Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install chart-selection-design

With no option, the skill goes to ~/.agents/skills/; add --agent claude-code (or codex, cursor…) to target an agent.

First time: connect the CLI with

npx --yes palatekit@latest login

The agent picks the chart type from the relationship to show, avoids pitfalls (3D, pies, dual axes) and applies matplotlib, seaborn and plotly patterns. It follows rules such as insight-stating titles, bars starting at zero and colorblind-safe colors. You get figures ready for a report or a presentation.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to know how to code?

No, the agent writes and runs the Python code. Python and the matplotlib, seaborn and pandas libraries (plus plotly for interactive charts) must be installed on your machine.

Can I change the colors?

Yes. The provided palette is colorblind-friendly; you can ask for your brand colors while keeping good contrast.
