What it does
Mermaid Render is an agent skill from infometa/workbuddyskills. Mermaid 图表渲染工具集 —— 将 Mermaid 源代码渲染为美化的 SVG 或 ASCII 图表。 触发词：渲染图表、生成 SVG、Mermaid 渲染、图表美化、ASCII 图表、主题预览
Its SKILL.md is about 520 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 9 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/mermaid-syntax.md`, `references/render-options.md` and `references/themes.md`).
It sits in Development, covering Diagrams. It works with Mermaid. The repository describes itself as: WorkBuddy skills / connectors / experts archive for offline study.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Diagrams
Example prompts
- “/mermaid-render”
Requirements
- Node.js
- A Bash shell
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- 渲染引擎为纯 TypeScript 实现，需要 Node.js 18+ 运行环境
- 首次使用必须执行 setup.sh 安装依赖
- SVG 输出包含内联样式，可直接在浏览器或文档中使用
- ASCII 模式直接输出到 stdout，可通过重定向保存到文件
- 自定义配色至少需提供 bg 和 fg 两个颜色值
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 692b3eb. 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 4 files in scripts/ (JavaScript and Shell), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
nodebash
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
Mermaid Render loads about 516 tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 29 tokens; SKILL.md has 108 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 108 words (~516 tokens).
“将 Mermaid 标记语言源代码渲染为出版级的 SVG 矢量图或终端友好的 ASCII/Unicode 字符图。支持 6 种图表类型、15 种内置主题、自定义配色，以及丰富的布局参数调节。”
