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-generator 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 5d 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 Generator

Create complete, valid .excalidraw.json files that users can directly open at excalidraw.com.

Core Capabilities

Diagram types supported:

  • Flowcharts - Process flows, decision trees, workflows
  • Architecture Diagrams - System architectures, network topologies, component diagrams
  • UML Diagrams - Class diagrams, sequence diagrams, use case diagrams
  • Mind Maps - Hierarchical concept maps, brainstorming diagrams

Two visual styles:

  • Professional Mode (default): Clean, polished diagrams for technical documentation
  • Hand-drawn Mode: Sketch-style diagrams for brainstorming and informal use

Quick Reference

JSON Schema

{
  "type": "excalidraw",
  "version": 2,
  "source": "https://excalidraw.com",
  "elements": [],
  "appState": {
    "gridSize": null,
    "viewBackgroundColor": "#ffffff"
  },
  "files": {}
}

Coordinate System

  • Origin: Top-left corner (0, 0)
  • X-axis: Increases rightward
  • Y-axis: Increases downward
  • Unit: Pixels

Grid-Based Layout System

Use a 20px grid for alignment:

GRID_UNIT = 20
COLUMN_WIDTH = 200    # Element + gap
ROW_HEIGHT = 150      # Element + gap

Position formula:
  x = START_X + (column * COLUMN_WIDTH)
  y = START_Y + (row * ROW_HEIGHT)

Recommended START_X = 50, START_Y = 100

Standard Element Sizes

Element Width Height Use Case
Small box 120 60 Labels, simple steps
Standard box 160 80 Process steps
Large box 200 100 Detailed nodes
Wide box 240 80 Long text
Diamond 100 100 Decision points
Circle 80 80 Start/End nodes

Text Calculations (CRITICAL)

Text Height Formula

textHeight = fontSize × lineHeight × numberOfLines
           = fontSize × 1.25 × numberOfLines

Examples:
- 1 line, fontSize 20: 20 × 1.25 × 1 = 25px
- 3 lines, fontSize 14: 14 × 1.25 × 3 = 52.5px ≈ 53px
- 12 lines, fontSize 15: 15 × 1.25 × 12 = 225px

Files

What ships with it

3 files 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.

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.
