# Excalidraw Diagram Skill
|
||||
|
||||
Create diagrams by writing standard Excalidraw element JSON and saving as `.excalidraw` files. These files can be drag-and-dropped onto [excalidraw.com](https://excalidraw.com) for viewing and editing. No accounts, no API keys, no rendering libraries -- just JSON.
|
||||
|
||||
## Workflow
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Load this skill** (you already did)
|
||||
2. **Write the elements JSON** -- an array of Excalidraw element objects
|
||||
3. **Save the file** using `write_file` to create a `.excalidraw` file
|
||||
4. **Optionally upload** for a shareable link using `scripts/upload.py` via `terminal`
|
||||
|
||||
### Saving a Diagram
|
||||
|
||||
Wrap your elements array in the standard `.excalidraw` envelope and save with `write_file`:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "excalidraw",
|
||||
"version": 2,
|
||||
"source": "hermes-agent",
|
||||
"elements": [ ...your elements array here... ],
|
||||
"appState": {
|
||||
"viewBackgroundColor": "#ffffff"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Save to any path, e.g. `~/diagrams/my_diagram.excalidraw`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Uploading for a Shareable Link
|
||||
|
||||
Run the upload script (located in this skill's `scripts/` directory) via terminal:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
python skills/diagramming/excalidraw/scripts/upload.py ~/diagrams/my_diagram.excalidraw
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This uploads to excalidraw.com (no account needed) and prints a shareable URL. Requires the `cryptography` pip package (`pip install cryptography`).
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Element Format Reference
|
||||
|
||||
### Required Fields (all elements)
|
||||
`type`, `id` (unique string), `x`, `y`, `width`, `height`
|
||||
|
||||
### Defaults (skip these -- they're applied automatically)
|
||||
- `strokeColor`: `"#1e1e1e"`
|
||||
- `backgroundColor`: `"transparent"`
|
||||
- `fillStyle`: `"solid"`
|
||||
- `strokeWidth`: `2`
|
||||
- `roughness`: `1` (hand-drawn look)
|
||||
- `opacity`: `100`
|
||||
|
||||
Canvas background is white.
|
||||
|
||||
### Element Types
|
||||
|
||||
**Rectangle**:
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{ "type": "rectangle", "id": "r1", "x": 100, "y": 100, "width": 200, "height": 100 }
|
||||
```
|
||||
- `roundness: { "type": 3 }` for rounded corners
|
||||
- `backgroundColor: "#a5d8ff"`, `fillStyle: "solid"` for filled
|
||||
|
||||
**Ellipse**:
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{ "type": "ellipse", "id": "e1", "x": 100, "y": 100, "width": 150, "height": 150 }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Diamond**:
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{ "type": "diamond", "id": "d1", "x": 100, "y": 100, "width": 150, "height": 150 }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Labeled shape (container binding)** -- create a text element bound to the shape:
|
||||
|
||||
> **WARNING:** Do NOT use `"label": { "text": "..." }` on shapes. This is NOT a valid
|
||||
> Excalidraw property and will be silently ignored, producing blank shapes. You MUST
|
||||
> use the container binding approach below.
