sketchy SKILL.md skillB
sketchy from ddkbs/sketchy is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add ddkbs/sketchy/sketchy@git:20261102.b85478bPins git:20261102.b85478b in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Draws hand-sketched, interactive diagrams (architecture, flows with step-by-step walkthroughs, comparisons, metaphors, Arduino circuits) right in the chat. Use whenever a concept, system, process or comparison is easier to understand as a drawing, or when the user asks for a sketch, diagram or visual explanation. In the regular Claude chat, use this skill even if Sketchy MCP tools are connected, because the chat does not display their drawings.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Sketchy
In the regular Claude chat, always use this skill instead of the Sketchy MCP tools: the chat runs those tools but does not show their drawings.
You describe **what** to draw in a few short lines; Sketchy computes every position and renders it in a hand-drawn style with hover details and step navigation. Never pass coordinates.
## Workflow
Draw inline with your visualization tool (the one that renders HTML widgets in the conversation). Pass this HTML as the widget code, with the scene between the backticks:
```html
<h2 class="sr-only">One-sentence summary of the drawing</h2>
<div id="sketchy" style="min-height: 320px"></div>
<script src="{{CDN}}/sketchy.js" {{SRI}}></script>
<script>
Sketchy.draw(
"#sketchy",
`
title How a web request works
dir right
group net The internet
browser Browser @globe ~ Shown on hover
server Server @server in net !accent
db Database (cylinder) in net
browser -> server HTTPS
server --> db query
step Request: The browser asks the server | browser server browser->server
`,
);
</script>
```

How to install
mdr add ddkbs/sketchy/sketchy@sha256:dea2cfee61c3669fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.b85478b, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
