Tableau

tableau-about

Explain what the Tableau plugin is for and how it helps users work with existing or new Tableau content. Use when someone asks about the plugin, its purpose, suitable use cases, or why they should use it.

tableau-content-viewer

Show, open, or render an existing Tableau view, dashboard, or workbook live via open_in_codex, by name or keyword — for "show me/open/pull up this dashboard/view" requests. Do not use to query or analyze the data behind it or to create/edit/publish a workbook (tableau-workbook-authoring).

tableau-dashboard-advisor

Advise users on how to design and build effective Tableau dashboards from business questions, audience needs, and an available or described schema. Use for recommendations about chart selection, KPI hierarchy, layout, filters, interactions, responsive behavior, accessibility, implementation planning, or nonfunctional dashboard wireframes. This skill provides design advice and specifications only; it does not create, edit, or publish Tableau dashboards or workbooks. Do not use to critique an already-built dashboard or to claim facts the datasource metadata does not expose.

tableau-data-app-authoring

Build and publish a Tableau data app, a custom viz-extension web app that queries a published datasource live, or a data file embedded in the workbook. Scaffolds the app with the scaffold-data-app MCP tool, writes its query and visualization from the user's criteria or vibe, then packages it as a .twbx and publishes it. Requires scaffold-data-app, which may be unavailable depending on the user's site role, site settings, or Tableau Server version; don't invoke this skill unless it is available. Use to create, build, vibe-code, or publish a data app. Not for native workbooks or dashboards built from marks, Show Me, or the chart catalog (tableau-workbook-authoring), or for opening existing content, including published data apps (tableau-content-viewer).

tableau-data-quality-sentinel

Profile published Tableau datasource metadata for schema hygiene, field naming, likely type or role mismatches, calculation complexity, documentation gaps, and freshness signals. Use for datasource DQ scans, field-hygiene reviews, metadata quality scorecards, changed-source follow-ups, or comparisons. Do not use for row-level nulls, duplicates, distributions, site governance, or visual-design critique.

tableau-viz-critique

Review and score Tableau dashboards or views from a render plus available Tableau metadata, using an evidence-based seven-domain rubric and prioritized recommendations. Use for critique or scoring; do not use to edit workbooks, validate underlying data accuracy, or assess business performance.

tableau-workbook-authoring

Create, edit, copy, or republish a Tableau workbook by editing TWB XML and publishing it through Tableau MCP. Requires Tableau Creator or Explorer (can publish), plus permission to publish to the target project. Use for create, build, edit, modify, copy, republish, or add-chart requests. Do not use for read-only analysis or for just opening/showing an existing view (tableau-content-viewer).
