SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It prevents inconsistent or low-quality colors by giving a curated library of preferred colormap palettes and exact HEX values for every deliverable.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Curated palette selection (15+ sets): Covers both continuous (gradient) and discrete (category) needs with predefined priority favorites.
  • Style-aware matching: Chooses palettes based on data type (progressive vs categorical) and output context (papers, schematics, charts, PPT, diagrams).
  • Drop-in color outputs for common tooling: Provides HEX lists and includes Matplotlib guidance for setting cyclers and building linear segmented colormaps.
  • User preview support: Uses existing PNG previews (if available) to help users verify visual效果 before finalizing.

Quick Start

Use the colormap-palette skill to generate a full set of HEX colors and the recommended palette name for a requested chart style and data type.
