marimo pair is an open-source agent skill that lets AI agents operate directly inside a live marimo notebook session. Rather than editing files from the outside, agents can execute code incrementally, inspect live variables, and manipulate visualizations — the same interactive environment that data scientists already prefer. The system works through a reactive REPL architecture that eliminates hidden state. Because marimo's reactive design enforces deterministic execution order, agents stay on track and produce replayable Python programs instead of the chaotic half-executed notebooks that plague traditional LLM-notebook integrations. It's installed via a single npx command and activated with a one-liner slash command. The core insight is that research is exploratory, not deterministic — and most agent frameworks optimize for software engineering patterns that don't fit data work. marimo pair bridges this gap, enabling things like multi-agent experiment sweeps, paper-to-notebook generation, and collaborative EDA sessions where a human and an agent share the same canvas.

Recharts is a composable charting library built on React and D3. Line, bar, area, pie, radar, and more with responsive design and animation.
Reviewer scorecard
“This is the missing piece for data work with agents. Every time I've tried to use an LLM on a notebook it thrashes the kernel with hidden state — marimo's reactive model actually fixes that at the architecture level. Install it and immediately start running collaborative EDA sessions.”
“Declarative React components for charts. The API is intuitive and customization through composition is elegant.”
“marimo itself has a small fraction of Jupyter's ecosystem and user base, so this is a niche-within-a-niche play. The 'Code mode' API is explicitly marked as non-versioned and unstable, which makes building anything serious on top of it a gamble. Impressive research prototype, not a production workflow yet.”
“The most popular React charting library for good reason. It just works for standard chart types.”
“This is what agentic research infrastructure looks like. When dozens of agents can simultaneously run experiment variations in reactive notebooks, the iteration speed on empirical ML research changes fundamentally. marimo pair points toward a future where the notebook is the agent's native environment, not a file it edits from outside.”
“For anyone doing data storytelling or visual analytics, having an agent that can actually manipulate live visualizations rather than just write code is a qualitative shift. The paper-to-notebook feature alone is worth exploring — generate an interactive explainer from a research paper in minutes.”
“Clean chart design out of the box. The responsive containers and tooltip customization are well-designed.”
