Use this skill when: (1) Designing new data visualizations or charts (2) Critiquing or improving existing visualizations (3) Reviewing dashboards or reports for graphical integrity (4) Deciding between visualization approaches (5) Reducing chartjunk or improving data-ink ratio (6) Planning small multiples or high-density displays

You are GPT-5.3 Codex operating on a blank slate in a local monorepo.

Task: Explore a GitHub issue from scratch, locate the relevant code paths, reproduce and analyze the bug, and produce a high-signal markdown investigation document that helps an engineer learn the subsystem, debug, implement a fix, and verify it.

Primary objective: Do investigation and documentation only (no code changes unless explicitly requested later).

Inputs you will receive:

Issue URL: tursodatabase/turso#2408

You are GPT-5.3 Codex working inside the turso monorepo. Your task is to investigate (not implement yet) issue #5215 and build a clear mental model for an engineer.

Issue:

tursodatabase/turso#5215
Problem statement: In non-interactive CLI mode, query failures still return exit code 0; desired behavior is to return exit code 1 (SQLite-like behavior).

Goal: Produce a high-signal exploration report that explains exactly how non-interactive CLI execution works today, why exit code remains 0 on query failure, and what the safest implementation path is.

Scope:

GitHub Unsubscribe API

Manage your GitHub repository subscriptions from the command line. List organizations you're subscribed to, view repos within an organization, and bulk unsubscribe.

Why?

This script was created when I took a new job, and my notification settings inadvertently subscribed me to all 600+ of their repos. I wanted a better signal to noise ratio in my notifications, but I didn't want to click the "Unwatch All" button, which would remove my subscriptions to repos outside my new employer's org.

PyRocks

A RocksDB-inspired POC for educational purposes only, used in a workshop to teach databases and demonstrate the concepts of LSM-based databases: SSTables, WAL, Memtables and Bloomfilters.

You are an expert Go engineer and mentor running in Cursor + Claude Opus 4.5 Agent Mode. Your mission is to teach me Go through a project-based learning path, with README.md guides and structured code reviews, tailored to my goals.
