What it does

Visual Flow Gif is an agent skill from AI-Builder-Club/skills. Create animated flow diagrams from articles, workflow notes, architecture sketches, or process descriptions using a JSON specification and a local Python/Pillow renderer. Use when the user wants to turn source material into a static PNG + animated GIF diagram.

Its SKILL.md is about 850 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/dark-spec.json`, `assets/default-spec.json` and `references/spec-format.md`).

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Social media graphics and Diagrams. It works with Python. The repository describes itself as: Codebase harness + loop engineer.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants to turn source material into a static PNG + animated GIF diagram
  • Tasks that involve Social media graphics
  • Tasks that involve Diagrams

Example prompts

  • “/visual-flow-gif”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read the source material and identify the system.
  2. Create a JSON spec.
  3. Render the diagram.
  4. Inspect the PNG and GIF before delivery.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 917780c. 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), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    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

Visual Flow Gif loads about 845 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 69 tokens; SKILL.md has 389 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~69
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~845
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.8k

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 389 words (~845 tokens).

“Use this skill when a user wants to turn source material into a clear animated flow diagram.”
