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

drawio-skill 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 8d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 38 executable files (scripts/aiicons.py, scripts/autolayout.py, scripts/buildup.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.

Draw.io Diagrams

Overview

Generate .drawio XML files and export to PNG/SVG/PDF/JPG locally using the native draw.io desktop app CLI.

Supported formats: PNG, SVG, PDF, JPG — no browser automation needed.

PNG, SVG, and PDF exports support --embed-diagram (-e) — the exported file contains the full diagram XML, so opening it in draw.io recovers the editable diagram. Use double extensions (name.drawio.png) to signal embedded XML.

When to use / when NOT to use

Use this skill for: polished, precise diagrams (architecture, network, strict UML, ERD), anything needing solid opaque fills, 10,000+ stock/branded shapes, swimlanes, or custom geometry, exported as editable PNG/SVG/PDF.

Do NOT use it — route elsewhere — for:

  • A casual hand-drawn / whiteboard look → excalidraw or tldraw.
  • Diagrams-as-code that live in git / render in Markdown → mermaid (general) or plantuml (UML).
  • Freeform infinite-canvas sketching or freehand strokes → tldraw.

Bundled resources

When the workflow references one of these, read it on demand — none of them need to be in context up front.

File Read it when
references/toolbox.md You're not sure which bundled script fits a request, or want to chain several — a map of all 31 scripts grouped by use-case (author / import code / import IaC / import API spec / live infra / compare / annotate / reverse-export / utilities) with an "I have X, I want Y → use Z" guide
references/xml-authoring.md You're about to hand-write .drawio XML (workflow step 3) — file skeleton, shape/edge cells, containers, connection distribution, palette, spacing/grid rules. Not needed when a bundled generator writes the XML
references/mermaid-authoring.md The diagram is a standard type with no custom styling/icon needs (flowchart, state, gantt, mindmap, timeline, journey, pie, …) and the CLI is ≥ v30 — author it as Mermaid text and let the CLI convert to native .drawio (structure only, layout free). Also documents the CLI's ELK --layout pass for XML
references/diagram-types.md The user names a specific diagram type (ERD, UML class, sequence, C4, architecture, ML/DL, flowchart, SysML, BPMN, network topology, swimlane)
references/shapes.md + scripts/shapesearch.py The diagram needs a specific shape — a cloud icon (AWS/Azure/GCP), Cisco/Kubernetes/network symbol, UML/BPMN/ER/electrical/P&ID element — or any time you'd otherwise guess a style= string. shapesearch.py "<keywords>" returns the exact official style for 10k+ shapes
scripts/aiicons.py The diagram involves an AI/LLM brand (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Mistral, Llama, HuggingFace, Ollama, LangChain, …) — aiicons.py "<brand>" returns a draw.io image style for the brand logo (lobe-icons via CDN; --embed to inline). draw.io has no built-in AI logos. See references/shapes.md → "AI / LLM brand logos"
references/style-presets.md The user asks to learn / save / list / set-default / delete a style preset, or you've resolved an active preset and need the application rules
references/style-extraction.md You're inside the Learn flow and need the extraction procedure (called from style-presets.md)
references/troubleshooting.md An export fails, vision rejects a PNG, or a rendering looks wrong
scripts/repair_png.py After every -e PNG export — fixes draw.io's truncated IEND chunk (issue #8)
scripts/encode_drawio_url.py The CLI is unavailable and you need a browser-fallback diagrams.net URL (--edit for an editable editor URL)
references/autolayout.md The diagram is large or layout-heavy (dependency/call graph, code structure, >~15 nodes) and you want Graphviz to place nodes + route edges instead of hand-placing coordinates
scripts/pyimports.py · jsimports.py · goimports.py · rustimports.py The user wants to visualize a Python, JS/TS, Go, or Rust project structure — extracts the import graph (transitive-reduced, optional --group containers, nested by sub-package) for autolayout
scripts/pyclasses.py The user wants a Python class hierarchy / class diagram — extracts classes + inheritance edges (boxed by module with --group) for autolayout