|
||||
|
||||
The shape needs `boundElements` listing the text, and the text needs `containerId` pointing back:
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{ "type": "rectangle", "id": "r1", "x": 100, "y": 100, "width": 200, "height": 80,
|
||||
"roundness": { "type": 3 }, "backgroundColor": "#a5d8ff", "fillStyle": "solid",
|
||||
"boundElements": [{ "id": "t_r1", "type": "text" }] },
|
||||
{ "type": "text", "id": "t_r1", "x": 105, "y": 110, "width": 190, "height": 25,
|
||||
"text": "Hello", "fontSize": 20, "fontFamily": 1, "strokeColor": "#1e1e1e",
|
||||
"textAlign": "center", "verticalAlign": "middle",
|
||||
"containerId": "r1", "originalText": "Hello", "autoResize": true }
|
||||
```
|
||||
- Works on rectangle, ellipse, diamond
|
||||
- Text is auto-centered by Excalidraw when `containerId` is set
|
||||
- The text `x`/`y`/`width`/`height` are approximate -- Excalidraw recalculates them on load
|
||||
- `originalText` should match `text`
|
||||
- Always include `fontFamily: 1` (Virgil/hand-drawn font)
|
||||
|
||||
**Labeled arrow** -- same container binding approach:
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{ "type": "arrow", "id": "a1", "x": 300, "y": 150, "width": 200, "height": 0,
|
||||
"points": [[0,0],[200,0]], "endArrowhead": "arrow",
|
||||
"boundElements": [{ "id": "t_a1", "type": "text" }] },
|
||||
{ "type": "text", "id": "t_a1", "x": 370, "y": 130, "width": 60, "height": 20,
|
||||
"text": "connects", "fontSize": 16, "fontFamily": 1, "strokeColor": "#1e1e1e",
|
||||
"textAlign": "center", "verticalAlign": "middle",
|
||||
"containerId": "a1", "originalText": "connects", "autoResize": true }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Standalone text** (titles and annotations only -- no container):
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{ "type": "text", "id": "t1", "x": 150, "y": 138, "text": "Hello", "fontSize": 20,
|
||||
"fontFamily": 1, "strokeColor": "#1e1e1e", "originalText": "Hello", "autoResize": true }
|
||||
```
|
||||
- `x` is the LEFT edge. To center at position `cx`: `x = cx - (text.length * fontSize * 0.5) / 2`
|
||||
- Do NOT rely on `textAlign` or `width` for positioning
|
||||
|
||||
**Arrow**:
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{ "type": "arrow", "id": "a1", "x": 300, "y": 150, "width": 200, "height": 0,
|
||||
"points": [[0,0],[200,0]], "endArrowhead": "arrow" }
|
||||
```
|
||||
- `points`: `[dx, dy]` offsets from element `x`, `y`
|
||||
- `endArrowhead`: `null` | `"arrow"` | `"bar"` | `"dot"` | `"triangle"`
|
||||
- `strokeStyle`: `"solid"` (default) | `"dashed"` | `"dotted"`
|
||||
|
||||
### Arrow Bindings (connect arrows to shapes)
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "arrow", "id": "a1", "x": 300, "y": 150, "width": 150, "height": 0,
|
||||
"points": [[0,0],[150,0]], "endArrowhead": "arrow",
|
||||
"startBinding": { "elementId": "r1", "fixedPoint": [1, 0.5] },
|
||||
"endBinding": { "elementId": "r2", "fixedPoint": [0, 0.5] }
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`fixedPoint` coordinates: `top=[0.5,0]`, `bottom=[0.5,1]`, `left=[0,0.5]`, `right=[1,0.5]`
|
||||
|
||||
### Drawing Order (z-order)
|
||||
- Array order = z-order (first = back, last = front)
|
||||
- Emit progressively: background zones → shape → its bound text → its arrows → next shape
|
||||
- BAD: all rectangles, then all texts, then all arrows
|
||||
- GOOD: bg_zone → shape1 → text_for_shape1 → arrow1 → arrow_label_text → shape2 → text_for_shape2 → ...
|
||||
- Always place the bound text element immediately after its container shape
|
||||
|
||||
### Sizing Guidelines
|
||||
|
||||
**Font sizes:**
|
||||
- Minimum `fontSize`: **16** for body text, labels, descriptions
|
||||
- Minimum `fontSize`: **20** for titles and headings
|
||||
- Minimum `fontSize`: **14** for secondary annotations only (sparingly)
|
||||
- NEVER use `fontSize` below 14
|
||||
|
||||
**Element sizes:**
|
||||
- Minimum shape size: 120x60 for labeled rectangles/ellipses
|
||||
- Leave 20-30px gaps between elements minimum
|
||||
- Prefer fewer, larger elements over many tiny ones
|
||||
|
||||
### Color Palette
|
||||
|
||||
See `references/colors.md` for full color tables. Quick reference:
|
||||
|
||||
| Use | Fill Color | Hex |
|
||||
|-----|-----------|-----|
|
||||
| Primary / Input | Light Blue | `#a5d8ff` |
|
||||
| Success / Output | Light Green | `#b2f2bb` |
|
||||
| Warning / External | Light Orange | `#ffd8a8` |
|
||||
| Processing / Special | Light Purple | `#d0bfff` |
|
||||
| Error / Critical | Light Red | `#ffc9c9` |
|
||||
| Notes / Decisions | Light Yellow | `#fff3bf` |
|
||||
| Storage / Data | Light Teal | `#c3fae8` |
|
||||
|
||||
### Tips
|
||||
- Use the color palette consistently across the diagram
|
||||
- **Text contrast is CRITICAL** -- never use light gray on white backgrounds. Minimum text color on white: `#757575`
|
||||
- Do NOT use emoji in text -- they don't render in Excalidraw's font
|
||||
- For dark mode diagrams, see `references/dark-mode.md`
|
||||
- For larger examples, see `references/examples.md`

# Excalidraw Color Palette
|
||||
|
||||
Use these colors consistently across diagrams.
