tufte-vdqi-plugin

Produce a real, publication-ready data graphic (SVG or HTML) that obeys Tufte's principles — minimal ink, range-frame axes, direct labels, honest proportions. Use whenever someone wants to design, build, create, draw, or actually produce a chart the Tufte way, or to rebuild a chart after assessment found problems. This is the only skill in the toolkit that outputs an actual chart file.

Evaluate a data graphic against Edward Tufte's nine criteria, name the chartjunk species present, compute lie factor, compare against VDQI's named-failure catalogue, and return prioritised fixes tagged with the specific Tufte remedy (B1–B7), genre to switch to (C1–C10), and exemplar to emulate. Use whenever someone asks whether a chart is good, what is wrong with a chart, how to clean up or declutter a chart, whether a graphic is misleading, or for any Tufte-style critique of an existing visualization.

Router for the Tufte data-visualization toolkit. Use whenever someone has a chart or data-visualization request and you are not sure which Tufte skill to use — it decides between assessing an existing graphic, producing a new one, or fixing a cluttered/misleading one, and chains them when needed.
