creating-visualizations

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables analysts to generate clear, actionable visualizations for data analysis sessions, bridging terminal exploration and rich image diagrams to support communication and decision-making.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Terminal-based visuals: Generate ASCII tables, sparklines, and bar representations using tools like plotext, termgraph, and sparklines for quick in-session analysis.
• Image-based visuals with Kroki: Produce Mermaid, GraphViz, Vega-Lite, D2, ERD, and DBML diagrams suitable for reports and presentations.
• End-to-end visualization workflow: Structure data, create visuals, and annotate with context to deliver self-contained analyses.
• Use Case: In a data review, generate a terminal table of metrics for quick skim, followed by a Mermaid workflow diagram to illustrate the process, then embed Vega-Lite charts in a final report.
• The Quick Start block below demonstrates how to begin by requesting a simple bar chart or a flow diagram.

Quick Start

To begin, prompt the skill to visualize a dataset by requesting a simple terminal bar chart for category totals, followed by a Mermaid flow diagram describing the data flow, and then a Vega-Lite chart for a subset of the data.
