Data Visualization Creator

Use this skill when the user needs a chart from data that already exists.

Overview

This skill focuses on everyday analytical visualization choices: bars, lines, scatters, distributions, comparisons, and simple dashboards.

When to Use This Skill

  • Plotting trends, distributions, comparisons, or correlations from structured data
  • Turning query output or CSV tables into charts for analysis or slides
  • Choosing a sensible chart type and axis treatment for a non-specialist audience

Not For / Boundaries

  • Journal-ready figures, multi-panel publication layouts, TIFF/600dpi exports: use scientific-visualization
  • Structural diagrams, flowcharts, and mechanism illustrations: use scientific-schematics or markdown-mermaid-writing
  • Full research-report ownership: use scientific-reporting

Integration

  • Pair with exploratory-data-analysis before plotting questionable data
  • Hand off to scientific-visualization if the chart must meet publication standards

Example Requests

  • "Plot monthly conversion rate with a confidence band"
  • "Make a scatter plot of latency vs throughput"
  • "Turn this CSV summary into a small dashboard"
