visualize

A tool that turns an answer into one simple visual, such as a flowchart, timeline, comparison, or architecture sketch.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when someone explicitly asks to see an idea as a diagram or other lightweight visual, in any language.
Why use it?
It helps explain relationships, sequences, and structures that are harder to understand in plain 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

visualize 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 3d 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.

What it actually says

visualize: a shape, only when it says it better

Render ONE light visual with mcp__visualize__show_widget. If this is the first widget of the session, call mcp__visualize__read_me first (silently) with the closest module (diagram for flows and structures, chart for data).

Rules:

  • SVG first. HTML only for metric cards or side-by-side comparisons.
  • Light: a few dozen elements at most, one idea per visual. If it needs more, split it into two visuals or stay in text.
  • Colors: only the theme's CSS variables and ramp classes (c-gray, c-purple, c-teal, c-coral). Never raw hex that breaks dark mode. 2-3 colors, gray for structural nodes, color only where it encodes meaning.
  • Labels stay short (under 5 words). Explanations belong in the chat text, never inside the visual.
  • Persian/RTL labels: set direction="rtl" on RTL <text> elements and keep Latin tokens out of them. Latin-only labels stay LTR.
  • If the current reply is already a Persian <md> card (readable's RTL hook), embed the visual as a small inline <svg> inside that markdown instead of a second widget call.
  • Never force it: if no shape genuinely helps, say so and answer in text. This skill runs on explicit request only.

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.

visualize is a skill published in the GitHub repository smk-labs/claude-plugins (11 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 104 tokens to every session and 408 once invoked, about $0.0005 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 2026-08-30.
