data-story

Turn a dataset into an IBCS data story told in the conversation: one key message, supporting messages, and a Zebra BI chart (render_visual) for each one. Takes a CSV or Excel file, Excel in SharePoint/OneDrive, a Power BI semantic model, or a source saved earlier. Use whenever the user asks how the business did from data they point to or keep: a month-end or quarter close ('how did we close September against plan and last year'), actuals against plan, budget, forecast or last year across several views, a performance review, revenue, cost or P&L questions. Also for 'data story', 'tell me what this data says', 'run the same story on the October file', '/zebra-bi:data-story', or a data file with a question about it. Prefer it over chart-from-data and variance-analysis when the answer needs several charts from a dataset; those handle one chart or one gap from figures already in the conversation. To share the story: story-pdf for a PDF, story-artifact for an artifact page, story-office for PowerPoint or Excel.

Needs the Zebra BI MCP (render_visual). Charts render inline in Claude Desktop chat, claude.ai and the desktop Code tab; the Claude Code terminal shows the chart data instead.
