Chart Designer Skill

Overview

I help you design effective data visualizations by recommending the right chart types, generating configurations for popular charting libraries, and applying data visualization best practices.

What I can do:

• Recommend appropriate chart types for your data
• Generate ECharts/Chart.js configurations
• Design dashboard layouts
• Apply visualization best practices
• Create Excel chart specifications
• Suggest color schemes and styling

What I cannot do:

• Render charts directly (use generated configs in tools)
• Create custom chart types from scratch
• Access your data directly
