visual-explainer skillA
visual-explainer is agent-read markdown (skill) from coco-research/coco: Generate self-contained HTML visual explanations for systems, code changes, plans, data, and technical concepts. Use for diagrams, architecture overviews, diff or plan reviews, project recaps, comparison tables, slide decks, and other visual explanations..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
# Visual Explainer Generate self-contained HTML pages that explain systems, code changes, plans, data, and technical concepts visually. Use this skill for diagram requests, architecture overviews, diff/plan reviews, project recaps, comparison tables, slide decks, and any visual explanation. ## Trigger and delivery rules - Prefer an HTML page over terminal ASCII when the output is inherently visual. - If a table would have 4+ rows or 3+ columns, render it as HTML and give only a short chat summary. - Write files to `~/.agent/diagrams/` or the explicit eval output path. Use descriptive filenames. - Open generated pages in the browser when running normally. In Pi package installs, use `visual_explainer` with `prepare` for planning/context and `render` only after the complete HTML document exists. - The final page must be a complete self-contained HTML document, including embedded CSS and any needed JS. ## Reference routing Read only the references needed for the current output: | Need | Read | |---|---| | Text-heavy architecture/cards | `./templates/architecture.html` | …
