d3-visualization

nexu-io/open-design

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

How to use d3-visualization

  1. 1.Clone or copy the upstream snow-d3 repository into your workspace's skills directory
  2. 2.Ask the agent to invoke the skill by name (d3-visualization) or use trigger phrases like 'Create a D3 chart' or 'Build an interactive visualization'
  3. 3.Provide your dataset and specify the chart type (e.g., 'Create a zoomable treemap for my sales data')
  4. 4.The agent will generate D3 code with the appropriate scales, axes, interactions, and animations
  5. 5.Integrate the generated visualization into your HTML page or application

Use cases

Good for
  • Create an interactive sales dashboard with zoomable treemaps and drill-down charts
  • Build a force-directed network graph to visualize relationships in your dataset
  • Generate animated line charts showing trends over time with smooth transitions
  • Design a choropleth map displaying regional data distribution
  • Produce a calendar heatmap to visualize activity patterns or time-series data
Who it's for
  • Data journalists and editorial teams
  • Product managers building analytics dashboards
  • Data scientists creating interactive reports
  • Frontend developers prototyping data visualizations
  • Business intelligence professionals

d3-visualization FAQ

What D3 chart types does this skill support?

The skill covers bar charts, line charts, area charts, maps, force-directed graphs, treemaps, sunbursts, sankeys, choropleths, calendar heatmaps, and animated/scroll-triggered visualizations.

Do I need to know D3.js to use this skill?

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.

Can the agent create custom animations?

Yes. The skill includes techniques for animations and scroll-triggered interactions, allowing the agent to build dynamic, animated visualizations.

What data formats does this skill accept?

The skill works with JSON and CSV data formats. You can provide data directly or reference a data source.

Is this suitable for real-time dashboards?

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"
