coleam00-excalidraw-diagram-skill-all (skill slug excalidraw-diagram or similar) is a community skill for generating Excalidraw .excalidraw JSON diagrams from text descriptions. It encodes a detailed visual-argument methodology (isomorphism, evidence artifacts, multi-zoom, research mandate before drawing technical diagrams, render-validate loop, pattern library of fan-out/convergence/timelines, color semantics, container discipline, etc.). The skill is large and prescriptive about diagram construction process and quality gates.

Target agents from its original install (varies). Marked global-only / avoid in the curated catalog.

In the enrichment batch prompt this skill is flagged for “global-only or avoid” rationale summary. Upstream is a popular community contribution (coleam00/excalidraw-diagram-skill) with many stars and third-party mentions. Risks are typical of generative diagram tools (large JSON output, potential for incorrect technical content if research step is skipped, render pipeline dependencies). The curated catalog explicitly prefers github/awesome-copilot@excalidraw-diagram-generator over this bundle for the primary curated slot; remaining variants kept global-only to avoid duplication and bloat.
