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 11d 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 — 536 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.

Editable forever. Themeable. Renderable to PNG. Open in Excalidraw, Obsidian, or VS Code. Twenty-nine typed layouts with progressive disclosure, a first-run brand gate, a taste gate that deletes until the argument is sharp, and a mandatory render-inspect loop — so the diagram is never “done” until it looks right.

Setup: If the user asks you to set up this skill (renderer, dependencies, etc.), use the installed adapter docs or the project README.

0. First-run theme gate

Before generating the first diagram in a new project, verify the theme is intentional.

Resolve the active theme (--theme → project .excalidraw-skill-pack.json~/.excalidraw-skill-pack/config.jsondefault-sketchy). If the project still rides the bundled default and the user has a brand, pause and ask:

"This project is still on default-sketchy. Customize the theme to match your brand first? (a) pull from a website URL, (b) extract from an installed skill, (c) extract from a local design-token folder, (d) paste tokens manually, (e) proceed with the default for now."

Then follow references/onboarding.md. Once onboarded (project config points at a theme, or the user explicitly chose default), skip this gate.

Don't silently ship default-skinned diagrams into a branded project.

Output Contract

When you create or edit a diagram:

  1. Produce a valid .excalidraw / excalidraw-skeleton / mermaid document, not a prose-only answer.
  2. Prefer skeleton format while drafting; hydrate to a full .excalidraw for the shareable deliverable.
  3. If the user names an output path, write there. Otherwise use ./diagram.excalidraw.
  4. Prefer the active theme for all color, typography, element, and layout decisions — read its palette.md before drawing.
  5. Pick a diagram type from references/types/index.md and load that type's reference before generating elements.
  6. Run the taste gate in references/taste-gate.md before declaring done.
  7. Render and inspect the PNG. Fix visible defects. Loop until it passes.
  8. In the final response, report the .excalidraw path, rendered image path if created, theme used, type used, and any validation caveats.

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.
