Terminal visualization for GateFlow codebase maps. An agent skill from codejunkie99/Gateflow-Plugin.

  • Tasks that involve Diagrams
  • SKILL.md covers Prerequisites, Entry Point, View 1: Overview Dashboard and View 2: Hierarchy Explorer, plus 12 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Gf Viz is an agent skill from codejunkie99/Gateflow-Plugin. Terminal visualization for GateFlow codebase maps. Renders module hierarchies, FSM state diagrams, and module detail cards as interactive ASCII/Unicode art. Example requests: "visualize the codebase", "show hierarchy", "show FSM", "show module detail"

Its SKILL.md is about 3.6k 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 Development, covering Diagrams. The repository describes itself as: AI-powered SystemVerilog development assistant — design, verify, debug, and deliver working RTL with natural language.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Diagrams

Example prompts

  • “visualize the codebase”
  • “show hierarchy”
  • “show FSM”
  • “/gf-viz”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Glob, Grep, Task, AskUserQuestion

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit bf7e94c. 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:

    • Read
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • Task
    • AskUserQuestion

    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

Gf Viz loads about 3.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,007 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~65
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.6k

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,007 words (~3,604 tokens).

“Renders .gateflow/map/ data as interactive ASCII/Unicode diagrams in the terminal.”
