# Seaborn Statistical Visualization

## Overview

Seaborn is a Python visualization library for creating publication-quality statistical graphics. Use this skill for dataset-oriented plotting, multivariate analysis, automatic statistical estimation, and complex multi-panel figures with minimal code.

## Environment and Installation

Current upstream documentation is for seaborn 0.13.2. Official docs support Python 3.8+ with mandatory NumPy, pandas, and matplotlib dependencies; scipy, statsmodels, and fastcluster are optional for some advanced statistics and clustering workflows.

```bash
# Reproducible install for examples in this skill
uv pip install "seaborn==0.13.2"

# Include optional statistical dependencies when needed
uv pip install "seaborn[stats]==0.13.2"… load the full skill through Skill Me
