Chartsmith
A Claude Code skill for generating publication-quality data visualizations following Cole Knaflic's [*Storytelling with Data*](https://www.storytellingwithdata.com/) principles.
Feed it a CSV or describe your data — Chartsmith infers the right chart type, then produces clean, tweakable Python or R code. Every chart follows a 10-point [design constitution](CONSTITUTION.md): no chart junk, insight-driven titles, direct labels, and a two-layer [color system](PALETTE.md) that puts the story first.
