New dataviz-svg tool enables AI agents to generate complex charts

A new tool called dataviz-svg has been developed to enhance the capabilities of AI agents like Claude Code and Codex by enabling them to generate complex data visualizations. Unlike Mermaid, which is limited to basic charts, dataviz-svg leverages Vega-Lite to create a wide array of statistical charts, including line, scatter, area, and heatmap plots. This skill generates SVG charts directly from Vega-Lite JSON specifications and embeds them into Markdown documents, offering a more expressive output for AI-generated content without requiring additional native dependencies.

    Rendering Charts Beyond Mermaid's Reach with Vega-Lite and Embedding Them in Markdown (via LLM Skills)

    <p>AI agents like Claude Code and Codex can write code, polish documentation, and automate complex tasks. But ask them to "make a scatter plot of this data" or "show the trend as a heatmap," and they hit a wall. Mermaid tops out at basic bar charts and pie charts — statistical vi…
