Turn query results or DataFrames into publication-quality charts with Python.
The material indicates this is essentially an open-source prompt-style visualization workflow with no declared secrets or remote endpoints, so overall risk is low. Caution is still warranted because the instructions involve generating charts with Python, handling uploaded files, and potentially querying connected data sources, which in a real host environment usually implies local code execution and data access.
The material and objective checks indicate no required secrets or environment variables. There is no request for API tokens, database passwords, or other sensitive credentials, so credential exposure risk appears low.
No remote endpoints are declared, and the system checks also show no host. The README mentions querying a connected data warehouse if available, but it does not specify sending data to unknown third-party services. Based on the provided material, there is no clear network egress path.
The README explicitly instructs the skill to write and execute Python code to generate charts, with examples using matplotlib/seaborn/plotly and saving files. This is a normal local code-execution capability for visualization, with no evidence of excessive system privileges, but it should still be treated as executable code.
The material says it can handle query results, pasted data, CSV/Excel files, and existing conversation data, and it writes chart image files. This implies possible reading of local uploaded data, access to connected data sources, and writing output files; this is normal for this kind of skill, with no obvious sign of overbroad access.
The source is the GitHub repository anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins, and the system marks it as open-source and prompt-only, which are strong risk-reducing factors because the contents are auditable. Although the license is unspecified, stars are 0, and maintenance is unknown, there are no clear high-risk red flags such as closed-source exfiltration, malicious injection, or deceptive behavior in the provided material.

If data is pasted or uploaded:
If data is from a previous analysis in the conversation:
If the user didn't specify a chart type, recommend one based on the data and question:
| Data Relationship | Recommended Chart |
|---|---|
| Trend over time | Line chart |
| Comparison across categories | Bar chart (horizontal if many categories) |
| Part-to-whole composition | Stacked bar or area chart (avoid pie charts unless <6 categories) |
| Distribution of values | Histogram or box plot |
| Correlation between two variables | Scatter plot |
| Two-variable comparison over time | Dual-axis line or grouped bar |
| Geographic data | Choropleth map |
| Ranking | Horizontal bar chart |
| Flow or process | Sankey diagram |
| Matrix of relationships | Heatmap |
Explain the recommendation briefly if the user didn't specify.
Write Python code using one of these libraries based on the need:
Code requirements:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns
import pandas as pd
# Set professional style
plt.style.use('seaborn-v0_8-whitegrid')
sns.set_palette("husl")
# Create figure with appropriate size
fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(10, 6))
# [chart-specific code]
# Always include:
ax.set_title('Clear, Descriptive Title', fontsize=14, fontweight='bold')
ax.set_xlabel('X-Axis Label', fontsize=11)
ax.set_ylabel('Y-Axis Label', fontsize=11)
# Format numbers appropriately
# - Percentages: '45.2%' not '0.452'
# - Currency: '$1.2M' not '1200000'
# - Large numbers: '2.3K' or '1.5M' not '2300' or '1500000'
# Remove chart junk
