Joining Data · owid
This skill describes how to join data with Our World In Data data, e.g. when you want to calculate per capita data by using the OWID population data or when you want to create a scatter plot against GDP per capita using OWID's GDP data. It also applies to other cases where several data sources that each have data for multiple countries should be joined together.

▌
Owid Catalog · owid
Access Our World In Data from Python with the owid-catalog library: load chart data, catalog tables or individual indicators as pandas DataFrames that carry their own units, descriptions, sources and citations. Use this skill whenever the work happens in Python or a notebook (pandas, a uv script, matplotlib, parquet); whenever you need an indicator's metadata, units or codebook; whenever you need dimensions that published charts flatten away, such as sex, age group or projection variant; or whenever you need to search OWID's full catalog of indicators and tables, including semantic search by meaning, rather than only its published charts. Prefer it over the HTTP-based search-charts and fetch-chart-data skills for any Python-based analysis.

▌
Search Charts · owid
Search Our World In Data's published charts by keyword to find the chart you need, across topics like population, energy and electricity, CO2 and climate, poverty and GDP, health and causes of death, education, democracy, violence and war. Use this whenever someone wants to find, browse, link or embed an OWID chart and does not already have its URL, or asks what OWID publishes on a topic. Returns each chart's title, subtitle and URL, plus which visualisations it supports so you can build a ?tab= link. Not for: fetching the data behind a URL you already have (use fetch-chart-data); Python or pandas work, indicator and column metadata, or searching the full catalog of indicators and tables beyond published charts (use owid-catalog); combining OWID data with your own (use joining-data).

Fetch Chart Data · owid
This skill describes how to fetch data for an Our World In Data chart, once the relevant chart URL has been identified. Consult this skill to understand the possible query params to get the best results and to understand the response. Use it when you need to fetch data and have already identified the relevant chart URL.

▌
Animate · owid bundle
Build an animation from scratch, making the decisions in the order that determines whether it feels right — should it animate at all, what purpose, which tool, which properties, which curve and duration, how it interrupts, how it exits. Writes the implementation. Use when asked to animate something, add motion, make a component feel alive, or build a transition. For critiquing existing motion use review-animations; for auditing a whole codebase use improve-animations.

Emil Design Eng · owid
This skill encodes Emil Kowalski's philosophy on UI polish, component design, animation decisions, and the invisible details that make software feel great.

0
installs
▌
Test On Staging · owid
Test a change on a branch's staging server without a browser — inspect or patch a chart's config remotely, pick the right preview link to share, and know why /search 404s there. Use when testing on staging-site-<branch>, reading or changing a chart config on a remote server, or pointing someone at a chart on staging.

0
installs
▌
Improve Animations · owid bundle
Survey a codebase's animation and motion code as a senior motion advisor, then produce a prioritized audit and self-contained implementation plans for other agents (or cheaper models) to execute. Read-only on source code — it plans improvements, it does not apply them. Use when the user asks to "improve the animations", "audit the motion", "make this app feel better", or wants a roadmap of animation fixes rather than a review of a single diff.

installs
▌
Create Bespoke Viz · owid
Create or extend a bespoke data viz project under bespoke/projects/ — self-contained, Shadow-DOM-embedded visualizations for OWID articles. Use when scaffolding a new bespoke project, building its layout/controls, choosing shared components, or deciding what to reuse from the grapher packages.

installs
▌
Animation Vocabulary · owid
Reverse-lookup glossary that turns a vague description of a web animation or motion effect into its exact term ("the bouncy thing when a popover opens" → Pop in; "the iOS rubber-band scroll" → Rubber-banding). Use when the user asks "what's it called when…", or describes a motion effect without knowing its name and wants the right word to prompt an AI or designer with. For naming an effect, not designing or building one.

