What

When the destination is a first-party document connector that renders live charts, the data-visualization skill now tells Claude to hand over the underlying data rows, inline or as an uploaded data file the chart cites, instead of a rendered PNG or SVG.

Details
  • The stated reason is that an image loses hover, data inspection and per-value comments.
  • Skill text, always in effect when the skill runs.
Evidence

hand it the rows (inline, or as an uploaded data file the chart cites) rather than a rendered PNG/SVG — a picture of a chart loses hover, data inspection and per-value comments

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
