What it does

Auto Visio Helper is an agent skill from 0Antique/Auto-Visio-Helper. Help Codex plan, generate, reproduce, and refine editable Microsoft Visio scientific diagrams. Use when users ask Codex to operate local Visio, create VSDX research figures, redraw uploaded paper screenshots or sketches in Visio, convert natural-language method descriptions into scientific diagrams, export preview PNG/PDF/SVG, or build editable model architecture, workflow, system architecture, experiment, pseudo-code, sequence, or module interaction diagrams.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 40 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `README-EN.md`, `README.md` and `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering Diagrams. The repository describes itself as: 用于帮助Codex操作本地Visio生成可编辑科研绘图的skill,支持自然语言转图、图片复现、JVSDX 生成和预览导出。欢迎大家使用~~.

When your agent uses it

  • Users ask Codex to operate local Visio
  • Create VSDX research figures
  • Redraw uploaded paper screenshots
  • Sketches in Visio

Example prompts

  • “/auto-visio-helper”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Classify the task
  2. Gather only blocking requirements
  3. Produce a short design brief and a structured drawing spec first. Do not start Visio automation until the user has confirmed the spec or…
  4. Render the confirmed drawing spec with scripts/render_visio.py when Microsoft Visio is available on Windows. Keep all diagram elements…
  5. Export preview files, inspect them, compare against the request or source image, then iterate on the drawing spec if needed.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7af4122. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python, from the files we listed), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Auto Visio Helper loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~670k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 121 tokens; SKILL.md has 514 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~121
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~670k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 514 words (~1,236 tokens).

“Use this skill to turn vague research-figure requests into editable Visio diagrams. Always plan the diagram as a verifiable drawing spec before driving local Visio.”
