What it does
Extract Tikz is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills. Extract TikZ diagrams from Beamer source, compile to PDF, convert to SVG with 0-based indexing. Use when updating TikZ diagrams for Quarto slides.
Its SKILL.md is about 500 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Documents & Office, covering LaTeX, Diagrams and Slides and decks. The repository describes itself as: 🔬 A curated collection of 23,000+ agent skills for empirical research across 8 social science disciplines. | 精选 23,000+ AI Agent 技能库，覆盖8大社会科学学科的实证研究。CoPaper.AI…
When your agent uses it
- Updating TikZ diagrams for Quarto slides
- Tasks that involve LaTeX
- Tasks that involve Diagrams
Example prompts
- “/extract-tikz”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Bash, Glob
Workflow steps
8 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Freshness Check (MANDATORY)
- Navigate to the lecture's Figures directory
- Compile the extract_tikz.tex file
- Count the number of pages
- Convert each page to SVG using 0-BASED INDEXING
- Sync to docs/ for deployment
- Verify SVG files
- Report results
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9fa87d8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
ReadBashGlob
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).
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
Extract Tikz loads about 498 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 180 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
allowed-tools: Read, Bash, Glob
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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 180 words (~498 tokens).
“Extract TikZ diagrams from the Beamer source, compile to multi-page PDF, and convert each page to SVG for use in Quarto slides.”
