OpenData Skills

Agent skills for data, visualizations, and design. Built on the Agent Skills spec, distributed as a Claude Code plugin marketplace.

Installation

Claude Code

Add the marketplace, then install whichever plugins you need:

/plugin marketplace add tryopendata/skills

/plugin install opendata@opendata-skills
/plugin install openchart@opendata-skills
/plugin install opendesign@opendata-skills

Or from the CLI directly:

claude plugin marketplace add tryopendata/skills
claude plugin install opendata@opendata-skills

You can scope the install with --scope project (shared via version control) or --scope local (gitignored). Default is user (available everywhere).

OpenAI Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, VS Code/Copilot, etc.

Each skill is a standalone Agent Skills spec directory with a SKILL.md file. To use them on other platforms, copy the skill directory you want into your platform’s skills location (typically .agents/skills/):

plugins//skills//   # copy this directory

For example, to add svg-design to a Codex project:

cp -r plugins/opendesign/skills/svg-design .agents/skills/svg-design

Check your platform’s Agent Skills docs for where it discovers skills.

Migrating from pre-1.0? svg-design moved from the openchart plugin to the new opendesign plugin in v1.0.0.
