What it does

Flowchart Creator is an agent skill from mhattingpete/claude-skills-marketplace. Create HTML flowcharts and process diagrams with decision trees, color-coded stages, arrows, and swimlanes. Use when users request flowcharts, process diagrams, workflow visualizations, or decision trees.

Its SKILL.md is about 520 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including reference files and assets (for example `references/design_patterns.md` and `references/svg_library.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Diagrams. The repository describes itself as: Claude Code Skills for software engineering workflows - Git automation, testing, and code review. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Users request flowcharts
  • Process diagrams
  • Workflow visualizations

Example prompts

  • “/flowchart-creator”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Start/End nodes: rounded rectangles (#48bb78 green, #e53e3e red)
  2. Process boxes: rectangles (#4299e1 blue)
  3. Decision diamonds: diamonds (#f59e0b orange)
  4. Arrows: connecting paths with labels
  5. Swimlanes: grouped sections (optional)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b5b34bc. 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 html).

    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

Flowchart Creator loads about 518 tokens when it runs, and up to ~7.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 56 tokens; SKILL.md has 105 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~56
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~518
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~7.7k

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.

<!-- Decision diamond -->

<!-- Arrow -->
<path d="M400,100 L400,150" stroke="#666" stroke-width="2" marker-end="url(#arrow)"/>

Workflow

  1. Break down process into steps
  2. Identify decision points
  3. Layout nodes vertically or horizontally
  4. Connect with arrows
  5. Add labels to decision branches
  6. Write to [process]-flowchart.html

Keep layout clean, use consistent spacing (100px between nodes).