|
||||
|
||||
## Primary Colors (for strokes, arrows, and accents)
|
||||
|
||||
| Name | Hex | Use |
|
||||
|------|-----|-----|
|
||||
| Blue | `#4a9eed` | Primary actions, links, data series 1 |
|
||||
| Amber | `#f59e0b` | Warnings, highlights, data series 2 |
|
||||
| Green | `#22c55e` | Success, positive, data series 3 |
|
||||
| Red | `#ef4444` | Errors, negative, data series 4 |
|
||||
| Purple | `#8b5cf6` | Accents, special items, data series 5 |
|
||||
| Pink | `#ec4899` | Decorative, data series 6 |
|
||||
| Cyan | `#06b6d4` | Info, secondary, data series 7 |
|
||||
| Lime | `#84cc16` | Extra, data series 8 |
|
||||
|
||||
## Pastel Fills (for shape backgrounds)
|
||||
|
||||
| Color | Hex | Good For |
|
||||
|-------|-----|----------|
|
||||
| Light Blue | `#a5d8ff` | Input, sources, primary nodes |
|
||||
| Light Green | `#b2f2bb` | Success, output, completed |
|
||||
| Light Orange | `#ffd8a8` | Warning, pending, external |
|
||||
| Light Purple | `#d0bfff` | Processing, middleware, special |
|
||||
| Light Red | `#ffc9c9` | Error, critical, alerts |
|
||||
| Light Yellow | `#fff3bf` | Notes, decisions, planning |
|
||||
| Light Teal | `#c3fae8` | Storage, data, memory |
|
||||
| Light Pink | `#eebefa` | Analytics, metrics |
|
||||
|
||||
## Background Zones (use with opacity: 30-35 for layered diagrams)
|
||||
|
||||
| Color | Hex | Good For |
|
||||
|-------|-----|----------|
|
||||
| Blue zone | `#dbe4ff` | UI / frontend layer |
|
||||
| Purple zone | `#e5dbff` | Logic / agent layer |
|
||||
| Green zone | `#d3f9d8` | Data / tool layer |
|
||||
|
||||
## Text Contrast Rules
|
||||
|
||||
- **On white backgrounds**: minimum text color is `#757575`. Default `#1e1e1e` is best.
|
||||
- **Colored text on light fills**: use dark variants (`#15803d` not `#22c55e`, `#2563eb` not `#4a9eed`)
|
||||
- **White text**: only on dark backgrounds (`#9a5030` not `#c4795b`)
|
||||
- **Never**: light gray (`#b0b0b0`, `#999`) on white -- unreadable

# Excalidraw Dark Mode Diagrams
|
||||
|
||||
To create a dark-themed diagram, use a massive dark background rectangle as the **first element** in the array. Make it large enough to cover any viewport:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "rectangle", "id": "darkbg",
|
||||
"x": -4000, "y": -3000, "width": 10000, "height": 7500,
|
||||
"backgroundColor": "#1e1e2e", "fillStyle": "solid",
|
||||
"strokeColor": "transparent", "strokeWidth": 0
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then use the following color palettes for elements on the dark background.
