with-diagrams

with-diagrams is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from control-decks/think-it-through. It costs 49 tokens per session (359 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that adds the smallest useful diagram to an existing result without changing its meaning. It chooses a diagram only when one makes an existing relationship easier to understand.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to represent a useful relationship in a result as a compact flowchart, timeline, table, or other appropriate diagram.
Why use it?
It can make dependencies, sequences, or other relationships clearer than prose alone while preserving the original qualifications and conclusions.

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

with-diagrams 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 10d 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.

What it actually says

📊 Think With Diagrams

ID: think-it-through/with-diagrams
HACP: 0.4
Kind: presentation
Mode: render
Traits: read-only, semantic
Default Binding: Current Working Object, then latest substantive result or Binding
Accepts: hacp/result
Produces: hacp/presentation
Duration: once

Effect: Identify the relationship worth compressing, choose the smallest useful form, and render it without advancing or changing the semantic object.

Limits: Do not decorate, duplicate prose, remove qualifications, or add conclusions, decisions, or certainty. Say briefly when a diagram would not help.

Flow

    A["Final or latest useful result"] --> B["Find existing relationship"]
    B --> C{"Diagram compresses it?"}
    C -->|No| D["Keep representation minimal"]
    C -->|Yes| E["Choose smallest useful form"]
    E --> F["Render diagram"]

Format

Place each diagram beside the content it clarifies.

Files

What ships with it

2 files 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.

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.
