Tufte Router

Front door to the 38-skill Edward Tufte pack. Route the task to the smallest set of sibling skills, load them, apply them to the work at hand. Do not return a catalog or a description of the pack — use it. (Tufte's own trilogy framing, VE p.10: VDQI = pictures of numbers, EI = pictures of nouns, VE = pictures of verbs.)

Loading sibling skills — works in any agent

Every sibling skill is installed beside this one, in the same skills directory: ../<slug>/SKILL.md relative to this file (e.g. ~/.claude/skills/tufte-sparklines/SKILL.md, ~/.codex/skills/tufte-sparklines/SKILL.md).

• Claude Code: invoke the sibling by slug with the Skill tool.
• Codex CLI, Copilot CLI, Gemini CLI, opencode, or any other agent: read the sibling's SKILL.md with your file-read tool, then follow it. Reading the file IS loading the skill — no special tool required.
• Single-file fallback: if the siblings are not installed, read CANON.md in this folder — the complete pack condensed into one document. Use it whenever loading multiple siblings is impractical in your runtime.

Route

1. Treat any arguments after the invocation as the task. No arguments → use the active task.
2. Select 1–4 skills from the routing table. Load them, apply them, and name which you used in one line.
3. About to ship a display? Run the Master Audit below and load the matching skill for any point that fails.
