Bar chart race — how to make it with code and an AI agent

For AI agents: find the right skill in one call — curl -s "https://skills.varg.ai/api/search?q=<what the person wants>" returns the matching use case and the best skills with install commands, as markdown (Russian works too). Full index: https://skills.varg.ai/llms.txt. Every page has a markdown twin: add .md to its path. Before generating anything, show the person the options on the use-case page.

Rankings over time: bars overtake each other while a year ticks.

Output: 16:9 · 20–60 s · Input: A time series CSV

Recipe, beat by beat

Each beat lists components that build it; install any with its command, then fill its slots.

Title (Title cards)

• Canopy Part Title — Leaves sweep through the frame and part to reveal the headline. · npx hyperframes add canopy-part-title

• Text + Circle Carousel 2 — A headline mask-reveals word by word while a circle carousel converges from off-frame and threads the line, collapses to centre, hard-cuts t · npx hyperframes add carousel-text-circle-2

Race (Charts & data viz, Progress & timers)

• Animated Bar Chart — A compact data card with deterministic bar growth and value callouts. · npx hyperframes add animated-bar-chart
• Bar Chart Race — Ranked bars grow and overtake each other as a time series advances, with the axis rescaling as values climb and the accent handing over to w · npx hyperframes add bar-chart-race
• Chart Story — One chart builds from data in reading order and lands the exact supplied values: staggered bars, a left-to-right line with area fill, a swee · npx hyperframes add chart-story
• Conic Progress Ring — A token-driven conic progress ring whose angular fill and center count settle together from one registered percentage. · npx hyperframes add conic-progress-ring
• Count Up — A token-native stat counter that eases between values, counting up or down, and lands with a restrained scale pulse. · npx hyperframes add count-up

Winner (Stats & KPIs, Particles & physics)

• Apple Money Count — Apple-style finance counter that counts from $0 to $10,000, flashes green, and bursts money icons with sound. · npx hyperframes add apple-money-count
• Badge Pop — A transitions.dev-inspired notification badge pop with elastic scale and count reveal · npx hyperframes add badge-pop
• Bar Chart Race — Ranked bars grow and overtake each other as a time series advances, with the axis rescaling as values climb and the accent handing over to w · npx hyperframes add bar-chart-race
• Beat Accent — A single music-hit sting: impact flash, micro scale-pulse on the subject, immediate decay. · npx hyperframes add beat-accent
• Particle Burst — Keyword words trigger colored particle explosions · npx hyperframes add caption-particle-burst
