node-graph-guide

node-graph-guide is a skill for Claude Code from xonovex/platform. It costs 135 tokens per session (1,526 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to visual graphs made from connected nodes, where each node has typed inputs and outputs. The graph is stored as data and can be checked, evaluated, or converted into executable work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design node editors, data-flow systems, visual scripting tools, function graphs, and content-authoring systems.
Why use it?
It helps keep connections valid and makes graphs easier to save, edit, reuse, and run. It also separates the graph people edit from the code that executes it.

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

node-graph-guide 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 1mo 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 — 61 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Node graph Guidelines (Visual Data-Flow Authoring)

Engine-agnostic architecture for a visual node-based graph that authors and non-programmers use to assemble behavior by wiring typed nodes together, then compile or evaluate into executable work. The graph itself is plain typed data (see data-model-guide); its node arrays are laid out for traversal (see data-oriented-design-guide); when it emits render/compute work, the scheduling of that work belongs to gpu-rendering-guide.

Requirements

  • A reflectable typed object/data store the graph serializes into (nodes, connections, per-node settings, interface), so the editor, evaluator, and tools all read the same definition, see data-model-guide.
  • A node-type registry that plugins can extend with new node kinds and new wire data types without modifying the core.

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.
