Tufte — visual display, by the book

This skill turns "make me a chart" into a Tufte-compliant chart. Distilled from The Visual Display of Quantitative Information (1983/2001), Envisioning Information (1990), and Visual Explanations (1997).

What this skill produces

Two output stacks, selected by the user's project context:

  1. Self-contained HTML/SVG — single file, inline SVG, no external deps. For one-offs, embeds, screenshots, slide decks.
  2. React (Recharts + D3 fallback) — for projects that already use React. Recharts where the chart type fits; raw D3-in-React where it doesn't (slopegraph, sparkline-in-table, small multiples).

How to use this skill

When invoked, work through these in order:
