HoloViz Skills¶

A curated collection of Agent Skills for the HoloViz ecosystem — Panel, hvPlot, HoloViews, Param, and more.

What are Agent Skills?¶

Agent Skills are folders of instructions, scripts, and references that teach AI agents how to work effectively with a specific library or workflow. These skills help agents produce correct, idiomatic HoloViz code instead of guessing from stale training data.

Available Skills¶

Or target a specific tool:

holoviz-skills install --claude-code   # .claude/skills/
