Getting it into your agent
This one installs as part of its plugin. Adding the marketplace and installing the plugin brings it with everything else the plugin ships.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00088 | $0.02098 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00035 | $0.00839 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00018 | $0.00420 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00210 |
Grade A, and why
visual-explainer 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 — 144 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Purpose
Turn a source (a markdown file, several files, or an explanation from the conversation) into one self-contained HTML page that a newcomer can read top to bottom and a specialist can drill into. Two layers, always: plain language and visuals on the page; protocols, file paths, numbers and caveats behind a click (side drawer) or a hover (glossary tooltip).
The page starts from the explainer shell, which already owns navigation, theming, the drawer,
tooltips, tabs, a step-through player, scenario switches and filters. You write content and
diagrams, not interaction code. scripts/check.mjs and scripts/probe.js then measure the result.
Procedure
- Read the whole source. Note the thesis, the mechanisms (what flows where), comparisons, numbers, sequences, decisions, risks and open questions. Every fact on the page must come from the source; keep its "unverified" markers.
- Map content to forms before writing markup — read
resources/content-mapping.md. Produce a short plan: one row per section with its plain-language claim, the visual that carries it, and what goes to the drawer. A section whose only visual is a table of prose is not done. - Load the companion skills you have (table below). They shape quality; the shell does not replace them.
- Start the page from the shell:
node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/visual-explainer/scripts/new-page.mjs" <out.html>. It copies the project's.claude/templates/explainer-shell.htmlwhen the project has one, else this skill'stemplates/explainer-shell.html, and prints which one it used. Rewrite the token block for this subject, then fill the marked regions: sections, the#glossaryisland, drawer<template id="d-…">blocks (markup) or#detailsentries (plain text). Markup for every component:resources/components.md. Insert content with several Edits of at most ~25 KB each — one huge Write stalls and loses everything when the stream breaks. - Verify — measured, bounded. Read
resources/verification.md. Runcheck.mjs; serve the page withscripts/serve.mjs(127.0.0.1 only, this one file only, stops itself); run the browser matrix (desktop and 400 px, light and dark) withprobe.js. Fix everything in one batch, re-run once, stop the server. Do not report success on a pass you did not run after the last edit. - Deliver. The local file is the deliverable. If the page is meant for other people and a
publishing tool is available, ask, then convert with
scripts/to-artifact.mjsand publish. Tell the user what you checked and what you could not.
What ships with it

What this file has done since we first saw it
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.

visual-explainer is a skill published in the GitHub repository atretyak1985/swarmery (7 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 88 tokens to every session and 2,098 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-10-03.
