What This Skill Does

Retrieves chart data and metadata from Our World in Data using the owid-catalog Python module. Searches run in English regardless of the user's language; the agent translates results as a post-processing step. Output includes chart title, description, source URL, and a summary of available entities.

owid-catalog gives direct programmatic access to OWID's structured chart catalog, avoiding manual scraping or parsing of HTML pages.

When to Use It
