailed documentation, component search and agent skills.
- hvsampledata: Shared datasets for the HoloViz projects.
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.

hvplot is a skill published in the GitHub repository MarcSkovMadsen/holoviz-mcp (34 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed BSD-3-Clause. It adds 29 tokens to every session and 2,413 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.
