What it does
Interactive Infographic Overlay is an agent skill from dmccreary/ibook-skills. Generates an interactive diagram MicroSim with numbered callout markers or rectangular zones over a scientific illustration, supporting explore, quiz, and edit modes. Use for anatomy diagrams, labeled components, or comparison posters needing interactive annotations.
Its SKILL.md is about 4.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 13 other files, including reference files and assets (for example `assets/shared-libs/diagram.js`, `assets/shared-libs/grid-diagram.js` and `references/data-json-schema.md`).
It sits in Media & Creative, covering Infographics and Diagrams.

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 98a9991. 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 script files (JavaScript), which the agent can run.
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
Interactive Infographic Overlay loads about 4.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~11k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 75 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,361 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 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 2,361 words (~4,932 tokens).
