figure-spec

figure-spec is a skill for Claude Code from AutoConference/AutoConference-skill. It costs 80 tokens per session (3,000 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of figure-spec, Apache-2.0.

A tool for generating structured diagrams as editable SVG vector files from JSON specifications. SVG is a text-based image format that can be edited later, and the same specification produces the same diagram.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for publication diagrams with fixed node positions, groups, and connections, especially when the result must remain editable.
Why use it?
It makes the layout and connections of architecture, workflow, pipeline, and system-topology diagrams explicit and reproducible.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: positional $N argument; mentions Codex.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is echo " /figure-spec cannot produce SVG output. Fix: rerun bash tools/install_aris.sh or smart_update.sh (refreshes ~/.aris/repo), or copy the helper from .

Good fit Use it for publication diagrams with fixed node positions, groups, and connections, especially when the result must remain editable.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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

figure-spec 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 3d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/figure_renderer.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

FigureSpec: Deterministic JSON → SVG Figure Generation

Generate publication-quality architecture diagrams, workflow pipelines, audit cascades, and system topology figures as editable SVG vector graphics using a deterministic JSON → SVG renderer.

When to Use This Skill

Use figure-spec for:

  • System architecture diagrams (layered, hub-and-spoke, multi-plane)
  • Workflow / pipeline figures
  • Audit cascade / flow-control diagrams
  • Any structured diagram where node positions, connections, and groupings are semantically important
  • Figures that need to be edited/tweaked later (SVG is plain text)
  • Figures where determinism matters (same spec → same SVG)

Do NOT use for:

  • Data plots (bar/line/scatter) — use /paper-figure
  • Natural/qualitative illustrations — use /paper-illustration
  • Quick state-machine / flowchart — use /mermaid-diagram (lighter syntax)

Core Properties

  • Deterministic: identical FigureSpec JSON always produces identical SVG output (for a fixed renderer version + fonts)
  • Editable: SVG output is plain-text, can be post-edited by hand or programmatically
  • Validated: renderer enforces schema, rejects malformed specs with clear error messages
  • Shape-aware: edge clipping works correctly for rect/rounded/circle/ellipse/diamond
  • CJK support: multi-line labels with proper Chinese character width estimation
  • No external API: runs fully local, no network, no API keys

Tool Location

Phase 3.1 (Arch C) move: the canonical implementation now lives at skills/figure-spec/scripts/figure_renderer.py (this SKILL's own scripts/ subdirectory). A backwards-compatible shim at tools/figure_renderer.py forwards to the canonical file via os.execv, so existing users with .aris/tools/figure_renderer.py or a manually copied tools/figure_renderer.py keep working unchanged.

Resolve $FIGURE_RENDERER with the hybrid chain (layer 0 prefers the self-contained location for the owning SKILL; layers 1-4 are the shared-runtime chain documented in shared-references/integration-contract.md §2, Policy A — skill-local gate):

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

figure-spec is a skill published in the GitHub repository AutoConference/AutoConference-skill (6 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 80 tokens to every session and 3,000 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to figure-spec, differing in 2 lines, and is treated as a copy.
