diagram-animation

diagram-animation is a skill for Claude Code from 2233admin/design-pipeline. It costs 91 tokens per session (2,258 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of diagram-animation, MIT.

A workflow for animating diagrams and data so their parts appear over time. It can reveal nodes and connections, move data along lines, and animate charts by growing bars, drawing lines, or counting numbers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for architecture, flow, and sequence diagrams, process explainers, animated charts, and visualizations of data moving between components.
Why use it?
It prevents complex diagrams and charts from appearing all at once, making each step or relationship easier to follow.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

diagram-animation scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Diagram & Data Animation

Make structure and data legible by revealing it over time — one idea per beat. Build progressive node/edge reveals, flowing connectors, and animated charts (bars grow, lines draw, numbers count up) for web or video.

When to use

  • Architecture, flow, or sequence diagrams that build step by step.
  • Animated charts: bars grow, lines draw on, numbers count up.
  • "How it works" walkthroughs and process explainers.
  • Showing data or signal flowing along connectors.

Core principle: progressive disclosure

Never show everything at once. Reveal in this order: nodes → edges → labels. Highlight the active element and dim the rest (focus + context). Pace to comprehension, not flash — hold each step 0.5–1.5s so it lands. Keep a consistent visual grammar: color means meaning, and that mapping never changes mid-piece.

Quick reference
