visualizing-change-over-time

visualizing-change-over-time is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from PostHog/posthog-foss. It costs 169 tokens per session (1,340 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for choosing charts that show how values change over time or between two periods. It covers lines, areas, bars, and slope charts, where a slope chart connects each item’s before and after values.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building dashboards, reports, or frontend visualizations for trends, before-and-after comparisons, period changes, or category rankings.
Why use it?
It helps match the chart to the shape of the data so trends, comparisons, and rank changes are easier to read. It avoids using a chart that hides the important relationship.

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

visualizing-change-over-time 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.

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.

Visualizing change over time

When a request is about how something changed, the default reach is a line/area trend — and that is usually right for a continuous series with many x points. But for some change-over-time shapes a different chart reads far better. This skill is the menu to offer, including the slope graph, when building visualizations with @posthog/quill-charts.

Present the fitting option(s) and let the user choose — none of these is mandatory.

Pick by the shape of the change

The change is… Reach for Why
A continuous series over many time points (a trend) TimeSeriesLineChart / LineChart (area fill for emphasis) The standard trend; the slope between every pair of points is visible.
Two points only (before → after) across several series/categories SlopeChart One line per entity from a left "before" to a right "after" — direction and magnitude of each entity's change, and rank flips, read at a glance.
Magnitude comparison at points in time (not the path between them) BarChart / TimeSeriesBarChart Bars compare discrete values; group/stack for sub-series.
A single headline number plus its change vs a prior period MetricCard Big number + sparkline + change pill.

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.
