Pick the chart the data and the point actually need — the question-to-chart mapping (comparison, trend, composition, distribution, relationship), the honesty rules (axes, baselines, dual-axis traps), and the one-chart-one-point discipline. Use when asked what chart should I use, make this data visual, why does this chart feel misleading, or fix this graph for the deck. Produces the chart verdict with its reasoning, the honesty checklist applied, and the labeling that lets the chart travel without its author.

From the source SKILL.md

Chart choice is a sentence-completion exercise: the chart exists to make one stated point legible in three seconds, and the point's grammar picks the form — comparing things (bars), change over time (lines), parts of a whole (stacked/100% bars — pie only under five slices), distribution (histogram), relationship (scatter). Most bad charts are either the wrong form for the point, or the right form dressed dishonestly: truncated bar axes, dual axes engineered for drama, 3D anything. The skill picks the form, then runs the honesty pass.

What this skill does

Chart Choice is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the design-creative sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/chart-choice/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when asked what chart should I use, make this data visual, why does this chart feel misleading, or fix this graph for the deck. Produces the chart verdict with its reasoning, the honesty checklist applied, and the labeling that lets the chart travel without its author.
