HTML explainers, diagrams, architecture, timelines, source maps, slide decks, comparison tables, recaps, plan and diff reviews.
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
# Visual explainer Generate self-contained HTML files for technical diagrams, editorial visualizations, and data tables. Always open the result in the browser. Never fall back to ASCII art when this skill is loaded. **Requirements:** A browser is required to view generated HTML files. surf-cli is optional for AI image generation. **Proactive table rendering.** When you're about to present tabular data as an ASCII box-drawing table in the terminal (comparisons, audits, feature matrices, status reports, source verification grids, any structured rows/columns), generate an HTML page instead. The threshold: if the table has 4+ rows or 3+ columns, it belongs in the browser. Don't wait for the user to ask, render it as HTML automatically and tell them the file path. You can still include a brief text summary in the chat, but the table itself should be the HTML page. ## Available commands Detailed prompt templates in `./commands/`. In Claude Code, namespaced (`/visual-explainer:diff-review`). In Pi, these are slash commands (`/diff-review`). In Codex, use `/prompts:diff-review` (if installed to `~/.codex/prompts/`) or invoke `$visual-explainer` and describe the workflow. …

How to install
mdr add jamditis/claude-skills-journalism/visual-explainer@sha256:e0426aa56e21db43The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.7.5, 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.
