d3-visualization

nexu-io/open-design

Teach agents to create complex D3.js charts and interactive data visualizations.

What is d3-visualization?

This skill equips agents with expert-level D3.js knowledge to generate interactive visualizations including bar charts, line charts, maps, force graphs, sankeys, treemaps, sunbursts, and choropleths. Use it when you need data-rich prototypes, editorial dashboards, reports, or explanatory graphics with animation and scroll-driven interactions.

  • Generate D3 bar, line, and area charts
  • Create force-directed network graphs and node-link diagrams
  • Build treemaps, sunbursts, and hierarchical layouts
  • Produce maps including choropleths and geographic visualizations
  • Implement scroll-driven and animated transitions
  • Design interactive dashboards and editorial visualizations

How to use d3-visualization

  1. 1.Clone the upstream snow-d3 repository into your skills directory
  2. 2.Ask the agent to invoke the skill by name or use trigger phrases like 'Create a zoomable treemap' or 'Build a force-directed network graph'
  3. 3.Provide your dataset and specify the chart type or interaction pattern needed
  4. 4.The agent will generate D3 code with appropriate scales, axes, and interactivity

Use cases

Good for
  • Creating zoomable treemaps for sales or organizational data
  • Building force-directed network graphs for relationship mapping
  • Generating calendar heatmaps or time-series visualizations
  • Producing choropleth maps for geographic data analysis
  • Designing scroll-triggered narrative visualizations for reports
Who it's for
  • Data journalists and editorial teams
  • Dashboard and analytics developers
  • Product designers prototyping data-rich interfaces
  • Business intelligence and reporting specialists

How to use

This catalogue entry advertises the skill in Open Design 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"
