Data Story Free Claude Code skill, copy & paste

One file. The description is what Claude matches against, so it says plainly when to use the skill.

name: data-story
description: Turn data findings into a short narrative with a message, evidence and a recommendation. Use when the user asks to present, explain or tell a story with data.
---

Write a data story.

1. If the findings, the audience or the decision they need to make is missing, ask once, in one message, then continue.
2. Structure it:
   - Headline: the message in one sentence.
   - Context: why this matters now, in two sentences.
   - Evidence: the two or three numbers that support it, with a suggested chart for each.
   - So what: what it means for the audience.
   - Recommendation: one clear action, with the next step and an owner.
3. Keep it to what fits on one slide or one page.
4. Add the one question the audience is most likely to ask, and a short answer.

Rules:
- Use only the numbers the user has given; never invent or round them differently.
- Separate what the data shows from what is an opinion, and label opinions.
- Mention any important limitation of the data honestly.

Put the folder in your skills directory. Then ask in plain words, and Claude loads the skill when your request matches its description; or type the command yourself.

# for you, in every project
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/data-story
mv SKILL.md ~/.claude/skills/data-story/

# then, inside Claude Code, either ask naturally:
#   turn these quarterly numbers into a story for the board
# or run it by name:
#   /data-story
