What it does
Using Opentikz is an agent skill from opentikz/opentikz. Use when a user wants a TikZ figure for a paper — an icon, an editable architecture/pipeline/flow template, or an example — and wants you to find, edit, and verify it. The single repo-wide skill for working with the OpenTikZ library.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.4k 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 Documents & Office, covering LaTeX. It works with LaTeX. The repository describes itself as: TikZ for paper diagrams, without hand-writing TikZ — copyable icons, editable templates, and a Claude Code skill.
When your agent uses it
- A user wants a TikZ figure for a paper — an icon
- An editable architecture/pipeline/flow template
- An example — and wants you to find
Example prompts
- “/using-opentikz”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- First: which mode are you in, and where is the library?
- Communicate precisely (do this first, throughout)
- Workflow
- Hard rules (never violate)
- Common cross-template operations
- Reference material
- Mode B procedure — contributing back (editing the repo itself)
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 359befb. 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
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
Using Opentikz loads about 2.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,299 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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,299 words (~2,389 tokens).
“OpenTikZ is a library of copyable TikZ icons, editable templates (neural nets, encoder-decoder, training pipelines, system block diagrams, flowcharts), and full examples. This skill is how you go from a user's request to a finished, compiling .tex figure — reliably…”
