+# Analytics Visualization Patterns Skill
+
+## When to Use
+- Planning a new dashboard or updating existing visualizations.
+- Coaching teams on self-serve analytics adoption.
+- Auditing visual design, accessibility, and narrative clarity.
+
+## Framework
+1. **Audience & Story** – clarify persona, decision cadence, and key questions.
+2. **Layout & Hierarchy** – organize tiles by funnel (overview → drill-down → diagnostic), highlight KPIs.
+3. **Chart Selection** – match metric type to chart (trend, composition, comparison, distribution).
+4. **Accessibility** – color contrast, labels, tooltips, mobile/responsive considerations.
+5. **Narrative & Actions** – annotate insights, embed CTA buttons or playbook links.
+
+## Templates
+- Dashboard wireframe grid with KPI slots.
+- Metric dictionary (definition, source, owner, refresh schedule).
+- Adoption checklist (stakeholder review, enablement session, feedback form).
+
+## Tips
+- Keep hero KPIs at top-left with trend vs target.
+- Use consistent color palettes for good/bad variance.
+- Embed documentation or Loom walkthroughs directly in BI tool when possible.
