Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Only contacts known or declared hosts: www.w3.org.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

    Hosts contacted

    www.w3.orgstandards

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned nicobailon/visual-explainer at 5846f5aef3.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

The visual-explainer skill generates visualizations to explain complex topics. It can create diagrams, charts, and other visual representations from textual descriptions or data. This helps users understand intricate concepts more easily by presenting information in a clear and accessible format.

When to use it

  • Explaining technical processes: Generate a flowchart illustrating the steps involved in a software deployment pipeline.
  • Summarizing research findings: Create a chart comparing different approaches to climate change mitigation based on provided data.
  • Illustrating abstract concepts: Produce a diagram explaining the principles of blockchain technology for a non-technical audience.
  • Creating educational materials: Develop visual aids to accompany lessons or presentations on various subjects.

Key capabilities

  • Diagram generation
  • Chart creation
  • Visual representation of data
  • Explanation of complex topics

Example prompts

  • "Create a flowchart explaining how photosynthesis works."
  • "Generate a chart comparing the market share of different smartphone operating systems."
  • “Can you visualize the steps in a typical machine learning workflow?”

Tips & gotchas

The quality of the visualization depends heavily on the clarity and detail provided in the prompt. Be specific about the type of visual representation desired (e.g., flowchart, bar chart, pie chart).
