Install the Privacy Sketch skill

Download the zip, unzip into your Claude Code skills directory, restart Claude.

Download and unzip

Download privacy-sketch-skill.zip, then unzip into your Claude Code skills directory.

In PowerShell:

# Make sure the skills directory exists New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path "$env:USERPROFILE\.claude\skills" | Out-Null # Unzip the bundle (downloads land in your Downloads folder by default) Expand-Archive -Force "$env:USERPROFILE\Downloads\privacy-sketch-skill.zip" "$env:USERPROFILE\.claude\skills\"

That creates %USERPROFILE%\.claude\skills\privacy-sketch\ with SKILL.md and supporting files.

# Make sure the skills directory exists mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills # Unzip into it unzip ~/Downloads/privacy-sketch-skill.zip -d ~/.claude/skills/

That creates ~/.claude/skills/privacy-sketch/.

# Make sure the skills directory exists mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills # Unzip into it unzip ~/Downloads/privacy-sketch-skill.zip -d ~/.claude/skills/

That creates ~/.claude/skills/privacy-sketch/.

Verify

  1. Restart Claude Code, or run /skills to refresh the list.
  2. Confirm privacy-sketch appears among the available skills.
  3. Prompt: "Make a privacy-sketch diagram of a CI/CD pipeline with three stages."
  4. Save the JSON Claude returns as test.json.
  5. Open Privacy Sketch, click the Code button, paste the JSON, click Apply. It should render.
Privacy note. The skill is just a folder of instructions. It runs locally inside Claude Code. No prompts, no JSON, and no diagrams are sent to PrivacyPixTools.com.

Updating

The bundle is versioned by the SHA-256 hashes in MANIFEST.md. When we update the skill (new shape types, smarter prompts), download the latest zip and unzip over the same path. Existing files get replaced.

Uninstall

Delete the privacy-sketch folder from your skills directory:

# Windows Remove-Item -Recurse -Force "$env:USERPROFILE\.claude\skills\privacy-sketch" # macOS / Linux rm -rf ~/.claude/skills/privacy-sketch
