What does drawio-skill do?

drawio-skill is a skill that makes and edits diagrams as editable .drawio files instead of flat images. It routes each request: hand-written XML for styled drawings, Mermaid conversion for standard charts, autolayout.py for large graphs, and diagramctl.py build for Terraform, Kubernetes, SQL, OpenAPI, GraphQL or Protobuf sources. The same tool can sync a diagram with changed code, project executive or security views, test it against policy rules and run what-if failures. Claude validates the file, inspects a draft PNG, fixes overlaps, and exports final PNG, SVG or PDF after you approve. It loads only when you call it by name.

When should you use drawio-skill?

Use it when

  • You want a diagram from Terraform or Kubernetes files
  • Your team edits diagrams in diagrams.net
  • You want architecture rules tested in CI

Skip it when

  • Diagrams as code in Markdown are enough
  • You can't install Python 3

How the formula works

Is drawio-skill safe to install?

Every scanner that checked it passed it. Scanners often miss what other scanners catch, and a skill can change after a scan. Read its source before you install it.
