excalidraw

excalidraw is a command for coding agents from fakoli/fakoli-plugins. It costs 13 tokens per session (742 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for creating or changing Excalidraw diagram files from a description or codebase analysis. Excalidraw is a web-based whiteboard for hand-drawn-style diagrams.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to make architecture diagrams, flowcharts, entity-relationship diagrams, dependency graphs, or edits to existing Excalidraw files.
Why use it?
It provides a repeatable way to turn system information or written requirements into a structured visual diagram.

Command

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

npx agentmods add commands/fakoli/fakoli-plugins/excalidraw
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/fakoli/fakoli-plugins

Or install excalidraw-diagram, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 1 skill, 1 command, 1 agent.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

excalidraw scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Excalidraw Diagram Generation

Generate an Excalidraw diagram based on the following request.

Request

$ARGUMENTS

Instructions

  1. Analyze the request: Determine what kind of diagram is needed (architecture, flowchart, ER, dependency graph, etc.)

  2. Gather information if needed:

    • If the user references the codebase ("diagram this project", "show the architecture"), use Glob and Grep to analyze the code structure, imports, and components.
    • If the user provides a description, use it directly.
    • If an existing .excalidraw file is referenced, read it first.
  3. Choose the right settings:

    • Layout: top-down for flowcharts/trees, left-right for pipelines/flows, grid for architecture overviews
    • Theme: default for most cases, blueprint for dark-background formal docs, monochrome for print
    • Colors: Use consistent color coding (e.g., blue for services, green for databases, orange for external systems)
  4. Generate skeleton JSON: Create the skeleton with all shapes, arrows, labels, and frames needed.

  5. Run the converter:

    node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/convert.js" /tmp/excalidraw-skeleton.json <output-path>
    
  6. Report results: Tell the user the file path and how to open it.

Output Path

  • Default: ./<diagram-name>.excalidraw in the current working directory
  • If the user specifies a path, use that
  • For modifications, default to writing a new file (don't overwrite unless asked)

Converter Script

Located at: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/convert.js

Create mode:

node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/convert.js" /tmp/excalidraw-skeleton.json output.excalidraw

Modify mode:

node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/convert.js" --modify existing.excalidraw /tmp/excalidraw-additions.json output.excalidraw

Skeleton Format

Write the skeleton JSON to /tmp/excalidraw-skeleton.json before running the converter. See the excalidraw skill for full format documentation.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
