Alterlab Seaborn

alterlab-ieu/alterlab-seaborn

Builds statistical plots with the seaborn Python library and pandas DataFrame integration, on attractive matplotlib-based defaults. Use for quick exploration of distributions, relationships, and categorical comparisons — box plots, violin plots, swarm/strip plots, KDE/histograms, pair plots, joint plots, regression plots, correlation heatmaps, and faceted small multiples (relplot/displot/catplot/lmplot). For interactive/hover/zoom charts defer to alterlab-plotly; for exact journal/manuscript styling (column widths, point fonts, CMYK, vector export) defer to alterlab-scientific-viz; for low-level custom matplotlib figures defer to alterlab-matplotlib (seaborn integrates with it for fine-tuning). Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take alterlab-ieu/alterlab-seaborn from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.

Install what it needs

The instructions reference pip. Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
