The prompt

Turn this data into one clear chart, as a standalone SVG.

What I want to show: [THE QUESTION OR THE POINT, e.g. "signups jumped after the launch"]
Where it will be used: [e.g. slide, blog post, report]

```csv
[PASTE YOUR CSV]
```

Requirements:
- Choose the chart type that fits the data and say why in one sentence.
- The title states the finding, not the topic. For example "Signups tripled after the March launch", not "Signups by month".
- Label values directly on the chart where possible instead of using a legend.
- Start bar charts at zero. Use at most two colours: one neutral, one to highlight what matters.
- Output a single `<svg>` with a viewBox, using only basic shapes and text, so that it scales and can be edited later.
- Below the chart, tell me one thing in the data that I should double check before publishing.

What it generates

2 examples
[01] Main example
A bar chart of monthly newsletter signups from January to December, with the launch month highlighted and labelled
[02] Text

A bar chart fits best, because these are twelve separate monthly totals. The launch month is highlighted and labelled directly, every other bar stays neutral, and the title states the finding.

Getting the most from this prompt

When to use it

When you have a small table and need one clear chart for a slide, a report or a blog post. It works well up to a few hundred rows. For larger files, summarise the data first or paste a sample and describe the rest.

Make it your own

  • Start with the point you want to make. "Signups jumped after the launch" produces a focused chart. Without it you get a generic one.
  • Say where the chart will be used. A slide needs bigger labels and fewer gridlines than a report.
  • Ask for a second version with a different chart type if you are not sure which reads better.

Watch out for

Check a few numbers on the chart against your CSV, especially totals and anything that was sorted. The title states a finding, so make sure the data supports it: "tripled" should mean three times. The "one thing to double check" line at the end is worth reading. It often catches a missing month or an outlier that would be embarrassing after publishing.
