What problem does it solve? Drawing a clear CI/CD pipeline plus cloud deployment topology by hand is slow and error-prone: pipeline stages end up out of order, promotion arrows get confused with traffic paths, and managed services land in the wrong frame. This Skill produces a validated deployment diagram that shows both the left-to-right delivery pipeline and the runtime topology (zones, cluster, environments, load balancer, managed services) on one canvas. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Three creation paths: build from a text prompt, from a repository analysis, or by converting an existing architecture/microservices drawing into a deployment view. - Structured topology rules: pipeline stages ordered left-to-right ending at a single registry hinge, framed environments (dev/stage/prod) inside a cluster frame inside a VPC/zone frame, managed services outside the cluster, and traffic entering only via the load balancer. - Quality loop with scoring: lint, score, repair, polish, and architecture validation iterate until the drawing scores at least 95 with zero hard blockers, with rollback to checkpoints on regression. - Secret redaction: registry tokens, kubeconfig credentials, database URLs, and cloud provider keys are redacted before any tool call and re-scanned in the export. - Use Case: Ask for "GitHub Actions builds and pushes to ECR, Argo CD deploys to an EKS cluster with dev/stage/prod behind an ALB" and receive a saved, shareable, exportable Excalidraw deployment diagram. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to draw your CI/CD pipeline and cloud deployment, naming your CI tool, container registry, cloud provider, cluster, environments, and managed services.
