excalidraw-diagram

excalidraw-diagram is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from dnsatgit/aigod. It costs 34 tokens per session (3,116 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of excalidraw-diagram, MIT.

A guide for creating Excalidraw diagram files that explain workflows, system designs, or ideas visually. Excalidraw is a tool for making diagrams with a hand-drawn style.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating diagrams that explain workflows, architectures, and other concepts as visual arguments.
Why use it?
It helps turn relationships and cause-and-effect into a diagram instead of presenting only written labels.

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-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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (references/render_excalidraw.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 380 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Excalidraw Diagram Creator

Generate .excalidraw JSON files that argue visually, not just display information.

Setup: If the user asks you to set up this skill (renderer, dependencies, etc.), see README.md for instructions.

Customization

All colors and brand-specific styles live in one file: references/color-palette.md. Read it before generating any diagram and use it as the single source of truth for all color choices — shape fills, strokes, text colors, evidence artifact backgrounds, everything.

To make this skill produce diagrams in your own brand style, edit color-palette.md. Everything else in this file is universal design methodology and Excalidraw best practices.


Core Philosophy

Diagrams should ARGUE, not DISPLAY.

A diagram isn't formatted text. It's a visual argument that shows relationships, causality, and flow that words alone can't express. The shape should BE the meaning.

The Isomorphism Test: If you removed all text, would the structure alone communicate the concept? If not, redesign.

The Education Test: Could someone learn something concrete from this diagram, or does it just label boxes? A good diagram teaches—it shows actual formats, real event names, concrete examples.


Depth Assessment (Do This First)

Before designing, determine what level of detail this diagram needs:

Simple/Conceptual Diagrams

Use abstract shapes when:

  • Explaining a mental model or philosophy
  • The audience doesn't need technical specifics
  • The concept IS the abstraction (e.g., "separation of concerns")

Comprehensive/Technical Diagrams

Use concrete examples when:

  • Diagramming a real system, protocol, or architecture
  • The diagram will be used to teach or explain (e.g., YouTube video)
  • The audience needs to understand what things actually look like
  • You're showing how multiple technologies integrate

For technical diagrams, you MUST include evidence artifacts (see below).

Changes

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.
