Data Storytelling. Turn analysis into a decision-first narrative and interactive what-if analytics - SCQA story structure, findings-first headings, chart design, ipywidgets dashboards (threshold explorer, prevalence explorer, what-if scenario analyzer, cost-matrix editor, cohort filter, scenario comparison, sensitivity view), static fallback, nbconvert HTML and Voila export. Use for reports, presentations of results, executive summaries, dashboards in notebooks, interactive widgets or explaining findings to stakeholders.

AnthropicSkilldata-visualization
Create effective data visualizations with Python (matplotlib, seaborn, plotly). Use when building charts, choosing the right chart type for a dataset, creating publication-quality figures, or applying design principles like accessibility and color theory.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
2 rules. 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 8 edited versions we read keep these.
0
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
2
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 12
Every heading is a finding ("Recall drops 18 points below 2 percent prevalence"), not a topic ("Evaluation").
- Very specific: line 35
Every control has a description and a tooltip.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 8 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Data Storytelling
Narrative rules
- Lead with the decision: the first cell or slide states the takeaway as a sentence with its number.
- SCQA: situation, complication, question, resolution and action.
- Every heading is a finding ("Recall drops 18 points below 2 percent prevalence"), not a topic ("Evaluation"). In notebooks, compute headings with
display(Markdown(f"## ..."))so the numbers are real. - One message per chart. The title states the takeaway, axes carry units, direct labels beat legends, colorblind-safe palette (Okabe-Ito), bar axes start at zero, no dual axes or 3D without need.
- End with recommended actions, risks, open questions and next steps, then limitations.
- Conditional wording: when a sentence interprets a number, write it so it stays true if the number moves (
'rose' if b > a else 'fell').
Widgets (core ipywidgets only)
Templates: templates/notebooks/whatif_dashboard.ipynb (seven panels) and story_report.ipynb.
| Panel | Controls | Shows |
| Threshold explorer | threshold slider | confusion matrix, precision, recall, F1, expected cost, point on the PR curve |
| Prevalence explorer | prevalence, remedy | accuracy, recall, precision, PR-AUC, ROC-AUC from a precomputed grid |
| What-if analyzer | sliders and dropdowns per predictor, reset | probability, label, local contributions, baseline versus scenario table |
| Cost-matrix editor | cost of FP and FN | optimal threshold, expected savings |
| Cohort filter | segment, time range | metrics and score distribution |
| Scenario comparison | name, save | table and chart of saved scenarios |
| Sensitivity view | predictor | ICE-style curve with the training range shaded |
Widget engineering
interactive_outputwithOutputwidgets, orinteract_manualfor heavy work.continuous_update=Falseon sliders that call a model. Never refit inside a callback; precompute grids.- State in one dictionary or small class.
- Every control has a description and a tooltip; layouts use
HBox,VBox,GridBoxwith set widths; keyboard reachable. - Clamp to the training range; warn on extrapolation.
- Each panel wraps a pure function; a static fallback cell calls every function with fixed inputs and prints tables, which also proves the callbacks run.
Export
jupyter nbconvert --to html keeps tables and static charts; voila notebook.ipynb serves widgets as a dashboard; widgets need a live kernel. In Colab, core widgets work; enable the custom widget manager only for third-party widgets.
Recipes: references/widgets.md.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
