What it does

Tikz Flowchart is an agent skill from yzlnew/infra-skills. Creates professional TikZ flowcharts with standardized themes, including Google Material-like and Anthropic-inspired options.

Its SKILL.md is about 960 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files (for example `themes/anthropic.md` and `themes/material-like.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Diagrams. The repository describes itself as: A collection of specialized agent skills for AI infrastructure development, enabling Claude Code to write, optimize, and debug high-performance systems.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Diagrams

Example prompts

  • “Use the tikz-flowchart skill to create professional TikZ flowcharts with standardized themes, including Google Material-like and Anthropic-inspired…”
  • “/tikz-flowchart”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Layout First: Determine the node layout before drawing edges. Decide the dominant reading direction, assign nodes to rows/columns or…
  2. Relative Positioning: Use right=of Node, below=of Node, or explicit coordinates to keep the layout stable. Adjust spacing via node…
  3. Perpendicular Edge Entry: Connect to explicit anchors such as .east, .west, .north, and .south. The segment that touches a node should be…
  4. Orthogonal Edges: Prefer straight -- lines for nodes that already share a row or column, and use -| / |- only when a bend is actually…
  5. Grouping: Use the fit library and a background-layer group style to draw lane or phase containers. For the Anthropic theme, keep…
  6. Conciseness: Keep node text short. Use \ for line breaks and \scriptsize or a dedicated label macro for secondary details.
  7. Anthropic Node Shapes: Prefer rounded rectangles as the default node shape in the Anthropic theme. Use diamonds only for true decisions…
  8. Anthropic Typography: Keep the full diagram sans-serif, with tinted primary and secondary lines inside each node instead of pure black text.
  9. Independent Review: When evaluating whether the generated flowchart meets the user's constraints, spawn a subagent to review the output…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f3a8d7d. 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:

    • node

    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

Tikz Flowchart loads about 960 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 35 tokens; SKILL.md has 518 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~35
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~960

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 518 words (~960 tokens).

“This skill provides standardized templates/styles for establishing professional technical diagrams using LaTeX TikZ. It is designed for creating flowcharts, architecture diagrams, and process flows.”
