Story: Port Tufte visualisation skill into ORE Studio

Table of Contents

This page documents a story in Sprint 18. It captures the goal, current status, acceptance criteria, and the tasks that compose it.

Goal

A tufte-viz skill exists in doc/llm/skills/ and is listed in the skills catalogue. It teaches the LLM to design and critique data visualisations using Tufte's principles. Two companion reference documents — adapted from the work of Dr. Angelica Parente — are converted from Markdown to org-mode knowledge files and stored alongside the skill.

Acceptance

  • doc/llm/skills/tufte-viz/SKILL.org exists and follows the standard skill layout (#+begin_export markdown frontmatter block, * When to use, * How to use, references to the knowledge docs).
  • doc/llm/skills/tufte-viz/references/tufte-principles.org exists as an org-mode knowledge file, with correct attribution to Dr. Angelica Parente in its header.
  • doc/llm/skills/tufte-viz/references/analytical-design.org exists as an org-mode knowledge file with the same attribution.
  • doc/llm/skills/claude_code_skills.org lists tufte-viz under * Design with a one-line description.
  • The source files in tmp/ (SKILL.md, references__tufte-principles.md, references__analytical-design.md) are removed once their content is in place.
