  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • 1 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by podo on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the D3js Skill AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/podo/design-agent-skills/tree/main/skills/d3js-skill
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/podo/design-agent-skills.git /tmp/design-agent-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/design-agent-skills/skills/d3js-skill .claude/skills/d3js-skill
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable D3js Skill in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads D3js Skill on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so D3js Skill is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

d3js-skill

Catalogue stub — full skill: chrisvoncsefalvay/claude-d3js-skill

Decision tree

  1. Is the full skill already installed? Upstream names this skill d3-viz, so it installs next to this pointer (the pointer is not replaced).

    • Global: f=~/.agents/skills/d3-viz/SKILL.md; [ -f "$f" ] && ! grep -q "^das:" "$f" && echo "installed" || echo "pointer"
    • Project: f=.agents/skills/d3-viz/SKILL.md; [ -f "$f" ] && ! grep -q "^das:" "$f" && echo "installed" || echo "pointer"
    • installed → the skill is installed as d3-viz, invoke it and proceed
    • pointer → go to step 2
  2. Detect scope, then install:

    bash
    [ -e ~/.agents/skills/d3js-skill ] && echo "global" || echo "project"

    Global:

    bash
    npx skills add chrisvoncsefalvay/claude-d3js-skill --skill d3-viz -g -y

    Project:

    bash
    npx skills add chrisvoncsefalvay/claude-d3js-skill --skill d3-viz -y

    Claude Code: send a command as a chat message starting with ! to run it without leaving the conversation.

Heads-up

  • License: no LICENSE file in the repository
  • Name collision: d3-viz is also written by claud3 (its install or its catalogue pointer); installing both overwrites the earlier one.

Invoke after install

  • Skill name: d3-viz
  • Trigger phrases: "D3.js", "D3 chart", "D3 visualization", "data visualization D3"

What it does

Guides an agent through building bespoke D3.js visualizations with correct data binding patterns, scales, axes, transitions and interactivity (tooltips, zoom and pan, click handling). Covers common patterns such as bar, line and scatter charts, heatmaps, chord diagrams, pie charts and force-directed networks, plus responsive sizing, accessibility and performance practice. Ships reference notes (colour schemes, D3 patterns, scale reference) and starter chart templates next to the skill.

When NOT to use

  • Standard charts where a charting library is enough; D3 is for bespoke visualizations
  • 3D visualization — use cloudai-threejs
  • Choosing chart types and accessible palettes across libraries (D3, Chart.js, Matplotlib, Plotly) rather than writing D3 code — use data-viz-agent

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the D3js Skill AI skill do?

Create custom data visualizations with D3.js: bar, line and scatter charts, chord diagrams, heatmaps, force-directed networks and geographic maps, with proper data binding, scales, axes, transitions and interactivity. Works in React, Vue, Svelte or vanilla JavaScript.

Why use D3js Skill on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. D3js Skill is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install D3js Skill in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/podo/design-agent-skills/tree/main/skills/d3js-skill. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use D3js Skill?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with D3js Skill?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use D3js Skill with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the D3js Skill AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by podo under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
