axton-obsidian-visual-skills is a set of Claude Code skills that turns text descriptions into Canvas, Excalidraw, and Mermaid diagrams for Obsidian. It is intended for people who want to create flowcharts, mind maps, and other visual notes from text, and the catalogue includes its three skills and plugin.
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.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00104 | $0.04656 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00052 | $0.02328 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00021 | $0.00931 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00466 |
Grade A, and why
excalidraw-diagram 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 12d 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.

How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 477 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Excalidraw Diagram Generator
Create Excalidraw diagrams from text content with multiple output formats.
Output Modes
根据用户的触发词选择输出模式：
| 触发词 | 输出模式 | 文件格式 | 用途 |
|---|---|---|---|
Excalidraw、画图、流程图、思维导图 |
Obsidian（默认） | .md |
在 Obsidian 中直接打开 |
标准Excalidraw、standard excalidraw |
Standard | .excalidraw |
在 excalidraw.com 打开/编辑/分享 |
Excalidraw动画、动画图、animate |
Animated | .excalidraw |
拖到 excalidraw-animate 生成动画 |
Workflow
- Detect output mode from trigger words (see Output Modes table above)
- Analyze content - identify concepts, relationships, hierarchy
- Choose diagram type (see Diagram Types below)
- Generate Excalidraw JSON (add animation order if Animated mode)
- Output in correct format based on mode
- Automatically save to current working directory
- Notify user with file path and usage instructions
Output Formats
Mode 1: Obsidian Format (Default)
严格按照以下结构输出，不得有任何修改：
---
excalidraw-plugin: parsed
tags: [excalidraw]
---
==⚠ Switch to EXCALIDRAW VIEW in the MORE OPTIONS menu of this document. ⚠== You can decompress Drawing data with the command palette: 'Decompress current Excalidraw file'. For more info check in plugin settings under 'Saving'
# Excalidraw Data
## Text Elements
%%
## Drawing
\`\`\`json
{JSON 完整数据}
\`\`\`
%%
关键要点：
- Frontmatter 必须包含
tags: [excalidraw] - 警告信息必须完整
- JSON 必须被
%%标记包围 - 不能使用
excalidraw-plugin: parsed以外的其他 frontmatter 设置 - 文件扩展名：
.md
Mode 2: Standard Excalidraw Format
直接输出纯 JSON 文件，可在 excalidraw.com 打开：
{
"type": "excalidraw",
"version": 2,
"source": "https://excalidraw.com",
"elements": [...],
"appState": {
"gridSize": null,
"viewBackgroundColor": "#ffffff"
},
"files": {}
}
关键要点：
source使用https://excalidraw.com（不是 Obsidian 插件）- 纯 JSON，无 Markdown 包装
- 文件扩展名：
.excalidraw
Mode 3: Animated Excalidraw Format
与 Standard 格式相同，但每个元素添加 customData.animate 字段控制动画顺序：
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.
