One-click AI generation
Install the skill into Claude Code and let the AI draw for you.
Skip the workbench — install the promptFigure skill pack into your AI (Claude Code / Claude Desktop / WorkBuddy / Codex all work) and the AI handles signup, key creation, API calls and saving the PNG locally. All you do is describe the figure in plain language.
Step 1: install the skill pack
The easiest way: send the text below to your AI as-is — it downloads the pack, puts it in the right directory and reports back.
Please install the promptFigure skill pack: download https://promptfigure.pages.dev/downloads/promptfigure-api.zip, extract it, and put the promptfigure-api folder into your skills directory (Claude Code: ~/.claude/skills/, WorkBuddy / OpenClaw: ~/.workbuddy/skills/; if you have no skills directory, append the content of SKILL.md to your AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md instead). After installing, read SKILL.md and tell me the result and how to use it.Prefer manual install? Download the zip, extract it, and drop the promptfigure-api/ folder into the skills directory:
| Tool | Skills directory (copy here) |
|---|---|
| Claude Code | ~/.claude/skills/promptfigure-api/ |
| Claude Desktop (Agent Skills) | Settings → Skills, import the zip — or ~/.claude/skills/ |
| WorkBuddy / OpenClaw | ~/.workbuddy/skills/promptfigure-api/ |
| Codex / Cursor / Cline and other agents | No skills directory: append SKILL.md to AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md |
Step 2: ask your AI to draw
Once installed, just state the request. The AI reads SKILL.md and runs the flow: sign up / log in → create an API key (starts with pf_) → call /api/v1/generate → save the PNG locally and show it to you.
Draw a mechanism diagram of the mitochondrial electron transport chain with complexes I–IV and ATP synthase using promptFigure, premium tier for the final versionName every entity in the prompt (groups, values, genes, conditions) for the best quality — the pipeline expands your intent into a publication-grade prompt.
Step 3: billing & keys
- The AI uses the pay-as-you-go API: standard $0.02/call (1K drafts), premium $0.15/call (1K/2K finals), deducted from balance in real time ($1 minimum, whole-dollar top-ups).
- The AI creates and stores the key itself (usually the PROMPTFIGURE_KEY environment variable); you can also create one in the console under "API keys" and hand it over.
- Failed generations are auto-refunded; 402 means insufficient balance — the AI will ask you to top up.
Version & updates
The skill pack keeps improving. Check the latest version without downloading the whole pack: if your installed SKILL.md version is lower than the online one, grab the latest pack from the download page.
