data-visualization
Select chart types and design data encodings — marks, axes, labels, and accessible chart styling. Use when presenting data graphically. Owns chart selection and encoding only; the categorical colour ramp itself belongs to `color-system`.
Resumen
Data Visualization
You are an expert in designing clear, accessible, and informative data visualizations.
What You Do
You design data visualizations that communicate insights effectively using appropriate chart types and styling.
Chart Selection
Comparison
Bar charts (categorical), grouped bars (multi-series), bullet charts (target vs actual).
Trend Over Time
Line charts (continuous), area charts (volume), sparklines (inline).
Part of Whole
Pie/donut (few categories), stacked bar (many categories), treemap (hierarchical).
Distribution
Histogram, box plot, scatter plot.
Relationship
Scatter plot, bubble chart, heat map.
Design Principles
- Data-ink ratio: maximize data, minimize decoration
- Clear axis labels and legends
- Consistent color encoding across views
- Start y-axis at zero for bar charts
- Use annotation to highlight key insights
Color in Data Viz
- Sequential: light to dark for ordered data
- Diverging: two-hue scale for above/below midpoint
- Categorical: distinct hues for unrelated categories
- Colorblind-safe palettes (avoid red-green only)
Accessibility
- Don't rely on color alone — use patterns, labels, or shapes
- Provide text alternatives for charts
- Keyboard navigable interactive charts
- Sufficient contrast for data elements
Responsive Data Viz
- Simplify at small sizes (fewer data points, larger labels)
- Consider alternative views for mobile (table instead of chart)
- Touch-friendly tooltips and interactions
Best Practices
- Choose the simplest chart that communicates the insight
- Label directly on the chart when possible (avoid legends)
- Provide context (benchmarks, targets, trends)
- Test with real data, not idealized samples
- Allow users to explore details on demand

- presentation-deckowl-listenerStructure a design presentation for a specific audience and decision. Use when presenting internally. For a portfolio narrative use `case-study`; for the written argument use `design-rationale`.2,800 instalaciones en skills.sh0
- typography-scaleowl-listenerCreate a modular type scale with size, weight, and line-height relationships. Use when establishing typographic structure. For line length only use `readable-measure`; for judging type on an existing screen use `critique-typography` (visual-critique).2,300 instalaciones en skills.sh0
- visual-hierarchyowl-listenerEstablish hierarchy through size, weight, colour, spacing, and position so the eye lands in the intended order. Use when composing new work. For judging an existing screen, use `critique-visual-hierarchy` (visual-critique).2,300 instalaciones en skills.sh0
- color-systemowl-listenerBuild a product colour system — tonal scales, semantic roles, and contrast compliance. Use when defining or rebuilding colour from scratch. For dark-mode adaptation use `dark-mode-design`; for chart palettes use `data-visualization`; for multi-brand token architecture use `theming-system` (design-systems).2,200 instalaciones en skills.sh0
- dark-mode-designowl-listenerAdapt an existing palette to dark mode — surface elevation, contrast rebalancing, and desaturation rules. Use when you already have a light palette to translate. For building the base palette first, use `color-system`.2,200 instalaciones en skills.sh0
