What it does

SVG Creator is an agent skill from chingswy/Skill-Research-Figure. Create hand-drawn style SVG flowcharts and diagrams from user descriptions. Supports aspect ratio specification (16:9, 4:3, 1:1, A4, or custom W:H ratios). Use this skill whenever the user asks to create a flowchart, diagram, architecture diagram, process chart, mind map, or any visual representation of a workflow/system using SVG. Also trigger when the user says things like "画个图", "画个流程图", "帮我可视化一下", "draw a diagram", "visualize this process", "make a chart showing how X works", or describes a process/system and…

Its SKILL.md is about 4.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `evals/evals.json`).

It sits in Development, covering Diagrams. The repository describes itself as: 用来画专业学术论文tikz图和手绘风格SVG图的Claude Code Skills.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to create a flowchart
  • Architecture diagram
  • Any visual representation of a workflow/system using SVG
  • The user says things like 画个图

Example prompts

  • “帮我可视化一下”
  • “draw a diagram”
  • “visualize this process”
  • “/svg-creator”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Understand & Decompose
  2. Plan Layout
  3. Generate SVG — The Core Technique
  4. Verify Arrows (Self-Check)
  5. Output & Iterate

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit db2763b. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are xml and bash).

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • fonts.googleapis.com
    • w3.org

    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

SVG Creator loads about 4.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 184 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,668 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~184
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.2k

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,668 words (~4,159 tokens).

“You turn spoken/written descriptions of processes, systems, or workflows into beautiful hand-drawn style SVG flowcharts. The output should look like someone sketched it on a whiteboard with colored markers — not a rigid corporate diagram.”
