drawio-aws-reference

drawio-aws-reference is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from patvillarroel/drawio-aws-reference. It costs 119 tokens per session (4,043 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for creating editable AWS architecture diagrams in draw.io, a diagram editor. It uses the AWS 2026 icon set and includes checks for valid AWS stencil names and diagram structure.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create, revise, or review AWS architecture diagrams and deliver them as editable .drawio files.
Why use it?
It helps avoid diagrams with invalid icons, missing connections, or resources that are not connected to any system flow.

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-aws-reference 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 9d 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.

AWS architecture diagrams in draw.io

The goal is to hand over a .drawio file the user can open and adjust without rebuilding nodes. Most rework comes from four mechanical mistakes, and all four are avoidable by following this spec literally.

Mermaid is fine for iterating on the logic inside the conversation. The deliverable is always .drawio.

Source of truth

When the user supplies both a prose description and a Mermaid sketch, the prose wins. Mermaid is a convenience for reading the shape of the system, and it drops detail: a flow mentioned in the description but missing from the diagram is still a flow.

Read both, then check for orphans: any resource with no edge in or out. A bucket nothing writes to, a queue nothing reads, a database nobody queries. An orphan is almost always a gap in the source description rather than a real dead end. Ask before drawing it, and say which flow you think is missing.

Required workflow

  1. Settle the logic of the diagram in text or Mermaid, and confirm it with the user before writing any XML.
  2. Look up every name: service icons in reference/resicons.txt, VPC sub-components and actors in reference/shapes.txt, containers in reference/groups.md. Never write a stencil name from memory.
  3. Write the .drawio file.
  4. Run scripts/validate.py against it and fix everything it reports as an error.
  5. Deliver, and close with the handover note below.

Step 4 is not optional. A diagram that has not passed the validator is not delivered.

Handover note

The validator checks the mechanics. It cannot see the rendered result, so spacing that is technically legal can still look wrong, and an edge label can still land somewhere awkward. Say so when handing the file over, in the user's language, in one or two sentences. Something along these lines:

El diagrama puede necesitar retoques menores. Puedes resolverlos en draw.io, o exportarme el PNG en modo claro y sin fondo transparente y lo ajusto yo.

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.

drawio-aws-reference is a skill published in the GitHub repository patvillarroel/drawio-aws-reference (8 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 119 tokens to every session and 4,043 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
