Select and implement data representations that accurately answer user questions and communicate uncertainty.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

8 rules. About 0 are common, 8 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈8

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 0

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    Use for charts, reporting, analytics, data exploration, or visualization components.

    line 10
  2. Distinctive:

    Do not use a chart when a concise number, explanation, or accessible table communicates the result better.

    line 15
  3. Distinctive:

    Verify data shape, units, time bounds, aggregation, and missing values.

    line 26
  4. Distinctive:

    Avoid misleading scales, decorative 3D, and color-only distinctions.

    line 34
  5. Distinctive:

    Test edge cases such as zero, negative, missing, and extreme values.

    line 35
  6. Distinctive:

    Never imply causation from a visual correlation.

    line 39
  7. Distinctive:

    Use color palettes with adequate contrast and non-color cues.

    line 41
  8. Distinctive:

    Check source and calculation, labels, scale, missing-data behavior, keyboard/screen-reader alternative, and small-screen legibility.

    line 58

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Analytics and Data Visualization

When to use

Use for charts, reporting, analytics, data exploration, or visualization components.

When not to use

Do not use a chart when a concise number, explanation, or accessible table communicates the result better.

Inputs and assumptions

Establish the question, data source, units, aggregation, time zone, missing data, audience, and actions the visualization should enable.

Workflow

  1. Define the question and comparison before choosing a chart type.
  2. Verify data shape, units, time bounds, aggregation, and missing values.
  3. Choose a visual encoding that matches the data: position for precise comparison, line for ordered trends, bars for categories, and tables for exact records.
  4. Label axes, units, periods, and relevant baselines; disclose normalized, sampled, or estimated data.
  5. Provide keyboard-accessible interaction and a text/table equivalent for essential information.
  6. Avoid misleading scales, decorative 3D, and color-only distinctions.
  7. Test edge cases such as zero, negative, missing, and extreme values.

Decision rules

  • Never imply causation from a visual correlation.
  • Preserve the data's meaning when filtering and aggregating.
  • Use color palettes with adequate contrast and non-color cues.
  • State when values are illustrative or synthetic.

Example

A time-series comparison should use the same time zone and interval for both periods; explain gaps where telemetry is missing instead of drawing a continuous line.

Common failures

  • Truncated axes that exaggerate small differences.
  • Unlabeled percentages and inconsistent time ranges.
  • Tooltips as the only source of exact values.

Validation

Check source and calculation, labels, scale, missing-data behavior, keyboard/screen-reader alternative, and small-screen legibility.

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
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

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.
