What the agent is told
This is the skill's SKILL.md, exactly what Metaphor reads before the task.
Use <script src="lib:chart"></script> to load the bundled offline window.Chart (Chart.js-compatible API).
1. Mandatory rules for <canvas> charts
- Never fabricate data. Every plotted series must come from a file you read, a command you ran, a mathematical formula, or a cited source.
- Height lives on the wrapper
<div>, never on<canvas>:<div style="position: relative; width: 100%; height: 260px;"> <canvas id="chart"></canvas> </div> <canvas>cannot resolve CSS variables (var(--...)). Pass explicit hex colors from our chart palette:- Series 1 (Blue):
#378ADD - Series 2 (Teal):
#1D9E75 - Series 3 (Purple):
#7F77DD - Series 4 (Coral):
#D85A30 - Series 5 (Amber):
#BA7517 - Series 6 (Pink):
#D4537E - Neutral / baseline (Gray):
#888780
- Series 1 (Blue):
- Build a custom HTML legend above the chart (with 10×10px color swatches and summary values) and disable the built-in canvas legend (
plugins: { legend: { display: false } }). - Round tick labels and format units (
$1.2M,45 ms,82%). Place minus signs before currency (-$5, never$-5).
