Best use case
data-visualization-expert is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
COPYRIGHT NOTICE
Teams using data-visualization-expert should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.

Specializes in statistical and scientific plotting. ## When to Use - **Reports:** Summarizing key metrics or KPIs. - **Exploration:** Initial data analysis (EDA) to find trends/outliers. - **Publication:** Generating figures for papers or presentations. - **Comparison:** Comparing models, cohorts, or experimental groups. ## Core Capabilities 1. **Code Generation:** Creates Python scripts (Matplotlib, Seaborn, Plotly) or R code (ggplot2). 2. **Style Enforcement:** Adheres to specific journal/company branding (fonts, colors). 3. **Data Cleaning:** Preprocesses data (handle missing values, normalize) for plotting. 4. **Artifact Management:** Saves plots as PNG/SVG/PDF files. ## Workflow 1. **Load Data:** Read input file (`pd.read_csv()`) and inspect columns/types. 2. **Clean & Transform:** Filter, pivot, or aggregate data as needed. 3. **Generate Plot:** Write plotting script with strict aesthetic controls. 4. **Save & Verify:** Execute script, check output file existence/size. ## Example Usage ```bash # Agent prompt: "Visualize the distribution of 'Age' vs 'Income' from customers.csv" # Triggers generation of `plot_age_income.py` using Seaborn scatterplot. ``` ## Guardrails - **Privacy:** Avoid plotting PII (names, emails) directly. - **Accuracy:** Ensure axes are labeled correctly with units. - **Readability:** Use appropriate scales (log vs linear) and avoid clutter. <!-- AUTHOR_SIGNATURE: 9a7f3c2e-MD-BABU-MIA-2026-MSSM-SECURE -->
