aws-architecture-diagram

aws-architecture-diagram is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from vidanov/aws-architecture-diagram-skill. It costs 43 tokens per session (5,281 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for creating AWS architecture diagrams as draw.io files. AWS is Amazon’s cloud platform, and draw.io is a tool for making diagrams.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to map request flows, data sources, parallel system paths, monitoring services, queues, and other AWS components.
Why use it?
It turns a description of an AWS system into a structured diagram with a consistent layout and service icons.

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

aws-architecture-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.

Instructions

Generate a draw.io (.drawio) XML file representing an AWS architecture diagram.

Layout

  • Left-to-right flow for data/request path
  • UI/Frontend on the LEFT (users access from left side)
  • Data sources / external systems on the RIGHT
  • Use horizontal lanes for parallel paths (top lane, bottom lane)
  • Minimum 220px horizontal spacing between icons (to leave room for edge labels)
  • Minimum 250px vertical spacing between lanes (so vertical edges don't crowd)
  • Secondary/auxiliary services (monitoring, DLQ, error paths) go BELOW the main flow with 280px+ vertical gap

Canvas

  • Large canvas: pageWidth="2400" pageHeight="1400" minimum
  • Set dx="2800" dy="1600" for proper viewport
  • Always include a title block as the first element after the background:
<mxCell value="&lt;b&gt;Diagram Title&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;Author | Date | Version" style="text;html=1;align=left;verticalAlign=top;whiteSpace=wrap;rounded=0;fontSize=14;spacing=8;" vertex="1" parent="1">
  <mxGeometry x="40" y="30" width="420" height="60" as="geometry" />
</mxCell>

Icon Style

  • Icons are from draw.io's built-in mxgraph.aws4 stencil library — the official AWS Architecture Icons (https://aws.amazon.com/architecture/icons/, updated quarterly)
  • Icon size: 78x78px for main services, 65x65px for secondary
  • Use sketch=0;outlineConnect=0; on all icons
  • Use strokeColor=#ffffff on all AWS service icons
  • MUST include fillColor — without it, icons render as invisible/white in PNG export
  • Font size: 12px for labels
  • Always include: fontColor=#232F3E;verticalLabelPosition=bottom;verticalAlign=top;align=center;html=1;aspect=fixed;

fillColor by AWS service category:

Category fillColor Services
Compute #ED7100 Lambda, EC2, ECS, EKS, Fargate

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.