0
installs
▌
Find Animation Opportunities · owid
Search a codebase or UI for places that don't animate but should, and reject everything that shouldn't. Read-only; it proposes motion with exact values, it does not implement it. Use when the user asks "what could be animated here?" or wants to "make this feel more alive". For fixing existing animations, use improve-animations or review-animations instead.

installs
▌
Create Dataset · owid
Create a brand-new OWID dataset in ETL from a data file the user provides — a local CSV/Excel, a downloaded file, or a web link to data (snapshot → meadow → garden → grapher → PR → staging server). Use when someone has data they want in ETL so they can build charts. Designed for non-technical "Cloud co-work" users: infer aggressively, build a working dataset first, then ask the person to review and correct.

installs
▌
Fix Dependabot · owid
Resolve Dependabot security alerts on owid/etl by upgrading vulnerable dependencies. Use when the user mentions "dependabot", "security alerts", "vulnerability", "CVE", "security fixes", "dependabot alerts", or wants to fix vulnerable packages.

installs
▌
Add Gdp Scatter · owid bundle
Add a scatter view (with GDP per capita on x) to existing OWID charts via the admin API, mirroring the admin UI's "Add scatter type" defaults, then retire the old standalone "X vs. GDP per capita" charts by redirecting their slugs to that scatter view. Trigger when the user pastes a table with columns `chart_admin_url`, `target_chart_admin_url`, `gdp_source` (part 1), or a list of `{grapher_url, target_chart_url}` pairs to redirect (part 2).

▌
Create Explorer · owid
Author or modify an Our World in Data explorer (multi-dimensional dashboard with dropdown selectors, published from ETL via `viz://explorer/<ns>/latest/<short>`). Trigger when the user wants to build a new explorer, add/remove views or dimensions on an existing one, change the explorer's chart text or selection defaults, or finish an explorer migration once the snapshot/garden/grapher chain is already in place.

0
installs
▌
Create Multidim · owid
Create multi-dimensional (multidim/MDIM) chart configurations in the OWID ETL pipeline. Use this skill when the user wants to create a new multidim, build a multi-dimensional chart, combine multiple charts into one with dimension toggles, or mentions 'multidim' or 'MDIM'.

▌
Create Snapshot · owid
Create a new snapshot (DVC file, plus a Python script only when one is needed) from a url_main and optional url_download. Fetches the page, extracts metadata with AI, confirms with user, writes files, and runs the snapshot. Use when the user wants to add a new data source or create a snapshot from a URL.

▌
Query Grapher DB · owid
Query the grapher MySQL database (local dev, a branch's staging server, or production via the public Datasette) and verify indicators and charts on a staging server. Use when you need to run SQL against grapher, find which charts use an indicator, assess the blast radius of a data fix, or check that a chart/indicator renders correctly on staging-site-<branch>.

0
installs
▌
Wildfires Update · owid
Update OWID's GWIS weekly wildfires data (climate/*/weekly_wildfires) on its own, outside the monthly climate batch. A start-to-finish runbook covering the version bump, the snapshot, the checks, the chart remap on staging, and archiving. Also explains the source's weekly grid and why its most recent point is always an undercount. Use when the user wants to refresh wildfires data, run the weekly fire-season update, or asks why our wildfire numbers lag or keep being revised.

installs
▌
Create Static Viz · owid bundle
Build or refresh an OWID static visualization end to end — resolve what data it needs from an old static viz image, an indicator, or a grapher chart; check both the ETL catalog and the producer's own site for a newer release and route to /create-dataset or /update-dataset when one exists; write the viz://static matplotlib step that emits Figma-ready SVG and PNG at the static-chart templates' proportions; then hand off to /create-figma-chart. Trigger when the user asks to "refresh this static viz", "remake this chart as a static image", "create a static viz", pastes an old static viz image or filename and asks for a better version, or picks up a viz from the static-viz refresh queue.

▌
Add Ivs Indicators · owid bundle
Add new survey question codes (e.g. C001, D059, H002_01, Y022, E268, G055) to OWID's values-survey pipeline WITHOUT bumping the version — either the Integrated Values Surveys table (integrated_values_surveys, WVS+EVS merged) or the World Values Survey table (world_values_survey, WVS-only questions). Both tables live in the same ivs/<version> garden+grapher dataset. Use when the user wants to add IVS/WVS/EVS questions, extend integrated_values_surveys or world_values_survey, or says "add these codes to IVS" / "add these WVS questions".

