human-draw

Solid

Renders information as a picture a person reads at a glance. Seven shapes — bar, spine, tree, lane, fork, matrix, small-multiple — drawn in printable ASCII on a monospace grid. Works on any subject: a budget, a harvest, a rota, a roof, a decision. Trigger phrases: "/human-draw", "draw this", "show me this visually", "make a diagram of this", "I can't hold all this in my head". Not /human-output (governs the prose around the figure, and runs alongside this skill rather than before it). Not /human-rewrite (repairs existing text, and hands material here when it turns out relational). This skill builds the text figure that survives copy-paste into any terminal.

# /human-draw A figure is a **material**. It is characters on a monospace grid, read by a person scanning rather than parsing. Everything here is about what that material can actually hold. Two facts set every rule below. 1. **The grid is about 80 columns wide and one character deep.** Cross it and the terminal wraps the line, shearing the figure into unreadable halves. 2. **The reader stops wherever they stop** — the family's stopping-point doctrine, `references/human-contract.md` §2. So a figure must be correct at a glance and still correct on a second look. ## Placement: the rule that matters most Three parts, always in this order. ``` verdict sentence -> figure -> caption stating the finding ``` **A reader who never looks at the picture must still be correct.** That is the whole test, and it is the stopping-point doctrine applied to a figure. A figure is evidence for a claim someone else already made in words; it is never the claim itself. The verdict above and the caption below are prose. Use `human-output` when it is installed; otherwise use the portable style floor in [`references/human-contract.md`](references/human-contract.md), including what a caption must name (the finding, not the subject). This file owns only what is inside the fence. ## The default is to draw Draw when the reader must hold **two or more things in mind and relate them**. One fact is a sentence. A causal argument is prose. Position, proportion, sequence, containment, and ...

drawing

Draw something yourself, mark by mark, on a real canvas — see the subject, block it in with straights, gate each stage on a check, and only then commit to curve, ink and black. Use when asked to draw, sketch, illustrate, redraw or restyle an image by hand rather than generate it with an image model.

human-output

The contract for writing anything a person will read and decide from — a report, a finding, an answer, a request for a decision. Works on any subject: research, legal, finance, operations, planning, code. Referenced by other skills and invocable directly before a long piece of work. Trigger phrases: "/human-output", "remember I am a person not a machine", "write this for a human", "keep the reader in mind". Not /human-rewrite (repairs text that already exists) or /human-draw (builds a picture) — human-output governs writing as it happens.

draft-figure

Drafts one hand-drawn figure for a document, deciding whether the subject is Mermaid-shaped or needs freehand SVG, then draws it. Renders the Mermaid path through Mermaid's own hand-drawn look, reads the render back, and fixes what it exposes. Wraps either path in the figure standard's caption, color, and accessibility rules. Use when asked to "draw a figure", "add a hand-drawn diagram", "draft a figure for this doc", or "draw this relationship as a figure". Do NOT use for the toolkit's own `.canon/diagrams/` architecture surface, which is `draft-diagram`, or for a UI wireframe, which is `draft-wireframes`.
