acdemic-drawing

acdemic-drawing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from poco-ai/Agentero. It costs 30 tokens per session (2,245 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A diagram-making guide for creating Excalidraw files that show academic arguments, research methods, paper structures, and relationships between ideas. Excalidraw is a tool for editable hand-drawn-style diagrams.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to draw paper outlines, methodology flows, literature maps, and conceptual frameworks for academic work.
Why use it?
It helps turn a complex research explanation into a visual structure that shows flow, cause, or relationships rather than merely displaying formatted text.

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

acdemic-drawing 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 29d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (references/render_excalidraw.py), 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.

Academic Drawing Skill

Generate .excalidraw JSON files for academic visual arguments — diagrams that communicate research concepts, workflows, and relationships in scholarly contexts.

Setup: If the user asks you to set up this skill (renderer, dependencies, etc.), see README.md for instructions.


Customization

All colors and styles live in one file: references/color-palette.md. Read it before generating any diagram.

To customize for your own research style, edit color-palette.md.


Academic Core Philosophy

Diagrams should ARGUE visually, not just display.

A research diagram isn't formatted text — it's a visual argument showing relationships, causality, and flow that words alone can't express. The shape should BE the meaning.

Isomorphism Test: If you removed all text, would the structure alone communicate the research concept?

Education Test: Could someone learn something concrete from this diagram?


Academic Diagram Types

1. Paper Structure Diagram

Shows: Overall organization of a research paper

Visual patterns:

  • Top-down flow (IMRaD format: Introduction → Methods → Results → Discussion)
  • Section boxes with connecting arrows showing logical flow
  • Could use timeline or assembly line pattern

2. Research Methodology Flow

Shows: How research was conducted

Visual patterns:

  • Multi-stage process (Design → Data Collection → Analysis → Findings)
  • Use timeline or assembly line pattern
  • Include decision points (diamond shapes) for methodological choices

3. Literature Review Map

Shows: Relationships between existing works

Visual patterns:

  • Fan-out: central concept with related works radiating out
  • Convergence: multiple approaches merging into a synthesis
  • Network: interconnected nodes showing citation relationships
  • Use lines + free-floating text, not boxes

4. Conceptual Framework

Shows: Theoretical underpinning of research

Visual patterns:

  • Hierarchical tree showing constructs and relationships
  • Cloud shapes for abstract theoretical concepts
  • Arrows showing hypotheses or influences

What ships with it

5 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.

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.