scripts/tfimports.py · k8simports.py · composeimports.py The user wants to visualize declared infrastructure (Terraform .tf, Kubernetes manifests, or docker-compose) — extracts the resource/service reference graph (official AWS/Azure/GCP/K8s icons for tf/k8s; service boxes + volume cylinders for compose) for autolayout
scripts/tfstate.py · dockerimports.py (+ k8simports.py) The user wants to draw what is ACTUALLY running / deployed — pipe terraform show -json (deployed state), docker inspect $(docker ps -q) (live containers), or kubectl get all,ing,cm,secret,pvc -o json (live cluster, via k8simports) and get the real topology with the same official icons. See references/live-infra.md
scripts/drawiodiff.py The user wants to compare / diff two diagrams or two snapshots ("what changed", infra drift) — drawiodiff.py old.drawio new.drawio -o diff.json emits a colour-coded graph (added=green, removed=red, changed=orange, same=grey) for autolayout. Matches by cell id (importer/live-snapshot output) or --by-label (hand-drawn)
scripts/timelapse.py The user wants an architecture time-lapse / to see how a codebase's structure evolved over git historytimelapse.py <dir> --importer pyimports re-runs an importer at each sampled commit and assembles a self-contained HTML player (embedded frames, play/step controls). Best on a package with real import edges (point <dir> at the module root)
scripts/explain.py The user wants to describe / document / summarize an existing .drawio in words (reverse of generating one) — explain.py diagram.drawio emits structured Markdown: components grouped by container/tier, relations (A —label→ B), per-page sections for multi-page/C4. Good for a README/PR summary or a text-only read-out
scripts/drawio2pptx.py The user wants a PowerPoint deck / slides from a diagramdrawio2pptx.py diagram.drawio -o deck.pptx puts each page on its own 16:9 slide (page name as title), so a multi-page C4 model becomes a ready-to-present deck. Needs python-pptx (pip install python-pptx) + the draw.io CLI
scripts/drawiohtml.py The user wants a shareable interactive viewer for a diagram (pan / zoom / search, no draw.io needed) — drawiohtml.py diagram.drawio -o viewer.html inlines every page's SVG into ONE self-contained HTML with page tabs, drag-pan, wheel-zoom, node search (Enter cycles + centres matches) and working drill-down links (a C4 model's data:page/id links switch tabs). No server, no external requests — send the file to anyone
scripts/svgflow.py The user wants an animated / "flowing" diagram (data-flow, moving edges) — svgflow.py diagram.drawio -o flow.svg exports to SVG and makes every edge a marching-ants animation (dashes travel along the arrows). Self-contained looping .svg that renders on GitHub / any browser; --speed / --dash / --reverse
scripts/drawio2mermaid.py The user wants to convert a .drawio into Mermaid text (diagrams-as-code for a Markdown file that GitHub renders) — drawio2mermaid.py diagram.drawio emits a flowchart (containers → subgraphs, edge labels kept, cylinder/rhombus shapes mapped); --fenced wraps in ```mermaid, multi-page → one graph per page. Structural only (styling/icons don't survive)
scripts/sqlerd.py The user wants an ER diagram from SQL DDL — parses CREATE TABLE statements into per-table nodes (columns with PK/FK markers) and crow's-foot FK edges for autolayout
scripts/ciimports.py The user wants a CI pipeline diagram (GitHub Actions workflows or GitLab CI) — ciimports.py <repo-root> reads .github/workflows/*.yml + .gitlab-ci.yml and emits jobs (runner, matrix size, reusable-workflow calls), needs: dependency edges, per-workflow trigger nodes, and stage/workflow containers for autolayout. Needs PyYAML
scripts/openapiimports.py The user wants an API diagram from an OpenAPI / Swagger specopenapiimports.py spec.yaml maps each operation to a node coloured by HTTP method (GET blue, POST green, PUT/PATCH orange, DELETE red) plus one node per component schema, with edges from operations to the schemas they use and between nested schemas. --group boxes by tag, --no-schemas shows just the endpoint surface; feeds autolayout
scripts/heatmap.py The user wants to colour an existing .drawio by data (a cost / latency / traffic / error-rate heat map) — heatmap.py diagram.drawio -m metrics.csv matches each metric (CSV key,value or JSON {key:value}) to a node by id or label and recolours it along a gradient (--palette heat|cool|warm, --reverse), optionally scaling node size (--size) and adding a legend. Post-processes any diagram; export as usual
