Apply whenever you generate any chart, graph, or data visualization — from SQL results, in the chart-maker agent, in decks, or on "make a chart / visualize / plot / dashboard" requests. Enforces Storytelling With Data: gray first, one focus color, action titles, direct labels, no pies, using the helpers in helpers/viz/chart_helpers.py.
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
# Skill: Visualization Patterns ## Purpose Ensure every chart Claude Code produces follows high-quality design standards with named themes, consistent styling, and clear data communication. ## When to Use Apply this skill whenever generating a chart, graph, or data visualization. ### When someone asks for a pie chart Do not make the pie. Make the sorted bar (or a single stacked bar for parts of a whole), say in one sentence why (angles and areas are hard to compare; a bar shows the same shares with direct labels), and offer the pie only if they insist after seeing the bar. Producing both "to be safe" is not the standard; the bar is the deliverable. ### Default Theme: Minimal When no theme or palette is set, use the default styling without asking; offer palette options only when the user asks about themes or colors. The **minimal** theme is clean, professional, and suitable for most business contexts: - Warm off-white background (#F7F6F2) for reduced eye strain - Focus blue accent (#0072B2, an Okabe-Ito color) for the one element the takeaway argues - Helvetica font family - Left-aligned titles, minimal gridlines …

How to install
mdr add ai-analyst-lab/ai-analyst/visualization-patterns@sha256:623530a5f2e723efThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260902.b370de6, 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.
