Explain the current topic with the cheapest in-chat visual. Skip the preamble and pick the smallest view that makes the point: pseudocode, call tree, component tree, shallow file tree, Mermaid, topic-shaped diffs, or one throwaway HTML file. Use when a visual would clarify the current question, decision, cook phase, or review comment, or when the user says 'show me', 'visualize this', 'draw that', or 'make this visual'. Keepable diagrams, whiteboards, and showcase pages belong to other skills.

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

# Show Me

Cheap in-chat visual for the **current** topic. Skip the preamble. Pick the smallest view that makes the key point clear.

This skill can fire anywhere on **interview → brainstorm → plan → cook → ship** when a picture would clarify the question on the table (a decision in brainstorm, a phase in cook, a review comment). It does not replace those skills.

## When not this skill

Hand off. Do not reimplement the heavier visual skills.

| Need | Use |
|---|---|
| Keepable ASCII / box diagram | `vd:text-diagram` |
| Versioned SVG / raster under Visuals or `docs/diagrams` | `vd:diagram` |
| Polished accessible HTML / SVG artifact | `vd:diagram-design` |
| Editable whiteboard | `vd:excalidraw` |
| Bilingual promo / showcase page | `vd:show-off` |
| Designed HTML page | `vd:opendesign` |

HTML from this skill is a throwaway focused view (diagram, infographic, or short slide) only when Mermaid or trees cannot carry the point. Never a showcase site.

## Recipe

1. Skip preamble. Keep prose brief.
2. Pick the smallest view from the patterns below.
3. Place each visual next to the short text it supports.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add vanducng/skills/show-me@sha256:786d98f761b966b1

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, 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.