▌
Create Figma Chart · owid bundle
Turn an OWID chart — a grapher slug, a customized grapher link, an MDim view, an explorer view, an admin link, a narrative chart, a bespoke (client-rendered React) visualization, or just a description — into a templated chart in the design team's yearly "Charts (YYYY)" Figma file. Exports the chart SVG, creates a new page named "YYYYMMDD Title (Creator)", places the original chart and an adapted template side by side, replicates title/subtitle/data source/note in the template's styles, fits the chart into the template, proposes better labeling (direct line/bar labels instead of legends) and annotations with the file's curvy arrows, and names the final frame with the kebab-case slug used for the website PNG. Also builds the 302-wide "small" and "pull" chart thumbnails that sit in an article's chart-rows and pull-chart blocks, including inside a guided chart. Trigger when the user asks to "create a figma chart", "make a static chart in Figma", "prepare this chart for Instagram / as a data insight image", "put t

▌
Data Updates Comms · owid
Draft answers for OWID's data-updates-comms Slack template using snapshot DVC + garden metadata + staging DB queries. Use when the user wants to fill the "Message about new data update" form, announce a dataset update to the internal #data-updates-comms channel, or generate the FAQ-style Slack post after an ETL update. Mechanical fields (producer, dates, coverage, chart count, search URL) are filled directly; editorial fields (why it matters, caveats, what's interesting about this update) get prompts seeded with extracted context for the user to refine. This is the INTERNAL Slack form only — for the public reader-facing "Data update" post on ourworldindata.org/latest, use /data-update-announcement instead.

▌
Map Charts To Mdim · owid bundle
Propose redirects from (soon-to-sunset) grapher charts to the matching views of published MDIMs. Selects charts by tag, slug list, or dataset id; matches each chart to MDIM views by indicator IDs (auto-discovering ALL published MDIMs as targets by default); writes a proposal CSV, one redirect payload JSON per source chart, a side-by-side review HTML, and the `;`-delimited CSV that grapher's `createMultiDimRedirectsFromCsv` CLI consumes. Also audits every article, explorer, narrative chart, data insight, static viz and featured metric that links, embeds or features each chart, with the replacement URL. Only charts with a confident match get a proposed redirect — the rest are reported. Creating the redirects is a separate, human-run step. Trigger when the user says "map charts tagged <X> to mdims", "propose chart -> MDIM redirects", "which charts are covered by the new multidim", "where do I replace the embedded charts", "we're sunsetting these charts in favour of the MDIM", or similar.

installs
▌
Check Chart Preview · owid bundle
Check chart or multidim preview on the staging server using a browser. Use when user wants to visually verify a chart renders correctly on staging, take a screenshot of a chart, or QA a chart/mdim preview.

installs
▌
Edit Faust Metadata · owid bundle
Edit user-facing chart and indicator text (FAUST — Title, Subtitle, Footnote — plus description_short, description_key, units, display.name, attribution_short, entity selection, and any other user-facing metadata) from a conversational request in the terminal. Accepts a chart or MDim referenced by live link, staging preview link, admin link, bare slug, chart id, or indicator catalogPath. Routes each edit to the right layer (garden .meta.yml, MDim yaml/py, or chart config via the admin API — ALWAYS on staging, never production), reports the blast radius on other charts/MDim views/explorers before applying shared-metadata changes, and ships via a PR with an automated @codex review loop. Trigger on "change the subtitle of <link> to …", "fix the footnote on this MDim view", "edit the units / description_key / selected countries of …", or any pasted grapher/staging/admin link plus an edit request. Also covers the legacy audit mode ("dump/audit the FAUST for dataset X", "review the text of all views in this MDim")

installs
▌
Sync Grapher Schema · owid
Sync upstream grapher schema changes (new chart types, config fields, enum values) into the ETL repo — vendored schema, multidim-schema, dataset-schema, and regenerated Python types. Use when the scheduled sync workflow opened a draft PR or issue that needs completing, when the web team announces a grapher schema change ("new chart type in Grapher", "I added a field to the grapher config"), when someone asks to "sync the grapher schema", or when grapher configs fail ETL validation on fields that work fine in the grapher admin.

