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

mermaid-tools 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/extract_diagrams.py, scripts/extract-and-generate.sh), 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.

Mermaid Tools

Overview

This skill enables extraction of Mermaid diagrams from markdown files and generation of high-quality PNG images. The skill bundles all necessary scripts (extract-and-generate.sh, extract_diagrams.py, and puppeteer-config.json) in the scripts/ directory for portability and reliability.

Core Workflow

Standard Diagram Extraction and Generation

Extract Mermaid diagrams from a markdown file and generate PNG images using the bundled extract-and-generate.sh script:

cd ~/.claude/skills/mermaid-tools/scripts
./extract-and-generate.sh "<markdown_file>" "<output_directory>"

Parameters:

  • <markdown_file>: Path to the markdown file containing Mermaid diagrams
  • <output_directory>: (Optional) Directory for output files. Defaults to <markdown_file_directory>/diagrams

Example:

cd ~/.claude/skills/mermaid-tools/scripts
./extract-and-generate.sh "/path/to/document.md" "/path/to/output"

What the Script Does

  1. Extracts all Mermaid code blocks from the markdown file
  2. Numbers them sequentially (01, 02, 03, etc.) in order of appearance
  3. Generates .mmd files for each diagram
  4. Creates high-resolution PNG images with smart sizing
  5. Validates all generated PNG files

Output Files

For each diagram, the script generates:

  • 01-diagram-name.mmd - Extracted Mermaid code
  • 01-diagram-name.png - High-resolution PNG image

The numbering ensures diagrams maintain their order from the source document.

Advanced Usage

Custom Dimensions and Scaling

Override default dimensions using environment variables:

cd ~/.claude/skills/mermaid-tools/scripts
MERMAID_WIDTH=1600 MERMAID_HEIGHT=1200 ./extract-and-generate.sh "<markdown_file>" "<output_directory>"

Available variables:

  • MERMAID_WIDTH (default: 1200) - Base width in pixels
  • MERMAID_HEIGHT (default: 800) - Base height in pixels
  • MERMAID_SCALE (default: 2) - Scale factor for high-resolution output

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.
