AGENT SKILL
report-design: what it makes your agent do, and what it refuses.
report-design is what your agent brings to the first conversation so nobody starts from a blank page. It arrives with three or four archetypes, asks what decision the report supports, and then subtracts. Certification is a mandatory section of every archetype, not a feature of the expensive one.
The job report-design does
The blank page is the failure mode that kills conversational tools: a buyer who has never heard of weeks of supply will never ask for it, and ends up with a worse dashboard than one they were handed. This skill holds the archetypes worth proposing, what question each answers, the grain each needs, and the slots it fills. It opens with opinions and lets the user delete what they do not want, which is faster than an interview and leaves a record of what that tenant cares about. Four rules outrank every archetype, covering certification, masthead identity, what to do when the file spills past its claimed period, and the shape of a KPI tile.
What report-design refuses
A skill is worth what it stops as much as what it produces. These are the refusals written into report-design, taken from the rules and limits in its own file.
- ✓A styled report with its evidence amputated. Checks run, anchors tied, flags with stakes and open rulings are a required section of every archetype.
- ✓A company name the file never evidenced. A name derived from the filename renders as a source file line with an explicit note, never as a masthead title.
- ✓Blending a period. When the contents exceed the claimed period it bridges instead: claimed figure, out of period rows with count and value, whole file figure, and a ruling opened on the spillover.
- ✓An invented comparator. With no prior period in the source, the tile ships with a no prior period sub label rather than a delta.
9 lines from the report-design skill file, verbatim
From skills/report-design/SKILL.md, unedited. Kymira skills are plain text you can
read in full before you install them, which is the point of shipping a method rather than a binary.
**Certification is a mandatory section of every archetype.** Product detail, then validation and lineage — checks run, anchors tied, flags with stakes, open rulings — and finally data notes. It is not an archetype-2 feature; a certified report with its evidence amputated is a styled report. **Masthead identity follows doctrine 4 exactly as period does.** Only what the file internally evidences goes on the masthead. A filename-derived name renders as "source file: <name>" with an explicit "issuer not evidenced in data" note, never as a company title.
The failure modes report-design addresses
No entry in the catalogue of 51 observed failure modes names report-design as the thing that addresses it. The catalogue records failures we have watched happen, so a skill appears there once a failure it covers has actually been observed and written up. Read the catalogue.
The tier report-design ships in
| Tier | Price | What the tier holds | report-design |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | honest-dataviz and the eleven doctrine principles, published in full | Not in this tier |
| Core Pack | $199 | the thirteen craft skills, one-time purchase, lifetime updates | Included |
| Everything | $349 | all 22 skills, both libraries, the template bank, one-time purchase, lifetime updates | Included |
Both paid tiers are a one-time purchase with lifetime updates, and all sales are final: the files are plain text you keep the moment they arrive, so judge the quality on the free skill and the published doctrine first. The pricing section states exactly what each tier contains.
Installing report-design
A skill is a folder with a SKILL.md file in it. Installing one is copying that folder where
your agent looks for skills, with no build step and no dependencies.
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills cp -R Kymira/skills/report-design ~/.claude/skills/
Or open the unzipped pack in Claude Code and say install Kymira, which installs every skill in your tier, or double-click the installer for your system. Cursor reads the same skill as a rule file: copy report-design.mdc into .cursor/rules/. Skills are read at startup, so start a new session and ask your agent which skills it has available.
Not for
It does not choose your metrics or compute anything. It proposes shapes and grains, and it cannot tell you whether the definition behind a figure is the one your team argues about. That conversation belongs to contested-metrics and the metric store.
