Two prompts per question, in the order of the chooser: change over time, compare, part of a whole, distribution, flow, relationship, schedule and space.

Tips

  • Name the question: change over time, compare, part of a whole.
  • Say what the data is and which card it goes in.
  • Ask for a size; the agent passes it as the size prop.
  • When you know the type, name it: the slug is the same in every tool.
Connect your agentConnect the Chartory MCP server, so your agent looks up charts, specs and tokens on its own.Start with MCP
