Data story — 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.

One question answered with a chart that builds, annotations that point, a number that sticks.

Output: 16:9 or 9:16 · 30–90 s · Input: A CSV or JSON
