What is drawio-academic-skills?

A set of rules for creating and checking editable draw.io diagrams for academic publications such as papers, theses, and conference submissions. It adds publication-specific requirements to the general draw.io workflow.

Use it when making, editing, copying, validating, or exporting publication figures and diagrams in draw.io.

It helps diagrams meet requirements for readability, colors, captions, legends, formulas, and export quality. That reduces the chance that a figure looks acceptable on screen but fails in a manuscript.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00093	$0.02843
Opus 5	$0.00046	$0.01422
Sonnet 5	$0.00019	$0.00569
Haiku 4.5	$0.00009	$0.00284

Security

Grade A, and why

drawio-academic-skills 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.

Origin

This is a copy

89% identical to drawio-academic-skills — 29 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Draw.io Academic Overlay

Create, edit, replicate, validate, and export publication-ready draw.io figures by applying academic policy on top of the sibling Draw.io Base Skill. This overlay is intentionally thin: it owns academic policy/gates, academic docs, and paper examples; the sibling base at ../drawio owns all shared execution (CLI, schema, renderer, themes including academic/academic-color, references, examples, style presets, Desktop export).

Required Sibling Base

Resolve shared resources relative to this overlay directory:

CLI ../drawio/scripts/cli.js; URL fallback ../drawio/scripts/runtime/diagrams-net-url.js
Schema ../drawio/assets/schemas/spec.schema.json; themes ../drawio/assets/themes/; palettes ../drawio/assets/palettes/
References ../drawio/references/docs/, ../drawio/references/official/, ../drawio/references/workflows/, ../drawio/references/examples/; shared rework contract ../drawio/references/workflows/visual-review.md
Built-in style presets ../drawio/styles/built-in/

Overlay-local assets: references/docs/publication-overlay.md, academic-figure-playbook.md, academic-export-checklist.md, references/examples/, references/templates/.

If ../drawio/scripts/cli.js is missing, stop and report that the sibling base skill must be installed next to this overlay; never silently recreate or vendor-copy base resources into the overlay.

Non-Negotiable Contract

Keep academic authoring YAML-first and offline-first. Never create, require, or route through .mcp.json, MCP, or a live backend.
Treat .drawio and a 300dpi .png (via draw.io Desktop) as the default academic final deliverables; SVG is the offline fallback without Desktop — report the fallback and never claim files that were not produced.
Keep .spec.yaml, .arch.json, raw YAML, and diagnostics in a project-local work directory such as .drawio-tmp/<name>/, unless the user explicitly asks for a reproducible sidecar bundle beside the final output.
Perform paper-readability and visual self-checks on the exported PNG (or the fallback SVG) first. Do not substitute browser or Playwright screenshots when an exported artifact exists.
Use the sibling base ../drawio/references/workflows/visual-review.md for preview structure, issue records, YAML-first rework, and stopping rules; this overlay adds only publication checks.
Treat external image-generation previews as optional concept previews only. They never replace YAML, artifacts, sidecars, or exported-artifact verification.
Do not create or modify scratch JS scripts under a user's project-local .agents/skills/drawio; port durable fixes to the sibling base skill source instead.

What ships with it

24 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.

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.
