dataviz

dataviz is a skill for Claude Code from xobotyi/cc-foundry. It costs 148 tokens per session (2,812 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A set of rules for designing monitoring and observability dashboards—screens that show whether software is working and where problems are happening.

In plain words
What is it for?
Choosing suitable chart types, arranging dashboard information, using time-series and color consistently, and presenting measures such as response rates, errors, usage, and service targets.
Why use it?
It helps dashboards communicate accurately when people need to make quick decisions during an incident. It reduces misleading charts, confusing layouts, and unsafe color choices.

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 B, and why

dataviz scanned grade B with 1 finding 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.

Strips warnings and disclaimersmediumAnti-refusal

Omitting safety caveats hides risk from the user and is a common jailbreak preamble.

Data Visualization for Dashboards

A dashboard is a tool for fast, accurate judgement under operational stress. Every visual choice supports that judgement or undermines it.

Scope

  • In scope: chart selection, encoding accuracy, color, layout and hierarchy, time-series conventions, observability frameworks (RED, USE, Four Golden Signals, SLO/SLI), anti-patterns, review criteria.
  • Out of scope:
    • Grafana JSON, panel options, transformations, variables, library panels — dashboards sibling owns mechanics.
    • Alert rule definitions — alerting sibling. This skill covers SLO/SLI dashboard structure, not rule firing.
    • Query syntax — promql / metricsql / logsql siblings.

References

  • Perception and encoding — [${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/perception.md] Cleveland & McGill hierarchy, pre-attentive attributes, Tufte data-ink and chart junk, Stephen Few counterpoint.
  • Color — [${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/color.md] Semantic conventions, sequential/diverging/categorical palettes, Viridis, colorblind safety, WCAG contrast, dark/light themes, Grafana scheme mapping.
  • Layout — [${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/layout.md] F/Z patterns, tiering, grid discipline, progressive disclosure, RED/USE/Four Golden Signals, SLO/SLI dashboard structure.
  • Time-series specifics — [${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/time-series.md] Aspect ratio, baseline, interpolation, aggregation, dual y-axes, stacking.

Encoding hierarchy

Cleveland & McGill (1984), most → least accurate:

  1. Position on a common scale
  2. Position on non-aligned scales (small multiples)
  3. Length (bar charts)
  4. Angle / slope (pie slices)
  5. Area (bubble plots, treemaps)
  6. Volume (3D)
  7. Color saturation / luminance
  8. Color hue (categorical only)

Pick encodings as high as the data shape allows. Color hue distinguishes categories; never magnitude.

Chart-type selection

Flows from data shape and the question being answered. dashboards skill has the panel-type catalog; this skill has the rationale.

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.
