DEDUPEDWho it is forDeveloper or technical writer preparing docs or a blog post on an abstract concept such as a token bucket
The problemAbstract ideas like caching or rate limiting are hard to show in a plain diagram.
The outcomeAn interactive figure where a physical mechanism (the README gives a pin-tumbler lock for a cache key) stands in for the concept, ready to embed.
What you need first
- An agent that supports Agent Skills: Claude Code, Antigravity, OpenCode, Codex or MiniMax Code
- Node.js 20.10 or later (the skills CLI itself may need a newer Node, 22.20 or later for version 1.7.1)
- Model usage costs from your agent account; the kit has no extra API keys or npm dependencies
- A browser to open the finished HTML pages (WebGL for the effects layer)
Steps
- Install the skill: npx skills add wheresryan22/anatomy -g
- In Claude Code run: /anatomy explain how a token bucket rate limiter works, interactive
- Interact with the result and check that the figure's numbers change as you play with it.
- Ask the agent to adjust the metaphor if it does not match your concept, then regenerate.
Prompt for your agent
Using wheresryan22/anatomy, build an interactive figure that explains <software concept> as a physical mechanism. Output a single HTML page and verify the live readout matches the concept's real behavior.
Caveat. The mechanism is an invented analogy, so review it for accuracy before publishing it as documentation.
About anatomy
An agent skill that builds interactive illustrations of machines and complex systems to explain an idea. Part of this week's top 10 repos: ranked #4 on Repo Radar. View wheresryan22/anatomy on GitHub.
More with anatomy
- Read and sandbox a brand new skill before you install it Follow the habit seen in the field of checking a fresh repo's scripts before running an unknown skill.
- Publish an interactive explainer of how a network works Turn a technical flow, like a message hopping across a radio mesh, into an animated page people can explore.
- Show a client how a process works with a 3D figure Replace a long written explanation with a rotatable, clickable figure of the process.
- Turn a one-line question into a clickable machine cutaway Ask your agent how an engine or lock works and get an interactive isometric figure you can hover, click and pull apart.
- Draw a teardown of a product from its public specs Describe a vehicle or device and its spec numbers, and get an exploded isometric figure with live values.
- Give a hobby app an isometric machine-style interface Use the skill's look to design the interface of a small control panel, like a web remote.
- Export an explainer figure as SVG or React components Generate a figure once and ship it as a lone SVG file or React and Next.js components.
- Build a figure with a dial or part that turns in 3D Try the beta 3D mode to get a dial or turntable you can drag and spin.
- Add live fire, water or light effects to a figure Ask for a figure that needs exhaust, ripples or glow and get WebGL effects inside the isometric drawing.