installs
▌
Add Provider Regions · owid
Add an external provider's regional aggregation (e.g. World Bank, WHO, Maddison, WID, ILO) to OWID's regions dataset — definitions in regions.yml, per-provider grapher map indicators, and metadata — then register it in owid-grapher, including proposing each region's chart color (ContinentColors) and map color (MapContinentColors) for design sign-off and recording the agreed palette on the design team's Figma board. First checks whether the provider's dataset already encodes the regions and their country composition; if not, asks the user for a reference (link/doc) to derive it from. Trigger when the user wants to add/define a provider's world regions, expose "{Provider} regions" on a map, pick or fix the colors of a provider's regions, or migrate an in-dataset region variable to the shared regions dataset.

0
installs
▌
Check Empty Entities · owid
Audit every surface that renders a dataset's indicators — charts, map tabs, MDim views, explorer views, narrative charts, and article references — for views whose pinned entity selection has no data in the new indicators (they render as empty charts with no error anywhere). Grades findings against production to separate update regressions from pre-existing gaps. Use when the user asks to "check for empty entities/views/charts", or as the optional audit step offered by /update-dataset (step 7) and /review-data-pr (§8d) — offered rather than automatic because the full sweep can consume many tokens on widely-charted datasets.

0
installs
▌
Check Metadata Style · owid bundle
Check user-facing indicator and chart metadata (titles, subtitles, descriptions, description_key/WYSK, display names) against OWID's Writing and Style Guide. Use when the user mentions the style guide, writing guide, chart copy quality, title/subtitle/WYSK review, or after editing any .meta.yml under etl/steps/data/ — garden or grapher. Most user-facing text is authored in garden and inherited by grapher; this skill reads the resolved metadata off the built grapher dataset, so garden-authored text is in scope.

0
installs
▌
Check Metadata Typos · owid
Check .meta.yml and snapshot .dvc files for spelling typos using codespell. Use when user mentions typos, spelling errors, metadata quality, or wants to check metadata files for mistakes.

▌
Map Explorer To Mdim · owid bundle
Take (soon-to-sunset) OWID explorers to redirected MDIMs, end to end. Maps each explorer's views to the views of one or more replacement MDIMs, writes ONE apply-ready JSON payload per explorer for the admin bulk-redirect endpoint, audits every article that links or embeds each explorer (with the view each link will land on) plus the featured metrics pointing at it, preflights every validation the endpoint performs — including site redirects that would block it — and covers retiring the explorer's ETL step afterwards. Trigger when the user says "map explorer <slug> to mdim(s) <...>", "suggest explorer->MDIM redirects", "we're sunsetting the <slug> explorer, map its views to the new multidims", "redirect these explorers to MDIMs", or similar.

0
installs
▌
Migrate Explorer CSV · owid
Migrate a non-ETL CSV-based explorer (data lives in a static CSV hosted in `owid-grapher/public/explorers/` or on GitHub; explorer config has `tableSlug`/`table` blocks) into ETL by adding a snapshot → meadow → garden → grapher chain, then handing off to `/create-explorer` for the explorer step. Trigger when the user says "bring CSV explorer <slug> into ETL", or refers to fish-stocks (the only remaining target).

0
installs
▌
Vscode Extension Dev · owid
Develop, build, and test VSCode extensions in this repo. Use when editing extension source code, compiling TypeScript, packaging .vsix files, or installing extensions for testing.

0
installs
▌
Check Hardcoded Years · owid
Audit every surface that renders a dataset's indicators — charts, map tabs, MDim views, explorer views, narrative charts, and article embeds/links with time= parameters — for hardcoded time bounds (minTime/maxTime/timelineMinTime/timelineMaxTime/map.time pinned to a number instead of "earliest"/"latest"/absent) and grade each pin against the indicators' actual latest data point. A pinned maxTime silently hides newly added years after every dataset update until a human bumps it by hand. Runs in dataset mode (all surfaces carrying one dataset's indicators — the standard audit in /update-dataset step 7) or site-wide via the public Datasette. Use when the user asks to "check for hardcoded years/times", "find pinned minTime/maxTime", or wants to know which charts won't show newly added data.

