SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the creation and refinement of a single figure inside a marimo notebook, pairing author efforts with a second-pass reviewer to enforce visual clarity and adherence to Tufte principles.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • End-to-end figure workflow: create a figure in a marimo notebook, apply an author pass, then run a Tufte-focused reviewer to generate concrete revisions.
  • Publication-ready output: after review, generate a PNG figure that is accompanied by its notebook for reproducibility.
  • Use Case: a data scientist drafts a chart, iterates via the reviewer, and lands a clean, publication-ready figure in figures/

Quick Start

Open figures/marimo-figures.py in a marimo notebook, draft a figure and claim, then run the author pass followed by the tufte-reviewer to produce revisions.

FAQPage Schema
How do I refine a marimo notebook figure with a Tufte-style review?

To refine a marimo notebook figure with a Tufte-style review, draft your chart and claim, run an author pass, then execute a Tufte-focused reviewer pass to generate concrete revisions for a publishable PNG.

What is the best way to create publication-ready charts in marimo?

Creating publication-ready charts in marimo involves an end-to-end workflow: draft the figure, apply an author pass, run a Tufte-based reviewer for visual clarity, and export a reproducible PNG accompanied by its notebook.

Does this Tufte review workflow support iterative chart design?

Yes, the Tufte review workflow supports iterative chart design by applying an explicit author pass followed by a reviewer pass, allowing you to iterate a single figure until it meets publication standards.

How do I ensure my data visualization notebook output is reproducible?

To ensure your data visualization output is reproducible, this workflow enforces generating the final PNG figure alongside its marimo notebook, keeping the visual output paired with the code that produced it.

When do I need a Tufte-based reviewer pass for data visualization?

You need a Tufte-based reviewer pass for data visualization when a single figure requires rigorous refinement for visual clarity, ensuring the final chart adheres to strict Tufte principles before publication.

Can I generate a standalone PNG from a marimo notebook chart?

Yes, you can generate a standalone PNG from a marimo notebook chart; the workflow outputs the final PNG figure directly into the figures directory after the author and reviewer passes are complete.
