engraved-figures

engraved-figures is a skill for Codex from OutThisLife/brooklyn-skills. It costs 57 tokens per session (1,123 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Create scientific figures, technical plates, research posters and diagram collections in a monochrome engraved-paper style. Use for old-school wireframes, stippled plots, dense academic layouts, or understated redacted-document graphics. Supports precise SVG documentation and illustrative raster art.

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

engraved-figures 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 today.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 53 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Engraved figures

Scientific drawing carries the composition: fine wireframes, stippled points, clear axes, serif labels, and generous space inside a dense page. Inspect the approved poster before choosing the composition. It establishes the line character and visual density; its subject and redactions are examples, not defaults for every task.

Choose the right kind of figure

  • Technical documentation: derive the relationships from source material or implementation. Prefer editable SVG with real text and an accessible title/description. Describe exactly what the marks, lines, boundaries and axes mean. Keep the mechanism legible. Read technical figures.
  • Illustrative poster or standalone art: use the available image-generation workflow when a raster illustration is requested. Scientific geometry can serve as a metaphor, clearly labeled schematic. A torus does not establish a storage topology; a landscape is not measured performance. Read poster and redaction direction.
  • Interactive or animated composition: use actual geometry in the requested renderer. Preserve the approved page, typography and camera composition. Agree the meaningful behavior from the request: rotating a form, scrubbing a time slice, following a path, selecting a neighborhood. Keep text stationary and readable. Add motion controls and respect reduced motion. Animation and export workflows remain separate from this visual style.

Honor the user's requested medium. Do not turn a request for an image into a website, a paper into an animation, or a diagram into a new product interface.

Visual grammar

  • Black and neutral gray ink on clean white or gently warm paper. Monochrome is the default; color needs a reason or a user request.
  • Fine curved mesh lines and stippling form the drawings. Use heavier lines for selected paths or meaningful boundaries. Nodes remain small; avoid glossy spheres and dramatic shading.
  • Serif typography throughout the paper. STIX Two Text is appropriate for technical publishing; Times is a useful fallback. Use italic annotations and restrained small caps. Monospace belongs to actual identifiers, not all labels.
  • Hairline rules organize the page. Avoid rounded cards, icons, UI panels, badges, gradients, shadows and decorative controls.
  • Several substantial figures beat one central generic network surrounded by tiny icons. Match the reference's number, scale and distribution of figures when a reference is supplied. A full poster might use five main figures and several lower-column diagrams; a single figure should stay a single figure.
  • Keep labels outside dense geometry. Use short leaders when needed. At final display or print size, the labels must remain readable.
  • Preserve clean paper. Simulated aging, stains, copier dirt, stamps, invented document codes and agency seals require explicit requests. “Redacted files” usually means opaque rectangles on an ordinary document, not a spy-movie prop.

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.
