Is the Visual Flow Gif skill free?

Yes. The skill itself is free from AI-Builder-Club/skills. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.

What is the Visual Flow Gif SkillProof Score?

8.8/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 8/10, docs & honesty 4/5.

How do I install Visual Flow Gif?

Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.

Can I use Visual Flow Gif with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?

The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Test report

Verdict: Tested · Works
Score: 8.8/10
Tested: Jul 21, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · 8ea4575

Cloned the repo and ran scripts/render_animated_gif.py under Python 3.13 / Pillow 12. Rendering the bundled default-spec.json produced a 253KB PNG and 6.8MB GIF, 48 frames, with --check passing all validations (existence, dimensions, frame count, sampled motion). For the output test I authored a CI-pipeline spec (push->build->test->deploy with a test-fail loop): the skill emitted a 900x420 PNG plus a 1.5MB 48-frame animated GIF with a pulse on the Test node and color roles (blue/green/purple) per the style guide; I visually confirmed the PNG shows readable hand-drawn-style labels and the rounded routed fail loop. Baseline was a static 989-byte SVG with zero animation. My first spec used "arrows" and produced no edges until I corrected it to the documented "edges" field. SKILL.md paths use ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}, which is unset on a plain ~/.claude/skills install, so the run path must be substituted manually.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

Installs cleanly 5/5
Triggers reliably 5/5
Output vs. baseline 8/10
Docs & honesty 4/5

What Visual Flow Gif does

Converts source material like articles, workflow notes, or architecture sketches into a flow diagram by authoring a JSON spec and rendering it to a static PNG plus an animated GIF with a bundled Python/Pillow script. Triggers when the user wants to visualize a process, system, or pipeline as an animated diagram rather than a static image or data chart. Includes a color-role style guide, default light/dark specs, and --verify/--check validation of frame count and motion.

How to install Visual Flow Gif

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/AI-Builder-Club/skills.git /tmp/visual-flow-gif-src
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -R /tmp/visual-flow-gif-src/skills/visual-flow-gif ~/.claude/skills/visual-flow-gif
# Requires Python 3.10+ and Pillow 10+ (tested with 3.13 / Pillow 12).
#   python3 -m pip install -r ~/.claude/skills/visual-flow-gif/requirements.txt
# Run the renderer directly (SKILL.md references ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}; for a
# standalone skill install substitute ~/.claude/skills/visual-flow-gif):
#   python3 ~/.claude/skills/visual-flow-gif/scripts/render_animated_gif.py \
#     --spec /path/to/spec.json --outdir /path/to/out --basename diagram --verify --check
# Start from assets/default-spec.json (light) or assets/dark-spec.json; edges use
# the "edges" field, not "arrows". Excalifont is optional; renderer falls back.

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.
