Codex Visio Paper Figure Skill

Skill by ara.so — Codex Skills collection.

Overview

The Codex Visio Paper Figure Skill transforms reference images (screenshots, AI-generated diagrams, paper figures) into editable Microsoft Visio .vsdx files composed of native shapes, text boxes, connectors, and groups. It's designed for academic paper workflows where you need to:

• Rebuild model architecture diagrams, flowcharts, and multi-panel scientific figures
• Replace embedded images with true vector graphics
• Maintain consistent styling across paper figures
• Export the same source .vsdx to PNG, SVG, PDF, and PPTX

Core principle: The final .vsdx must use Visio native primitives (rectangles, circles, lines, text), NOT just embed the original reference image as a background.
