Flint Chart Plugin

Use when the user wants to visualize data — from 'which chart should I use?' to 'render this'. Helps pick the right chart from the analytical question (comparison / trend / distribution / relationship / proportion / flow / KPI), then authors a ChartAssemblyInput and renders via the flint-chart-mcp server (Vega-Lite / ECharts / Chart.js). Transform data before Flint; style tweaks after Flint.

Verify a rendered visual artifact actually says what it was supposed to say — open it, read its console errors, walk a failure catalog, and check it against the claim it was meant to carry. Works on charts, generated HTML reports, SVG, dashboards, diagrams, and any other output meant to be looked at. Use after render_chart / create_chart_view, after editing a post-Flint Vega-Lite spec, and before committing any generated HTML/SVG/PNG. Satisfied by the host's built-in browser tools or by the optional playwright MCP server.

Distill the one-sentence Big Idea, story arc, audience, and style stance for a chart BEFORE picking a chart type. Starts by questioning intent — whether the artifact should exist at all, and whether the stated purpose is the real one. Reads the surrounding docs / prose / ticket for an existing Big Idea first, then helps the user articulate one via a 3-question elicitation ladder if none is found. Asks whether the user wants a TRADITIONAL (safe) or INNOVATIVE (higher-impact, higher-risk) treatment. Use before invoking the flint-chart skill or the /render-chart prompt whenever the user's ask is 'chart this', 'visualize', 'make a chart', 'show the data', or when framing is unclear.
