Transforms data into compelling visual narratives by applying narrative structure, annotation techniques, scrollytelling patterns, and honest framing to data journalism, presentations, and infographics. Use when creating data-driven articles or reports, designing infographics with narrative, building scrollytelling experiences, annotating charts to guide interpretation, or when user mentions data storytelling, presentation design, annotated chart, narrative visualization.

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.

**Core principle:** Structuring data as narrative (Context → Problem → Evidence → Insight) aids comprehension and retention. Annotations guide attention, progressive disclosure reveals complexity gradually, and framing provides context for accurate interpretation.

**Related skills:** Use `cognitive-design` for cognitive principles, `d3-visualization` for D3.js implementation, `design-evaluation-audit` for systematic evaluation, `cognitive-fallacies-guard` for integrity checks.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ethanyoq/skill-hub/visual-storytelling-design@sha256:a9dbce648342ea5d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260919.e8b19bf, 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.