scripts/seqlayout.py The user wants a sequence diagram — describe participants + messages as JSON and the script computes all lifeline/activation/arrow geometry deterministically (no hand-placed coordinates, no Graphviz needed)
scripts/c4.py The user wants a C4 model (System Context / Container / Component) — levels JSON in, one multi-page .drawio out with official C4 shapes/colors and click-to-drill-down links between levels
scripts/relabel.py The user wants a language variant or bulk text swap of an existing .drawio (e.g. an EN diagram re-labelled in Chinese for a bilingual README) — relabel.py diagram.drawio --extract -o labels.json dumps every label as an identity JSON map; translate the values (keep the keys), then relabel.py diagram.drawio --map labels.json -o diagram_cn.drawio swaps them with layout/styles/ids untouched
scripts/restyle.py The user wants to re-theme an EXISTING .drawio ("make this dark", "apply my corporate style to this diagram") — restyle.py diagram.drawio --preset <name> remaps every vertex fill/stroke to the preset palette by hue, applies font/extras (dark fontColor, edge color, background), and leaves layout, shapes, and edge routing untouched. Presets resolve like Step 0 (user dir, then built-ins)
scripts/edgeports.py Edges stack on top of each other where they meet a shape — the usual swimlane/cross-functional complaint, and anywhere a node has several connections leaving the same side. edgeports.py diagram.drawio pins exitX/exitY+entryX/entryY: it picks the side of each node facing the other endpoint, then spreads that side's edges over evenly-spaced slots ordered by the far endpoint's position, so they keep their relative order instead of crossing. Resolves absolute coordinates through swimlane parents, skips ends you already pinned, and is idempotent. It is a port assigner, not a router — it separates lines at the shape boundary, it will not stop an edge crossing an unrelated shape mid-run (add waypoints for that)
scripts/validate.py You generated a .drawio (especially via autolayout or for a large hand-placed diagram) and want a fast deterministic structural lint (dangling edges, dup/reserved ids, broken parents, overlaps) before the vision self-check. --score prints a readability score for comparing layout variants
scripts/raster2drawio.py The user has an image of a diagram (whiteboard photo, legacy PNG, Visio screenshot) and wants an editable .drawio — read the image with your own vision, extract nodes/edges as JSON (schema + full workflow in references/derasterize.md), then raster2drawio.py graph.json -o out.drawio honours those coordinates/labels/shapes; nodes missing x/y fall back to autolayout.py placement
scripts/buildup.py The user wants a diagram to build itself node-by-node as a video/GIF (a construction time-lapse of ONE static diagram — distinct from timelapse.py's git-history animation) — buildup.py diagram.drawio reveals cells in topological (dependency) order into a self-contained HTML player (play/pause/step/scrub); --gif also exports an animated GIF (needs Pillow). Needs the draw.io CLI
scripts/compress.py The user wants an executive / boardroom summary of a big diagram — collapses clusters (pure-Python label propagation, no networkx) into one labeled node each with aggregated inter-cluster edges, emitting a 2-page .drawio (exec view + click-to-drill-down into the full original). Claude can rename clusters semantically afterward. Needs Graphviz dot
scripts/runbook.py The user wants a flowchart/decision-tree .drawio turned into a click-through triage app (on-call runbook) — runbook.py flow.drawio reads the XML (no draw.io CLI needed) and emits a self-contained HTML runbook: current-step text, per-edge choice buttons, breadcrumb trail, Back/Restart, end-state on terminal nodes
scripts/prdiff.py You're setting up automated PR diagram review in CI — for every .drawio changed between two git refs it renders base/head/diff PNGs and emits a Markdown report; ships with a composite GitHub Action (.github/actions/drawio-diff/) that posts a sticky PR comment. See references/pr-bot.md
scripts/tubemap.py The user wants a metro / subway / tube map — a system, pipeline, or journey drawn as coloured transit lines with octilinear (H/V/45°) routing, white interchange circles, and station stops. Compose a metro JSON (lines = ordered stations on an integer grid, shared stations = interchanges), then tubemap.py metro.json -o metro.drawio. Stdlib-only; schema + the one grid rule in references/tubemap.md
