Review the charts already in a PowerPoint deck (.pptx) or described in chat, one by one, for the ways a chart misleads — wrong chart type, a truncated axis, a dual axis, 3D, pie misuse, a title the data contradicts, missing units — and give the fix for each. Use when the user asks whether their charts are misleading, honest, fair or "going to get me caught out", wants a chart review or chart check before a board, QBR or client meeting, or asks about a truncated or dual axis. Every finding…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Chart honesty A column chart whose axis starts well above zero can draw a 7% rise as a bar twice as tall. Nobody lied in a number, and the audience still leaves with the wrong size of change. This skill reviews each chart a deck already has and says, for each one, whether it misleads, how, by how much, and the fix. **The product is the settings.** Anyone can say "that chart looks off". Saying *the axis is set to start at 50, so the tallest bar is drawn 1.9× the shortest for an 11% difference*, from the chart's own XML, is what gets a chart fixed rather than argued about. **Its twin is restraint:** a line chart with a non-zero axis is fine, a picture can't be checked, and a clean chart is reported as clean. ## Workflow ### 1. Take the charts as given A `.pptx` / `.potx` path, or charts described in chat (type, categories, values, axis range, title, units). Read every slide once: each native chart's XML, the slide title and text, and the speaker notes. Number slides `S1…Sn` in deck order. Read `references/checks.md` §1 before extracting. It says what to read from the chart XML (plot type, `min`/`max`, value axes in use, number formats, axis titles), that **notes are …

How to install
mdr add raghuramsirigiri/raghuram-skills/chart-honesty@sha256:d7c86de8f021d98eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260927.de302bf, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
