Teach agents to build D3.js charts and interactive data visualizations.
What is d3-visualization?
This skill equips agents with expert-level D3.js knowledge to generate complex, interactive visualizations including bar charts, line charts, maps, force graphs, sankeys, treemaps, sunbursts, and choropleths. Use it for editorial dashboards, reports, data-rich prototypes, and explanatory graphics.
- Generate D3 bar, line, and area charts
- Create interactive maps, force-directed graphs, and network visualizations
- Build treemaps, sunburst diagrams, and sankey flows
- Produce animated and scroll-triggered visualizations
- Design choropleths and calendar heatmaps
- Support editorial dashboards and data-rich prototypes

d3-visualization FAQ
The skill covers bar charts, line charts, area charts, maps, force-directed graphs, treemaps, sunbursts, sankeys, choropleths, calendar heatmaps, and animated/scroll-triggered visualizations.
No. You describe what visualization you want and the agent generates the D3 code. However, basic familiarity with data formats (JSON, CSV) and chart concepts is helpful.
Yes. The skill includes techniques for animations and scroll-triggered interactions, allowing the agent to build dynamic, animated visualizations.
The skill works with JSON and CSV data formats. You can provide data directly or reference a data source.
Yes. The skill can generate interactive dashboards suitable for editorial use, reports, and data-rich prototypes with drill-down and zoom capabilities.

How to use
This catalogue entry advertises the skill in OpenDesign so the agent discovers it during planning. To run the full upstream workflow with its original assets, scripts, and reference documents, install the upstream bundle into your active agent's skills directory:
# Inspect the upstream README for exact paths
open https://github.com/jiannanya/snow-d3/
# Clone or copy the snow-d3/ folder into your workspace's skills/ directory
git clone https://github.com/jiannanya/snow-d3.git skills/snow-d3
Then ask the agent to invoke this skill by name (d3-visualization) or with
one of the trigger phrases listed in this skill's frontmatter, e.g.:
"Create a zoomable treemap for my sales data" "Build a force-directed network graph like example 07 but for my own dataset" "Generate a calendar heatmap in D3"