0
installs
▌
Find Chart References · owid bundle
Find every OWID surface that references a chart, indicator, MDIM, or explorer — articles (links vs embeds), explorers, narrative charts, data insights, static viz, key-chart slots, MDIM views. Answers "what breaks or goes stale if this changes or goes away", and distinguishes surfaces a URL redirect fixes from surfaces that render the object themselves. Read-only, pure SQL. Trigger when the user asks "what references this chart/indicator", "where is this chart embedded", "what's the blast radius of this change", "which articles link to X", "what do I have to update if I retire this chart", or when another skill needs the surface sweep (map-charts-to-mdim, check-empty-entities, check-hardcoded-years, update-dataset).

0
installs
▌
Check Metadata Spacing · owid
Check rendered metadata (titles, subtitles, footnotes, descriptions, display names) for spacing issues caused by Jinja/Jinja2 templates. Use when user mentions spacing, whitespace, Jinja rendering, or wants to verify metadata renders cleanly after editing any .meta.yml under etl/steps/data/ — garden or grapher.

0
installs
▌
Adversarial Data Review · owid
Adversarially review an ETL dataset's data and metadata for factual accuracy — verifies metadata claims against the producer's own documentation (fetched from the links in snapshot .dvc files and metadata texts) and cross-checks anomalous plus anchor values against independent sources online, to catch unit errors, wrong-year values, and hard-to-detect mistakes made by the source itself. Use when the user asks to "adversarially review a dataset", "fact-check this dataset", "verify the data against the source", "cross-check the values", or as the factual-accuracy step inside /update-dataset, /create-dataset, and /review-data-pr.

0
installs
▌
Check Outdated Practices · owid
Check ETL step files for outdated coding patterns and offer to fix them. Use when user mentions outdated practices, legacy code patterns, modernizing steps, or wants to check code quality of ETL steps.

0
installs
▌
Data Update Announcement · owid bundle
Draft the short public-facing "Data update" post published on ourworldindata.org/latest whenever a data scientist refreshes a dataset — two alternative drafts in OWID house style, then a styled Google Doc in the team's /Data updates folder. Use whenever someone asks for a "data update", a data update post or announcement, an OWID announcement, or pastes a #data-updates-comms Slack message and asks for copy. Use it for partial requests too — just a title, just the CTA — and even when the ask is casual, e.g. "can you write up the SIPRI update?" or "we refreshed the WASH charts, need a post." Checks our prior coverage of the same data first and declines to draft when we posted about it less than six months ago. Also invoked by /update-dataset step 9b. This is NOT the internal Slack form itself — filling that in is /data-updates-comms.

installs
▌
Migrate Explorer Grapher · owid
Translate a non-ETL explorer (lives in MySQL `explorers` table; TSV mirrored in `owid-grapher/explorers/`) whose `graphers` block references variable IDs or chart IDs into the inputs `/create-explorer` needs. Resolves IDs to catalog paths, pulls per-chart config when needed, and produces the dimension + view layout. Trigger when the user says "bring <slug> explorer into ETL", "migrate grapher explorer <slug>", or refers to one of: energy, co2, democracy, global-health, food-prices, fertilizers, natural-disasters, food-footprints, plastic-pollution, conflict-data, conflict-data-source, countries-in-conflict-data.

▌
Owid Metadata Generation · owid
Use when creating or enriching metadata for OWID ETL datasets - generates comprehensive YAML metadata from dataset inspection, data exploration, and web research following OWID metadata standards. Trigger when writing or editing *.meta.yml files, when a garden step has empty or minimal metadata, or when user asks to improve/add/enrich metadata.

0
installs
▌
Report Indicator Changes · owid
Draft a short update message to a topic-owner reviewer after landing substantial dataset or chart changes on staging. The message lists the indicator changes with staging admin links, surfaces open design questions with option tables, and closes with a Chart Diff sign-off CTA. The output is markdown so the user can paste it into either Slack or a GitHub PR comment. Use after a dataset redesign or restructure when the iteration with the reviewer is back-and-forth and you need them to verify on staging before merge. Not for the canonical comms announcement — for that, see `data-updates-comms`.

