data-slide-design
Design slides where the data makes the argument — the takeaway-titled chart, the one-chart-per-slide rule, the annotation layer that guides the eye to the point, and the honesty pass on projected data. Use when asked make this data slide land, my chart slide confuses people, how do I present these numbers, or the audience missed the point of my graph. Produces the redesigned slide: takeaway title, the chart stripped and annotated, the eye-path check, and the honesty audit.

# Data Slide Design Skill A data slide has one job: the room, glancing, reaches the same conclusion the presenter did — and most fail by neutrality. The chart arrives titled "Revenue by Quarter," un-annotated, gridlines intact, every series equally weighted: technically accurate, rhetorically mute, and the room reads it six different ways (or not at all). The design discipline: the title *is* the takeaway ("Enterprise drove all of Q3's recovery"), the chart is stripped to what carries that point ([chart-choice](../chart-choice/SKILL.md) picks the form; this skill stages it), the annotation layer points the eye (the highlighted series, the arrow at the inflection, the labeled delta), and the honesty pass keeps persuasion from shading into distortion — because a room that catches one axis trick re-audits every slide you ever show. ## What This Skill Produces - **The takeaway title** — the slide's headline claim, doing the interpretive work - **The staged chart** — one chart, stripped, with the point's series highlighted and the rest dimmed - **The annotation layer** — the callout, the delta label, the reference line: the eye-path to the conclusion - **The honesty audit** — axes, base

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills --skill data-slide-design --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills, a repository with 1,255 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
