Install
Copy this and paste it into Claude Code, Cursor, or any AI assistant:
I want to install the "drawio-skill" skill in my project. Please run this command in my terminal: # Install skill into your project mkdir -p .claude/skills/drawio-skill && curl --retry 3 --retry-delay 2 --retry-all-errors -o .claude/skills/drawio-skill/SKILL.md "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Agents365-ai/drawio-skill/main/SKILL.md" Then restart Claude Code (or reload the window in Cursor) so the skill is picked up.
Description
Use when user requests diagrams, flowcharts, architecture charts, or visualizations. Also use proactively when explaining systems with 3+ components, complex data flows, or relationships that benefit from visual representation. Generates .drawio XML files and exports to PNG/SVG/PDF locally using the native draw.io desktop CLI.
Overview
Generate .drawio XML files and export to PNG/SVG/PDF/JPG locally using the native draw.io desktop app CLI. Supported formats: PNG, SVG, PDF, JPG — no browser automation needed. PNG, SVG, and PDF exports support --embed-diagram (-e) — the exported file contains the full diagram XML, so opening it in draw.io recovers the editable diagram. Use double extensions (name.drawio.png) to signal embedded XML.
Prerequisites
The draw.io desktop app must be installed and the CLI accessible: `bash
When to Use
Explicit triggers: user says "diagram", "visualize", "flowchart", "draw", "architecture diagram", "process flow", "ER diagram", "UML", "sequence diagram", "class diagram", "neural network", "model architecture" Proactive triggers: • Explaining a system with 3+ interacting components • Describing a multi-step process or decision tree • Comparing architectures or approaches side by side Skip when: a simple list or table suffices, or user is in a quick Q&A flow
macOS (Homebrew — recommended)
brew install --cask drawio draw.io --version
