What it does

Figures Diagram is an agent skill from Norman-bury/research-writing-skill. Use when creating flowcharts, architecture diagrams, or conceptual diagrams - generates prompts for image AI

Its SKILL.md is about 550 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Diagrams. It works with Google Gemini. The repository describes itself as: 科研写作助手 (Research Writing Assistant). The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Creating flowcharts
  • Architecture diagrams
  • Conceptual diagrams - generates prompts for image AI

Example prompts

  • “/figures-diagram”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6f79595. 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.

    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

Figures Diagram loads about 548 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 31 tokens; SKILL.md has 95 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~31
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~548

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.

六、对话流程

用户请求流程图时

"我来帮你生成流程图的提示词。先确认几个信息:

  1. 图表目的:这个流程图要展示什么?
  2. 主要步骤:包含哪些关键步骤?
  3. 步骤关系:是线性流程还是有分支/循环?
  4. 语言要求:中文还是英文标注?
  5. 目标期刊:投稿到什么类型的期刊?"
生成提示词后

"已生成画图提示词,请复制到生图AI使用:


[提示词内容]

推荐使用:Nano Banana

生成后如果需要微调,可以告诉我具体修改需求。"
