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-edit-skill 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.

Excalidraw Editing Skill

What This Skill Does

The excalidraw-skill creates diagrams. This skill edits them.

When the user clicks an element on the canvas, the browser computes rendering-level data (text overflow, overlaps, nearby elements) and pushes it to the server. This skill uses that structured data for precision editing — no guesswork about pixel coordinates, no pure screenshot analysis.


Tool Selection Guide

You want to... Use this tool
Inspect what the user just clicked get_selection
Check a specific element by ID get_element_context(id)
See the whole canvas layout describe_scene
Visually verify a change get_canvas_screenshot
Modify one element update_element
Move/resize multiple elements Multiple update_element calls
Fix layout spacing distribute_elements or align_elements
Element is locked unlock_elements first
Safety net before risky change snapshot_scene
Undo a bad change restore_snapshot

Decision tree for gathering context:

User clicked something in the canvas?
  → get_selection
  → Check hasSelection:
      true  → Analyze structured data, proceed to editing
      false → "你没有选中任何元素。请点击画布上的某个元素让我帮你检查。"

Need to check another element nearby?
  → get_element_context(id)

Need the full picture?
  → describe_scene + get_canvas_screenshot

Quality Checklist (Automated via Structured Data)

After get_selection, run these four checks against the structured data. The browser already computed the numbers — you just read them.

1. Text Overflow

Read elements[].renderedOverflow:

{
  "renderedOverflow": {
    "overflow": true,
    "textRenderedWidth": 342,
    "containerWidth": 60
  }
}

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.