0
installs
▌
Log Producer Interactions · owid bundle
Log the analytics reports sent to OWID's data producers, and the producers' replies, into the shared Notion reports log: one row per email, incrementally and without duplicates. Use after sending a round of producer analytics reports, or when the user says "log the report emails" or asks whether a producer ever replied to a report. Searches only the addresses recorded in the contacts table, only for report threads, and asks before writing anything. Runs against the caller's own mailbox only.

0
installs
▌
Remapping Ghost Variables · owid
Fix ghost variable warnings by remapping charts from old to new variable IDs. Use when ETL grapher step shows "Variables used in charts will not be deleted automatically", when indicator short_names were renamed and charts still reference old variables, or when the user mentions ghost variables, orphaned indicators, or chart variable remapping.

0
installs
▌
Review Explorer Mdim Mapping · owid bundle
Generate a self-contained HTML to review an explorer → MDIM view mapping side-by-side, with approve/flag controls and browser-persistent decisions. Consumes the output of the `map-explorer-to-mdim` skill (mapping_proposal.csv + mapping_rules.py + multidim_*_views.csv) and renders a single shareable HTML in `ai/`. Trigger after `map-explorer-to-mdim` when a human needs to verify the proposed explorer→MDIM correspondence chart-by-chart, or when the user asks to "review the explorer→MDIM mapping", "build a review tool for the <slug> migration", or "make a side-by-side HTML so <reviewer> can sign off".

▌
Migrate Explorer Indicator Legacy · owid
Modernize an explorer step that already exists in this repo but doesn't use the YAML-driven `paths.create_collection(explorer=True)` API yet. Covers two legacy shapes: (A) `data://explorers/<ns>/<v>/<short>` steps that write wide CSV tables for the legacy explorer infra (e.g. poverty_inequality, lis, wid, wb, emdat, monkeypox); (B) `viz://explorer/<ns>/latest/<short>` steps that already exist but build the TSV programmatically via `paths.create_explorer_legacy(df_graphers, df_columns)` (minerals, air_pollution, migration/2024-08-05, minerals_supply_and_demand_prospects). This skill extracts the dimensions/views/config from the legacy shape and hands them to `/create-explorer` to write the modern step. Trigger when the user says "migrate indicator-legacy explorer <short>", "convert create_explorer_legacy to create_collection", or "move data://explorers/... to viz://explorer/...".

installs
▌
Owl · owid
Working with Owl — OWID's lightweight, single-folder pipeline runner for small datasets (an alternative to the full snapshot → meadow → garden → grapher chain). Use whenever the user mentions Owl, `owl_steps/`, the `owl` CLI (`owl new`/`run`/`snapshot`/`viz`), or wants to create, migrate, run, or debug a small dataset with Owl.

0
installs
▌
Chart Editing · owid
Create or edit an ETL-authored Grapher chart — a single-chart `.config.yml` in `etl/steps/viz/chart/`. Use when the user wants to author a chart from ETL, edit one, change its title/subtitle/colors/map settings, or preview an ETL-authored chart on staging. For charts with dropdowns (multi-dimensional), use the `create-multidim` skill instead.

0
installs
▌
Etl Profiling · owid
Profile and optimize ETL step performance — CPU time, memory usage, and I/O bottlenecks. Use when an ETL step is slow, uses too much memory, or when the user asks to profile, optimize, or speed up a step. Covers profiling commands, categorical dtype optimization, vectorization, SUBSET filtering for fast dev runs, and iterative diagnose→fix→reprofile workflow.

0
installs
▌
Pr Babysitter · owid
Spawn a background agent that babysits an open PR — triggers a Codex review, watches CI, judges and fixes valid findings, replies to and resolves review threads, and loops to a cap. Never merges. Trigger when the user asks to "babysit the PR", "ask for codex review(s) and watch CI", or after pushing a substantial chunk to a PR branch.

▌
Site Screenshot False Positives · owid bundle
Diagnose and fix false positives in the site-screenshots diff that owidbot reports on owid-grapher PRs. Use when a PR reports "N pages changed" or a failed screenshot run and the change looks unrelated to the branch, when asked whether screenshot diffs are real, or when adding a normalisation to config.yaml. Holds the diagnostic method, the catalogue of classes already fixed, and the ones still open.
