pfd-generator

pfd-generator is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ScottDuncanAI/claude-manufacturing-skills. It costs 106 tokens per session (2,735 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for drawing conceptual process flow diagrams (PFDs) as editable SVG files, plus the Python script that creates them. These diagrams show how equipment, materials, steam, instruments and control loops connect in an industrial process.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to draw or edit PFDs, P&ID-style diagrams, control-loop drawings and cascade-control diagrams.
Why use it?
It helps turn a written process description into a clear diagram without hidden text, crossed lines or incomplete control loops. The SVG keeps labels editable as 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

pfd-generator 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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/pid_lib.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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 164 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

PFD Generator

Produce a conceptual PFD as a hand-authored SVG that a process engineer would accept: correct process flow, correct ISA instrumentation, closed control loops, and a layout with zero collisions and zero crossed process lines.

The output is judged by an engineer who will spot a backwards arrowhead, a steam coil above the liquid level, or a label sitting under a balloon. Accuracy and legibility rank above speed.

Non-negotiable output rules

  1. No hidden text. Every label must be fully readable. Nothing may sit under a line, balloon, valve, vessel, or another label.
  2. No crossing process lines. Solve crossings by re-planning elevations, not by drawing over. If one is truly unavoidable, draw a proper line jump (semicircular hop).
  3. Control loops must be complete and directional. Every loop is measurement → controller → final element, with an arrowhead on each leg. A signal line without an arrowhead is a defect.
  4. Text is real <text>, never glyph paths or outlines. The user must be able to edit labels in a text editor. Never emit a matplotlib/Illustrator-style SVG where letters are <use> or <path> references.
  5. Minimum font size 8.5. Tag text 10–11.5, line labels 11–13, title 20–22. Nothing smaller than 8.5 survives a slide deck.
  6. Elevations must be physically true. See Rule of elevation below.

Workflow

1. Read the description and fill the gaps

A process description almost always underspecifies the drawing. Before drawing, resolve:

  • What is the controlled variable, and what is the final control element?
  • Are any loops cascaded? Which is master, which is slave?
  • Where does each stream enter and leave the vessel (top, bottom, side; above or below liquid level)?
  • What is the heating/cooling medium and its return path?
  • Any redundant or voting instruments?

Ask at most 2–3 questions, and only for things that change the drawing. For anything minor, make a defensible engineering assumption and state it in the response afterward. Do not stall the drawing over detail that can be noted as an assumption.

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.
