This skill applies Edward Tufte's principles from *The Visual Display of Quantitative Information* to any data visualization: charts, dashboards, infographics. It helps data journalists, analysts, and dashboard designers produce cleaner, more truthful charts by stripping chart junk and emphasizing data-ink. The output can be self-contained HTML/SVG for one-offs or React components with Recharts or D3 for larger projects.
