concept-diagrams

concept-diagrams is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from NousResearch/hermes-agent. It costs 14 tokens per session (4,506 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for creating simple educational diagrams as SVG graphics inside a self-contained HTML file. It covers subjects such as science, maths, anatomy, processes, systems and charts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to make textbook-style diagrams, labelled physical objects, cross-sections, floor plans, process maps, system maps and quantitative charts.
Why use it?
It helps turn an explanation into a consistent visual that works in a modern web browser, without needing separate image files.

SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to high

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • high Prompt Injection · line 42
    Hidden instructions were detected in comments or invisible text. These could contain malicious directives. Manual review is recommended.
    Fix: Audit all comments and invisible characters. Remove any instructions that direct the agent to perform unauthorized actions. Use plain, reviewable content.
  • low Excessive Agency · line 36
    Skill's behavior or capabilities extend beyond its stated purpose. Scope creep allows an agent to perform actions unrelated to its documented functionality, increasing the attack surface.
    Fix: Limit the skill's scope to its documented purpose. Remove instructions that enable the agent to perform actions outside its stated functionality.

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

concept-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 11d 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.

Concept Diagrams

Generate production-quality SVG diagrams with a unified flat, minimal design system. Output is a single self-contained HTML file that renders identically in any modern browser, with automatic light/dark mode.

Scope

Best suited for:

  • Physics setups, chemistry mechanisms, math curves, biology
  • Physical objects (aircraft, turbines, smartphones, mechanical watches, cells)
  • Anatomy, cross-sections, exploded layer views
  • Floor plans, architectural conversions
  • Narrative journeys (lifecycle of X, process of Y)
  • Hub-spoke system integrations (smart city, IoT networks, electricity grids)
  • Educational / textbook-style visuals in any domain
  • Quantitative charts (grouped bars, energy profiles)

Look elsewhere first for:

  • Dedicated software / cloud infrastructure architecture with a dark tech aesthetic (consider architecture-diagram if available)
  • Hand-drawn whiteboard sketches (consider excalidraw if available)
  • Animated explainers or video output (consider an animation skill)

If a more specialized skill is available for the subject, prefer that. If none fits, this skill can serve as a general-purpose SVG diagram fallback — the output will carry the clean educational aesthetic described below, which is a reasonable default for almost any subject.

Workflow

  1. Decide on the diagram type (see Diagram Types below).
  2. Lay out components using the Design System rules.
  3. Write the full HTML page using templates/template.html as the wrapper — paste your SVG where the template says <!-- PASTE SVG HERE -->.
  4. Save as a standalone .html file (for example ~/my-diagram.html or ./my-diagram.html).
  5. User opens it directly in a browser — no server, no dependencies.

Optional: if the user wants a browsable gallery of multiple diagrams, see "Local Preview Server" at the bottom.

Load the HTML template:

skill_view(name="concept-diagrams", file_path="templates/template.html")

The template embeds the full CSS design system (c-* color classes, text classes, light/dark variables, arrow marker styles). The SVG you generate relies on these classes being present on the hosting page.

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.
