Visualization Strategy And Critique — Agent Skill by OpenAI

From the author

Choose, lay out, critique, and explain data visualizations. Use when the user asks what visualization fits a dataset or goal, how a chart, dashboard, operational workspace, UML-like diagram, or software architecture diagram should be composed or interacted with, asks for visual page design, a layout mockup, generated large-screen and mobile concept images, or to be shown what a visualization could look like, when domain-native contextual surfaces or graphical backgrounds may help, when scrollytelling or parallax might be appropriate, wants a critique of an existing visualization, or needs guidance grounded in trusted visualization theory and practice. For advanced visual design or page-layout prompts where composition affects understanding, Codex must generate and show both large-screen and mobile portrait image concepts before implementation or text-only design handoff, plus mobile landscape when needed.
