What problem does it solve?
This Skill converts textual plans and system descriptions into Excalidraw .excalidraw JSON that communicates structure, causality, and intent visually, removing the guesswork and manual effort of producing multi-zoom, evidence-backed diagrams.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Visual Arguments: Designs diagrams that argue a point—structure, flow, and relationships are conveyed by shape and layout, not just labels.
- Brand Consistency: Reads a single source of truth for colors and styles from references/color-palette.md so all diagrams match brand guidelines.
- Evidence & Multi-Zoom: Supports evidence artifacts (code snippets, JSON examples), summary + sectioned detail views, and a three-level zoom mindset for educational or technical diagrams.
- Render Pipeline: Includes a render script and template to export PNGs and prescribes a render-and-validate loop to iterate until the visual result is correct.
- Use Case: Produce a technical architecture diagram that shows a summary flow, section boundaries, and concrete JSON payload examples for developer documentation or tutorials.
Quick Start
Create an Excalidraw JSON that summarizes a microservice architecture with a top-level summary, sectioned details, and one evidence artifact showing a real JSON payload.
