Detailed Guide

Read the detailed guide before executing this skill. It retains the complete procedure and reference material. Treat its safety, prerequisites, and validation requirements as mandatory. For focused work, load the relevant sections; for end-to-end work, read the guide completely.

When to use d3.js

Use d3.js for:

• Custom visualisations requiring unique visual encodings or layouts
• Interactive explorations with complex pan, zoom, or brush behaviours
• Network/graph visualisations (force-directed layouts, tree diagrams, hierarchies, chord diagrams)
• Geographic visualisations with custom projections
• Visualisations requiring smooth, choreographed transitions
• Publication-quality graphics with fine-grained styling control
• Novel chart types not available in standard libraries

Consider alternatives for:

• 3D visualisations - use Three.js instead

Limitations

• Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
• Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
• Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
