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

visualization-builder 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/chart_builder.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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 35 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Visualization Builder

When to use

  • Choosing the right chart type for a specific analytical message
  • A chart exists but is cluttered, misleading, or failing to make the point
  • Building a chart for an executive presentation that must work without verbal explanation
  • Producing consistent, branded visualisations across a report or dashboard
  • Creating accessible charts that work for colorblind viewers or screen readers

Process

  1. Identify the message type — classify the chart's purpose: comparison (bar), trend over time (line), composition / part-of-whole (stacked bar, pie only for 2–3 categories), distribution (histogram, box plot), or relationship (scatter). The message type determines the chart type. See references/chart_selection_guide.md.
  2. Select and load the data — confirm the data is at the right grain for the chart. Aggregations (e.g., groupby month) should happen before plotting, not inside the chart library.
  3. Build the base chart — use scripts/chart_builder.py with pre-set professional styling (whitegrid, sans-serif, accessible color palette). Set axes, ticks, and scale deliberately — default settings are often wrong.
  4. Apply visual hierarchy — make the most important data element visually dominant (bolder line, darker bar, distinct color). De-emphasise secondary series. Remove every element that doesn't contribute to the message (gridlines at 0.2 alpha, no top/right spines). See references/visual_design_principles.md.
  5. Annotate for the reader — add a descriptive title that states the finding ("Mobile churn is 2× desktop"), not the variable names ("Churn by device type"). Annotate key data points, thresholds, and reference lines directly on the chart. Add a data source and date.
  6. Export and validate — export at 300 DPI for print or 150 DPI for web. View the chart at the intended display size. Check: is the key message legible in under 5 seconds? Does it work in greyscale? Complete assets/viz_spec_template.md if the chart is part of a larger deliverable.

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.
