Instructions for creating editable, source-controlled figures in Quarto documents using the quarto-livefigures extension. Quarto is a tool for building documents from text and code; the figures can come from sources such as Excalidraw, Vega-Lite, Graphviz, or PlantUML.

Use it to create or edit diagrams, charts, schemas, and timing figures in a Quarto project.

It keeps diagrams and charts editable and version-controlled instead of storing only finished images.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.00097	$0.01583
Opus 5	$0.00048	$0.00792
Sonnet 5	$0.00019	$0.00317
Haiku 4.5	$0.00010	$0.00158

Security

Grade A, and why

livefigures 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 6 executable files (cli.mjs, mcp.mjs, renderer-dbml.mjs, …), 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.

What ships with it

60 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.
