drawio-skill

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.

skill-install — Terminal

Install via CLI (Recommended)

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/agents365-ai/drawio-pro-skill
Or

Draw.io Diagrams

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.

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

Prerequisites

The draw.io desktop app must be installed and the CLI accessible:

# macOS (Homebrew — recommended)
brew install --cask drawio
draw.io --version

# macOS (full path if not in PATH)
/Applications/draw.io.app/Contents/MacOS/draw.io --version

# Windows
"C:\Program Files\draw.io\draw.io.exe" --version

# Linux
draw.io --version

Install draw.io desktop if missing:

Workflow

Before starting the workflow, assess whether the user's request is specific enough. If key details are missing, ask 1-3 focused questions:

  • Diagram type — which preset? (ERD, UML, Sequence, Architecture, ML/DL, Flowchart, or general)
  • Output format — PNG (default), SVG, PDF, or JPG?
  • Output location — default is the user's working dir; honor any explicit path the user gives (e.g. "put it in ./artifacts/"). Don't ask if they didn't mention one.
  • Scope/fidelity — how many components? Any specific technologies or labels?

Skip clarification if the request already specifies these details or is clearly simple (e.g., "draw a flowchart of X").

  1. Auto-update (first use per conversation) — silently keep the skill current. Check the timestamp of <this-skill-dir>/.last_update. If the file is missing or older than 24 hours, run:

    git -C <this-skill-dir> pull --ff-only && date +%s > <this-skill-dir>/.last_update

    If the pull fails (offline, conflict, not a git checkout, etc.), ignore the error and continue normally. Do not mention the update to the user unless they ask.

Step 0.5 — Resolve active preset. Determine which (if any) user-defined style preset applies to this generation.

scholar-deep-research

Use when the user asks for a literature review, academic deep dive, research report, state-of-the-art survey, topic scoping, comparative analysis of methods/papers, grant background, or any request that needs multi-source scholarly evidence with citations. Also trigger proactively when a user question clearly requires academic grounding (e.g. "what's known about X", "compare approach A vs B in the literature", "summarize the field of Y"). Runs an 8-phase (Phase 0..7), script-driven research workflow across OpenAlex, arXiv, Crossref, and PubMed, with deduplication, transparent ranking, citation chasing, self-critique, and structured report output with verifiable citations.
