tikzjax-diagramming

tikzjax-diagramming is a skill for Claude Code from BitYoungjae/marketplace. It costs 50 tokens per session (1,557 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for creating precise technical diagrams in Obsidian using TikZJax, which renders LaTeX drawing code inside notes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for geometry, coordinate systems, game scenes, electronic circuits, chemical structures, 3D plots, data visualizations, and mathematical diagrams.
Why use it?
It handles drawings that need exact positions and shapes, where simpler diagram tools may not provide enough control.

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

tikzjax-diagramming 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 12d 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.

TikZJax Diagramming for Obsidian

TikZJax enables LaTeX/TikZ diagrams in Obsidian. Use for complex technical drawings where Mermaid lacks precision:

  • Geometric shapes and coordinate systems
  • Game scenes with precise positioning
  • Circuit diagrams (circuitikz)
  • Chemical structures (chemfig)
  • 3D plots (tikz-3dplot, pgfplots)
  • Commutative diagrams (tikz-cd)

Basic Syntax

\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}[scale=1]
  \draw[thick] (0,0) rectangle (4,2);
  \fill[cyan] (1,0.5) rectangle (3,1.5);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

Required Structure:

  • Code block language: tikz
  • Must include \begin{document} and \end{document}
  • Drawing code inside \begin{tikzpicture}...\end{tikzpicture}
  • Recommended: scale=1 (smaller values reduce text readability)

Supported Packages

Load with \usepackage{}:

Package Purpose
tikz Core drawing (implicit)
tikz-cd Commutative diagrams
circuitikz Electronic circuits
pgfplots Data visualization, plots
chemfig Chemical structures
tikz-3dplot 3D coordinate systems
array Table environments
amsmath Math typesetting
amsfonts Mathematical fonts
amssymb Mathematical symbols

TikZ Libraries

Load with \usetikzlibrary{}:

\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{decorations.pathreplacing}
\usetikzlibrary{arrows.meta}
\usetikzlibrary{calc}
\begin{document}
  % Drawing commands here
\end{document}

Dark Mode Behavior

TikZJax plugin can automatically invert blackwhite in dark mode (configurable in plugin settings).

Text Color

Omit color specification in \node for automatic theme adaptation:

% Explicit color - fixed, won't adapt
\node[black] at (2,0) {Label};

% No color - adapts automatically (recommended)
\node at (2,0) {Label};

Black/White Inversion

When dark mode inversion is enabled:

  • black becomes white (and vice versa)
  • Other named colors remain unchanged
  • \definecolor{} custom colors are NOT inverted

Changes

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.

tikzjax-diagramming is a skill published in the GitHub repository BitYoungjae/marketplace (6 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 50 tokens to every session and 1,557 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-31.
