Rich Data Tables

Turns a flat list-of-records table into a scannable dashboard panel. The default failure mode is dumping rows 1:1 from the data source into a table — technically correct, but it forces the human to do the aggregation, comparison, and prioritization in their head. This skill encodes that work into the UI instead.

When NOT to bother

Skip all of this for: small lookup tables (<5 rows), pure reference data with no magnitude/urgency dimension (e.g. a list of country codes), or when the user explicitly asks for a plain/export-style table (e.g. "give me a CSV-like table" or "just the raw data").

The five upgrades, in priority order

Apply as many as are relevant — don't force ones that don't fit the data.
