excalidraw-agents365

Excalidraw diagram generation for coding agents. Turns natural-language descriptions of system architecture, flows, and technical documentation into .excalidraw files, exported to SVG through the Kroki API or to PNG/SVG with a local CLI.

Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
1 bundled files
Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.
Open source
Published by podo on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Excalidraw Agents365 AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
https://github.com/podo/design-agent-skills/tree/main/skills/excalidraw-agents365
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/podo/design-agent-skills.git /tmp/design-agent-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/design-agent-skills/skills/excalidraw-agents365 .claude/skills/excalidraw-agents365

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Excalidraw Agents365 in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Excalidraw Agents365 on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Excalidraw Agents365 is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Catalogue stub — full skill: Agents365-ai/365-skills (plugins/excalidraw)

Decision tree

Is the full skill already installed? Upstream names this skill excalidraw, so it installs next to this pointer (the pointer is not replaced).
- Global: f=~/.agents/skills/excalidraw/SKILL.md; [ -f "$f" ] && ! grep -q "^das:" "$f" && echo "installed" || echo "pointer"
- Project: f=.agents/skills/excalidraw/SKILL.md; [ -f "$f" ] && ! grep -q "^das:" "$f" && echo "installed" || echo "pointer"
- installed → the skill is installed as excalidraw, invoke it and proceed
- pointer → go to step 2

Detect scope, then install:

bash
[ -e ~/.agents/skills/excalidraw-agents365 ] && echo "global" || echo "project"

Global:

bash
npx skills add Agents365-ai/365-skills --skill excalidraw -g -y

Project:

bash
npx skills add Agents365-ai/365-skills --skill excalidraw -y

Claude Code: send a command as a chat message starting with ! to run it without leaving the conversation.

Claude Code plugin route:


/plugin marketplace add Agents365-ai/365-skills
/plugin install excalidraw@365-skills

Heads-up

Requires: curl for SVG export through the third-party Kroki API (kroki.io), which receives your diagram content; PNG export needs excalidraw-brute-export-cli (npm) and Playwright Firefox; on macOS the skill also patches that global module
License: MIT (plugins/excalidraw/LICENSE; the repository has no top-level LICENSE file)
Download size: ~53 MB.
Name collision: excalidraw is also written by softaworks-agent-toolkit (its install or its catalogue pointer); installing both overwrites the earlier one.

Invoke after install

Skill name: excalidraw
Trigger phrases: "architecture diagram excalidraw", "system diagram"
The installed skill is marked disable-model-invocation: true, so in Claude Code it does not auto-trigger: call it by name (/excalidraw) or ask for it explicitly.

What it does

Generates Excalidraw diagrams tuned for coding agent workflows — system architecture, flow charts, and technical documentation — as .excalidraw JSON files, from a natural-language description. Export has two backends: the zero-install Kroki API via curl (SVG only, the diagram content is sent to kroki.io) or a local Firefox-based CLI for PNG and SVG. Optimized for clean, structured output rather than freeform sketching. Moved from the standalone excalidraw-skill repo into the 365-skills collection.

When NOT to use

Quick ideation sketches with a hosted edit link → use hand-drawn-diagrams
A render-and-verify Excalidraw workflow with a Playwright validation loop → use excalidraw-diagram
Diagrams that must not leave your machine → use the local CLI export only (not the Kroki option), or another diagram skill

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Excalidraw Agents365 AI skill do?

Why use Excalidraw Agents365 on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Excalidraw Agents365 is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Excalidraw Agents365 in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/podo/design-agent-skills/tree/main/skills/excalidraw-agents365. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Excalidraw Agents365?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Excalidraw Agents365?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Excalidraw Agents365 with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Excalidraw Agents365 AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by podo under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
