Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00154 | $0.05276 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00077 | $0.02638 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00031 | $0.01055 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00528 |
Grade A, and why
excalidraw-skill scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.
Makes network callslowCapability
Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.
2. Optional: `curl -X DELETE http://127.0.0.1:3000/api/elements/clear` This is a copy
88% identical to excalidraw-skill — 107 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Excalidraw Skill
Step 0: Determine Connection Mode
Two modes are available. Try MCP first — it has more capabilities.
MCP mode (preferred): If excalidraw/batch_create_elements and other excalidraw/* tools appear in your tool list, use them directly. MCP tools handle label and arrow binding format automatically.
REST API mode (fallback): If MCP tools aren't available, use HTTP endpoints at http://127.0.0.1:3000. See the cheatsheet for REST payloads. Note the format differences in the table below — REST and MCP accept slightly different field names.
Neither works? Tell the user:
The Excalidraw canvas server is not running. To set up:
git clone https://github.com/yctimlin/mcp_excalidraw && cd mcp_excalidrawnpm ci && npm run buildPORT=3000 npm run canvas- Open
http://127.0.0.1:3000in a browser- (Recommended) Install the MCP server:
claude mcp add excalidraw -s user -e EXPRESS_SERVER_URL=http://127.0.0.1:3000 -- node /path/to/mcp_excalidraw/dist/index.js

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.
