visualize

visualize is a skill for Claude Code from ondrej-svec/heart-of-gold-toolkit. It costs 75 tokens per session (4,133 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A tool for turning plans, architecture documents, brainstorms, and other structured text into shareable visual diagrams or HTML pages.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for mind maps, architecture overviews, project-plan diagrams, or browser-viewable summaries of structured documents.
Why use it?
It makes relationships and overall structure easier to understand than a long block of text. It first decides what the visual should communicate and then creates the artifact.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions Claude Code; mentions Codex.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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 B, and why

visualize scanned grade B with 1 finding 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 14 executable files (scripts/new-authored-artifact.js, scripts/new-authored-artifact.sh, scripts/publish-authored-html.js, …), 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.

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 532 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Visualize — Babel Fish

Translating structured text into spatial understanding. The job is not to "turn markdown into HTML." The job is to create a visual artifact that helps a human understand the material faster.

Mission

Create one clear, polished, shareable visual artifact that:

  • matches the user's actual need
  • feels intentionally designed, not markdown restyled in boxes
  • is authored deliberately by the coding agent whenever possible
  • summarizes before detailing
  • uses browser HTML as the primary medium for substantial artifacts
  • falls back to terminal rendering only when that is the better fit

Boundaries

  • MAY: read files, generate terminal mind maps, generate temporary HTML artifacts, run renderer/share scripts via bash
  • MAY NOT: modify project files, create persistent files outside temp/output artifacts, install unrelated packages

Core Principle

Do not mirror the source document structure one-to-one unless the user explicitly wants a document view.

The coding agent should be the author of the visual artifact. The renderer is a finisher/fallback, not the brain.

Instead:

  1. understand the source
  2. decide what the artifact is trying to communicate
  3. choose the visual form that best serves that goal
  4. author the HTML artifact directly when practical
  5. use toolkit renderers only as helpers or fallback paths
  6. keep raw/source detail secondary or collapsible when possible

HTML should feel like:

  • a dashboard
  • an explainer
  • a roadmap
  • an architecture brief
  • a deliberate mind map

Not like:

  • a markdown page with nicer CSS

Artifact Families

These are guidance categories for the coding agent. They are not rigid parser outputs.

outline

Use when the user wants:

  • document structure
  • a reading aid
  • a faithful but polished source-oriented view
  • a safe fallback when a richer artifact is not justified

roadmap

Use when the source is best understood as:

  • phases
  • priorities
  • sequencing
  • workstreams
  • execution flow

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.

visualize is a skill published in the GitHub repository ondrej-svec/heart-of-gold-toolkit (19 stars, last pushed 21d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 75 tokens to every session and 4,133 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
