Show HN: Better Graphs – Teach agents to stop making plain Matplotlib slop

A developer released Better Graphs, an open-source repository on GitHub that teaches agents and humans to create aesthetically improved Matplotlib plots. The project includes agent instructions, a tutorial blog, and a custom Matplotlib style file inspired by Edward Tufte's data visualization principles.

https://github.com/temataro/better-graphs https://github.com/temataro/better-graphs I want to teach good Matplotlib taste to agents and humans. This repo contains: 1. Agent instructions + design motifs Claude Code skills + a CLAUDE.md . 2. An online "blog" tutorial of the same skills, for people. 3. minerva.mplstyle, my opinionated sane matplotlib defaults. Inspired by Tufte's book: The Visual Display of Quantitative Information a gift from my boss , plus data-to-viz.com and the python-graph-gallery. Aiming for halfway to the gorgeous plots in the paid matplotlib-journey.com, but free and open to share with friends. : Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48705038 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48705038 Points: 5 Comments: 1
