What it does

Network Protocol Viz is an agent skill from mingchen666/Reviva. Generate single-file HTML animations that teach network protocols and packet flow. Use this skill when the user asks about TCP/IP, IPv4 datagrams, Ethernet frames, routing, switching, DHCP, HTTPS/TLS, packet capture, firewall filtering, or wants a visual protocol explanation for learning,复习, or teaching.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 12 other files, including reference files and assets (for example `config.json` and `references/prompts.md`).

It sits in Knowledge Management, covering HTML artifacts. The repository describes itself as: Local-first AI learning workspace — ask, note, review and create around your own materials. Wiki KB, Agents, Skills, creation tools.Private NotebookLM Alternative.AI….

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks about TCP/IP
  • Ethernet frames
  • Firewall filtering
  • Wants a visual protocol explanation for learning

Example prompts

  • “/network-protocol-viz”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): file_read, file_write

Workflow steps

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

  1. Identify the protocol or networking concept.
  2. Decide whether the explanation is about structure, interaction, topology, or filtering.
  3. Select the closest bundled reference asset if useful.
  4. Generate an HTML animation with clear controls and step text.
  5. Verify that packet direction, protocol fields, table highlights, and labels are accurate.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 24bde40. 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:

    • file_read
    • file_write

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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

Network Protocol Viz loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 486 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~82
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.6k

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 486 words (~1,103 tokens).

“Create browser-openable HTML animations for computer networking concepts. This skill focuses on helping users understand protocols through packet structures, sequence flows, topology animation, tables, and step-by-step explanations.”
