visual-source-artifact

visual-source-artifact is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from 45ck/skill-harness. It costs 31 tokens per session (853 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A source-first method for creating product, business, data, research, user-experience, and mockup artifacts. It keeps an editable structured source, such as Markdown or JSON, alongside a generated visual page that people can inspect.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create reviewable dashboards, prototypes, journey maps, schema diagrams, evidence boards, and comparison pages backed by durable source files.
Why use it?
It prevents a screenshot or visual mockup from becoming the only version of important work. Agents can update and compare the source while people review the result visually.

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

visual-source-artifact 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 1mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 71 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Visual Source Artifact

Use this skill when a human needs to inspect product, business, data, research, UX, or mockup work visually while agents need durable source they can diff, update, and verify.

Core Rule

Use a source-first pair:

  • Canonical source: Markdown, TOON, JSON, YAML, specgraph-compatible docs, model text, or structured data.
  • Generated review surface: static HTML, dashboard, state board, prototype, journey map, schema map, evidence board, or comparison page under generated/review/.
  • For human-facing discovery and planning, the generated review surface should be infographic-style HTML under generated/review/<family>/.

Generated visual files are never the only durable source. Edit source first, then regenerate or discard the review surface.

Default Fidelity

  • High-fidelity is the default for UI, product, customer-facing workflow, and mockup review.
  • Low-fidelity sketches are scratch artifacts only unless the project explicitly records them as research evidence.
  • Use realistic states, dense data, error paths, accessibility cues, assumptions, and evidence strength in the review surface.
  • Use scan-friendly metrics, charts, timelines, evidence/freshness panels, and source links for non-UI human review artifacts.
  • Use Mermaid for authored diagrams, Vega-Lite as the default chart grammar, Observable Plot for compact exploratory charts, D3 for bespoke static layouts, Graphviz for node-edge maps, ECharts only as generation-time/static output, RAWGraphs for exported design-led SVGs, and Chart.js only through server-rendered/static output or an equivalent static chart.
  • Put chart and graph intent in artifact-infographic JSON fences or manifest infographics arrays when the project has the generic renderer.

Artifact Families

  • Product: PRD, opportunity brief, feature map, roadmap, acceptance matrix.
  • Business: business model, pricing assumptions, stakeholder map, operating risk, go-to-market assumptions.
  • Data: schema, data dictionary, metric definition, lineage, quality rule, sample records.
  • Research: claim-evidence matrix, literature theme map, interview synthesis, assumption register.
  • UX: design brief, component state spec, interaction flow, high-fidelity prototype source, journey map.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
