mendix-vega-charts

mendix-vega-charts is a skill for Claude Code from mendixlabs/mxcli. It costs 106 tokens per session (2,901 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A Mendix widget that renders Vega or Vega-Lite charts from a chart specification and a separate JSON array of data rows. Vega-Lite is a format for describing charts in text, while the microflow supplies the facts to display.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add charts that Mendix’s standard widgets do not cover, including small multiples, faceted tables, and sparklines.
Why use it?
It keeps data preparation separate from chart design. Changing the chart does not require rewriting a microflow that manually assembles the chart’s series, axes, and colours.

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

mendix-vega-charts 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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (scripts/check-spec.mjs, widget/src/csrf.ts, widget/test/csrf.test.ts, …), 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.

Vega-Lite charts in Mendix

What this is

A pluggable widget, roughly 150 lines of TSX, with two properties that matter:

Property What it carries
spec A Vega-Lite or Vega specification, as JSON text. Static, authored once, committed.
chartData A string attribute holding a JSON array of row objects. Built by a microflow.

The widget folds the data into the spec under the name given by datasetName and hands the result to vega-embed, which picks Vega or Vega-Lite from the spec's own $schema. Nothing else happens at runtime.

The split is the whole point. The model emits a table of facts; the specification decides what that table looks like. A microflow that concatenates a chart payload — series, axes, colours — is a microflow that has to be edited every time the chart changes, and it cannot be checked without running the app. A microflow that emits [{"cat":"Groceries","m":"2026-06-01","v":697.70}, ...] can be checked against the database with a SQL query, and the spec beside it can be compiled and measured without a browser at all (see Verifying).

Who this is for

An agent. The tradeoff is deliberate: a hand-authored Vega-Lite spec is a large piece of JSON, which is uncomfortable to maintain in Studio Pro's property editor and comfortable for a coding agent that can compile it, render it headless, and measure the result. If a human will maintain the chart by hand in Studio Pro, use Studio Pro's chart widgets instead.

What makes this usable without deep Vega-Lite knowledge is specs/ — working specifications for the common shapes, each with a sample data file, each of which compiles and renders. Start from the closest one and change fields, not structure.

Getting the widget into a project

See references/install.md. Summary: copy the widget source, npm ci, npm run build, put the built .mpk in the project's widgets/ folder, and commit it — a gitignored widgets/ makes every other clone unbuildable.

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.
