What it does
Astra Figure Workflow is an agent skill from IamJerryXu/AstraDraw. Design research method figures from an existing paper, retrieve visual priors from component or private PPTX libraries, produce editable diagrams, and revise selected objects while preserving approved regions. Use for paper architecture figures, ODE/SDE/Flow Matching schematics, reference-guided image exploration, and selected-region diagram edits. Not a general presentation-writing or experimental plotting skill.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 199 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `README.md`, `agents/openai.yaml` and `components/README.md`).
It sits in Documents & Office, covering PowerPoint presentations, Diagrams and Data visualization. It works with Microsoft PowerPoint. The repository describes itself as: Let Astra not only create editable PowerPoint presentations, but also create the style you desire.
When your agent uses it
- Paper architecture figures
- ODE/SDE/Flow Matching schematics
- Reference-guided image exploration
- Selected-region diagram edits
Example prompts
- “/astra-figure-workflow”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Agree on what the figure must explain before proposing decorative detail. Ask only
- Retrieve a small, relevant set of visual priors. Offer distinct layouts when useful,
- Use image generation for visual exploration when it adds value, not for every native
- Generated candidates are raster references, not verified science or editable PPTX.
- A reference library's unknown-license assets stay local and reference-only. User
- For an existing scene, change only the selected objects and any required attached
- Validate what was actually changed: inspect final SVG and rendered PPTX, try an object
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cc13467. 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/, 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
Astra Figure Workflow loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~14k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 110 tokens; SKILL.md has 876 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); 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 876 words (~1,928 tokens).
“Use the paper as scientific authority and the library as a visual prior. A reference may inform layout, typography, palette or an explicitly matched mechanism; it never silently contributes scientific claims. This workflow was developed around Astra in Codex. Detect…”
