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

dataviz 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 2 executable files (scripts/validate_palette.js, scripts/validate_palette.test.js), 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.

What it actually says

Dataviz

Use this skill before producing a chart, dashboard, map, or data visualization.

Workflow

  1. Identify the analytic task: comparison, trend, distribution, relationship, ranking, part-to-whole, geography, or status monitoring.
  2. Choose the simplest chart form that answers that task. Read references/choosing-a-form.md when the form is not obvious.
  3. Write the finding into the title, subtitle, axis label, or direct annotation. A viewer should know what changed, what is high or low, or what decision the chart supports.
  4. Pick colors from references/palette.md, or validate any custom palette with the script below.
  5. Check references/anti-patterns.md before finalizing the design.

Palette Validation

Resolve paths relative to the skill base directory shown above this skill body. Do not assume $QWEN_SKILL_ROOT is set for normal shell commands.

Run:

node <skill-base-directory>/scripts/validate_palette.js '#1d4ed8,#b45309,#166534' --mode light

Treat FAIL as a required palette change. Treat WARN as acceptable only when the chart also uses labels, shape, texture, ordering, or another secondary encoding.

Mark Rules

  • Use categorical palettes for unordered groups; use sequential or diverging ramps only for ordered values.
  • Prefer direct labels over legends when the chart has a small number of series.
  • Keep gridlines subtle and fewer than the data marks.
  • Avoid dual axes unless both series share a clearly explained transformation.
  • Do not rely on color alone for critical distinctions.
  • Keep dashboards scan-friendly: align cards, use consistent number formats, and reserve saturated color for important state changes.
Files

What ships with it

5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
