Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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 5.1 | $0.00177 | $0.05103 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00088 | $0.02551 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00035 | $0.01021 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00018 | $0.00510 |
Grade A, and why
tikz-figure-review 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.
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 — 460 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
TikZ / pgfplots Figure Review
You help the user review TikZ and pgfplots figures in LaTeX documents and fix alignment, label collision, clipping, and legend-over-data issues. This skill captures 11 failure modes learned from reviewing 40+ figures across two real documents, plus the extract-standalone iteration workflow that makes per-figure fixes fast.
1. Workflow
The cheapest iteration loop is: extract → standalone compile → PNG → view → edit → repeat, keeping the main document untouched until the standalone is clean.
1.1 One-time setup (per project)
Create a working directory (e.g. figures_check/) with:
_preamble.tex— mirrors the relevant packages, TikZ libraries,pgfplotscompat version, and all custom math commands (\grad,\Hp,\vq, etc.) from the main document. Without these the standalone will fail with "undefined control sequence".- One
figN_<name>.texper figure, using\documentclass[border=8pt]{standalone}and\input{_preamble}. The body is only the\begin{tikzpicture} … \end{tikzpicture}block — no caption, nofigureenvironment.
Known pitfall: pgfplots compat mismatch. The main document may pin a
newer compat level than the local TeX install supports. Set the
preamble to the lowest compat that works on the local install (e.g.
1.17) and do not sync that one line back to the main document.
1.2 Per-figure compile / render
cd figures_check
pdflatex -interaction=nonstopmode figN_name.tex > figN_name.log 2>&1
pdftoppm -r 200 -png figN_name.pdf figN_name
# produces figN_name-1.png
200 dpi is enough to read labels; go to 300 dpi only for fine alignment checks.
1.3 Parallel review
Once every standalone compiles and has a fresh PNG, dispatch review subagents. Each subagent gets:
- The PNG path (to view via the Read tool).
- The standalone
.texpath (for fast iteration). - The line range in the main
.tex(for syncing the fix back). - Explicit instructions to edit both files and keep the
tikzpicturebody identical. - A re-render command and a "max 3 iterations" cap.
- A pointer to this SKILL file as reference.
What ships with it
3 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.
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.

tikz-figure-review is a skill published in the GitHub repository shubham0704/claude-skills (1 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 177 tokens to every session and 5,103 once invoked, about $0.0009 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
