What kind of visual misleads can this skill detect?

It detects common distortions such as truncated axes that exaggerate differences, 3D effects that create volume illusions, and 'chartjunk' that obscures actual data.

Can I use this skill to generate new charts?

No, this skill is specifically optimized for auditing and verifying existing visualizations for honesty and accuracy rather than creating new ones from scratch.

What are the core integrity principles used by the guard?

The skill evaluates visualizations based on five principles: Honest Axes, Fair Comparisons, Complete Context, Accurate Encoding, and Transparency.

How does it handle cognitive biases?

The skill scans for design patterns that reinforce confirmation bias, anchoring effects, and manipulative framing that might influence a viewer's interpretation of the data.
