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 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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/add-arrow.py, scripts/add-icon-to-diagram.py, scripts/split-excalidraw-library.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.

Excalidraw Diagram Generation

Generate .excalidraw JSON files for architecture, flowcharts, and whiteboard-style diagrams using consistent brand theming.

Project Context — Read project-config.md in the repo root for brand tokens, color palette, and project metadata.

Use these colors for diagrams that appear in project docs, runbooks, or architecture artifacts.

When to Use

  • Creating architecture or system design diagrams for systems
  • Drawing flowcharts or decision trees for internal processes
  • Building mind maps or relationship diagrams with brand theming
  • Producing whiteboard visuals for project documentation

Supported Diagram Types

Type Use Case
Flowchart Processes, decision trees
Architecture System components, microservices
Mind Map Concept hierarchies, brainstorming
Relationship Entity relationships, data models
Sequence Message flows, interactions

Phase 1: Plan Layout

Spacing

Context Pixels
Horizontal gap 200-300
Vertical gap 100-150
Canvas margin 50+
Arrow clearance 20-30

Brand Color Palette

Role Hex Use
Primary entity #E10A0A Primary Red — main components, CTAs
Process step #ECFDF5 Light green fill (border #10B981)
Key / central #FEF3C7 Light yellow (border #F59E0B)
Warning / error #FFF7ED Light orange (border #F97316)
Background #F8F9FA Light background
Default stroke #1F2937 Navy

Keep total elements under 20 per diagram. Split larger systems.

Phase 2: JSON Structure

Same as standard Excalidraw: type, version, source, elements, appState, files. Use brand palette hex values in backgroundColor and strokeColor.

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.