|
||||
|
||||
## Text Colors (on dark)
|
||||
|
||||
| Color | Hex | Use |
|
||||
|-------|-----|-----|
|
||||
| White | `#e5e5e5` | Primary text, titles |
|
||||
| Muted | `#a0a0a0` | Secondary text, annotations |
|
||||
| NEVER | `#555` or darker | Invisible on dark bg! |
|
||||
|
||||
## Shape Fills (on dark)
|
||||
|
||||
| Color | Hex | Good For |
|
||||
|-------|-----|----------|
|
||||
| Dark Blue | `#1e3a5f` | Primary nodes |
|
||||
| Dark Green | `#1a4d2e` | Success, output |
|
||||
| Dark Purple | `#2d1b69` | Processing, special |
|
||||
| Dark Orange | `#5c3d1a` | Warning, pending |
|
||||
| Dark Red | `#5c1a1a` | Error, critical |
|
||||
| Dark Teal | `#1a4d4d` | Storage, data |
|
||||
|
||||
## Stroke and Arrow Colors (on dark)
|
||||
|
||||
Use the standard Primary Colors from the main color palette -- they're bright enough on dark backgrounds:
|
||||
- Blue `#4a9eed`, Amber `#f59e0b`, Green `#22c55e`, Red `#ef4444`, Purple `#8b5cf6`
|
||||
|
||||
For subtle shape borders, use `#555555`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Example: Dark mode labeled rectangle
|
||||
|
||||
Use container binding (NOT the `"label"` property, which doesn't work). On dark backgrounds, set text `strokeColor` to `"#e5e5e5"` so it's visible:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
[
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "rectangle", "id": "r1",
|
||||
"x": 100, "y": 100, "width": 200, "height": 80,
|
||||
"backgroundColor": "#1e3a5f", "fillStyle": "solid",
|
||||
"strokeColor": "#4a9eed", "strokeWidth": 2,
|
||||
"roundness": { "type": 3 },
|
||||
"boundElements": [{ "id": "t_r1", "type": "text" }]
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "text", "id": "t_r1",
|
||||
"x": 105, "y": 120, "width": 190, "height": 25,
|
||||
"text": "Dark Node", "fontSize": 20, "fontFamily": 1,
|
||||
"strokeColor": "#e5e5e5",
|
||||
"textAlign": "center", "verticalAlign": "middle",
|
||||
"containerId": "r1", "originalText": "Dark Node", "autoResize": true
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Note: For standalone text elements on dark backgrounds, always set `"strokeColor": "#e5e5e5"` explicitly. The default `#1e1e1e` is invisible on dark.

# Excalidraw Diagram Examples
|
||||
|
||||
Complete, copy-pasteable examples. Wrap each in the `.excalidraw` envelope before saving:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "excalidraw",
|
||||
"version": 2,

"appState": { "viewBackgroundColor": "#ffffff" }
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> **IMPORTANT:** All text labels on shapes and arrows use container binding (`containerId` + `boundElements`).
|
||||
> Do NOT use the non-existent `"label"` property -- it will be silently ignored, producing blank shapes.

## Common Mistakes to Avoid
|
||||
|
||||
- **Do NOT use `"label"` property** -- this is the #1 mistake. It is NOT part of the Excalidraw file format and will be silently ignored, producing blank shapes with no visible text. Always use container binding (`containerId` + `boundElements`) as shown in the examples above.
|
||||
- **Every bound text needs both sides linked** -- the shape needs `boundElements: [{"id": "t_xxx", "type": "text"}]` AND the text needs `containerId: "shape_id"`. If either is missing, the binding won't work.
|
||||
- **Include `originalText` and `autoResize: true`** on all text elements -- Excalidraw uses these for proper text reflow.
|
||||
- **Include `fontFamily: 1`** on all text elements -- without it, text may not render with the expected hand-drawn font.
|
||||
- **Elements overlap when y-coordinates are close** -- always check that text, boxes, and labels don't stack on top of each other
|
||||
- **Arrow labels need space** -- long labels like "ATP + NADPH" overflow short arrows. Keep labels short or make arrows wider
|
||||
- **Center titles relative to the diagram** -- estimate total width and center the title text over it
|
||||
- **Draw decorations LAST** -- cute illustrations (sun, stars, icons) should appear at the end of the array so they're drawn on top
