What it does
Extract Tikz is an agent skill from pedrohcgs/claude-code-my-workflow. Extract TikZ diagrams from Beamer .tex source, compile each to a standalone PDF, and convert to SVG with 0-based indexing. Use when user says "extract the tikz", "regenerate the diagrams", "rebuild the SVGs", "sync tikz to quarto", or after editing TikZ blocks in a Beamer deck that also has a Quarto mirror.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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 and Diagrams. The repository describes itself as: A ready-to-fork Claude Code template for academics using LaTeX/Beamer + R. Multi-agent review, quality gates, adversarial QA, and replication protocols. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- User says extract the tikz
- Regenerate the diagrams
- Rebuild the SVGs
- Sync tikz to quarto
Example prompts
- “extract the tikz”
- “regenerate the diagrams”
- “rebuild the SVGs”
- “/extract-tikz”
Requirements
- Python 3
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Bash, Glob, Agent, Task
Workflow steps
10 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Freshness Check (MANDATORY)
- Prevention pre-check (MANDATORY — halt on violation)
- Navigate to the lecture's Figures directory
- Compile the extract_tikz.tex file
- Count the number of pages
- Convert each page to SVG using 0-BASED INDEXING
- Sync to docs/ for deployment
- Verify SVG files
- Visual Quality Review (tikz-reviewer)
- Report results
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ae72617. 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:
ReadBashGlobAgentTask
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
Extract Tikz loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 81 tokens; SKILL.md has 494 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: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
allowed-tools: Read, Bash, Glob, Agent, Task
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.

Extract TikZ Diagrams to SVG
Extract TikZ diagrams from the Beamer source, compile to multi-page PDF, and convert each page to SVG for use in Quarto slides.
Creating a brand-new diagram instead of extracting? Use
/new-diagram— it scaffolds fromtemplates/tikz-snippets/with the prevention rules pre-applied.
Steps
Step 0: Freshness Check (MANDATORY)
Before compiling, verify that extract_tikz.tex matches the current Beamer source.
- Find the Beamer source:
ls Slides/$ARGUMENTS*.tex - Extract all
\begin{tikzpicture}blocks from Beamer - Compare with
Figures/$ARGUMENTS/extract_tikz.tex - If ANY difference exists: update extract_tikz.tex from the Beamer source
- If extract_tikz.tex doesn't exist: create it from scratch
Step 1: Prevention pre-check (MANDATORY — halt on violation)
Before compiling, verify every \begin{tikzpicture} block in Figures/$ARGUMENTS/extract_tikz.tex satisfies the prevention rules in .claude/rules/tikz-prevention.md. The pre-check is a small Python script shared with /new-diagram so both skills enforce identical behavior:
python3 scripts/check-tikz-prevention.py "Figures/$ARGUMENTS/extract_tikz.tex"What it checks:
- P3 —
scale=Xwithout node scaling. Barescale=shrinks coordinates but not text. Allowed forms:scale=X, every node/.style={scale=X}orscale=X, transform shape. The checker parses the full\begin{tikzpicture}[...]options block even when it spans multiple lines. - P4 — Directional keyword on edge labels. Every edge label (
nodeinside a\draw) must carryabove,below,left,right, or a compound (e.g.above left).midwayalone is a path position, not a direction. The checker scans the full\draw ...;statement so\drawon one line andnode[...]{...}on the next line are still linked.
Note what the pre-check does NOT enforce: P1 (boxed-node explicit dimensions) and P2 (coordinate-map comment) are structural and get flagged by tikz-reviewer in Step 8, not here.
Exit codes: 0 = all files pass, 1 = one or more P3/P4 violations (stderr lists file, line, snippet, rule), 2 = usage error.
If exit is non-zero: halt, report the offending lines, and ask the user to fix the Beamer source (single source of truth). Do NOT compile.

Step 2: Navigate to the lecture's Figures directory
cd Figures/$ARGUMENTSStep 3: Compile the extract_tikz.tex file
TEXINPUTS=../../Preambles:$TEXINPUTS xelatex -interaction=nonstopmode extract_tikz.texStep 4: Count the number of pages
pdfinfo extract_tikz.pdf | grep "Pages:"Step 5: Convert each page to SVG using 0-BASED INDEXING
CRITICAL: PDF pages are 1-indexed, but output SVG files are 0-indexed!
PAGES=$(pdfinfo extract_tikz.pdf | grep "Pages:" | awk '{print $2}')
for i in $(seq 1 $PAGES); do
idx=$(printf "%02d" $((i-1)))
pdf2svg extract_tikz.pdf tikz_exact_$idx.svg $i
doneStep 6: Sync to docs/ for deployment
cd ../..
./scripts/sync_to_docs.sh $ARGUMENTSStep 7: Verify SVG files
- Read 2-3 SVG files to confirm they contain valid SVG markup
- Confirm file sizes are reasonable (not 0 bytes)
Step 8: Visual Quality Review (tikz-reviewer)
Spawn the tikz-reviewer agent (via the Agent tool with subagent_type=tikz-reviewer) on the TikZ source blocks to catch label overlaps, geometric errors, and visual inconsistencies. The reviewer cites specific passes and formulas from .claude/rules/tikz-measurement.md. If it returns NEEDS REVISION or REJECTED, loop:
- Apply the recommended fixes to the Beamer
.texsource (single source of truth). - Re-copy the updated block to
extract_tikz.tex. - Re-run the prevention pre-check (Step 1) and compile.
- Regenerate SVGs, re-sync.
- Re-invoke tikz-reviewer.
Stop when tikz-reviewer returns APPROVED (max 5 rounds).
Step 9: Report results
Source of Truth Reminder
TikZ diagrams MUST be edited in the Beamer .tex file first, then copied verbatim to extract_tikz.tex. See .claude/rules/single-source-of-truth.md.

Can I use Extract Tikz in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add pedrohcgs/claude-code-my-workflow --skill extract-tikz -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/extract-tikz, .gemini/skills/extract-tikz, .github/skills/extract-tikz and .opencode/skills/extract-tikz in your project.
What does Extract Tikz need to run?
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Extract Tikz needs the command-line tools its instructions call (python3). Our summary lists: Python 3. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Read, Bash, Glob, Agent, Task.
Does Extract Tikz access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Extract Tikz safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (pre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: bash)), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
What licence does Extract Tikz use?
Extract Tikz is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
How many tokens does Extract Tikz use?
About 1.2k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 4.7k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
What are the alternatives to Extract Tikz?
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Extract Tikz: Thesis Figure Skill (0xE1337/thesis-figure-skill, 144 stars), Paper Interpreter (chujianyun/skills, 742 stars), CI Mockup Figure (yzhao062/anywhere-agents, 253 stars) and Figure Drawing (nanoAgentTeam/research-claw, 293 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
