excalidraw

SKILL.md

Core principle: Main agents NEVER read Excalidraw files directly. Always delegate to subagents to isolate context consumption.

Excalidraw files are JSON with high token cost but low information density. Single files range from 4k-22k tokens (largest can exceed read tool limits). Reading multiple diagrams quickly exhausts context budget (7 files = 67k tokens = 33% of budget).

Example: 14-element diagram = 596 lines, 16K, 4k tokens. 79-element diagram = 2,916 lines, 88K, 22k tokens (exceeds read limit).

Use when working with *.excalidraw or *.excalidraw.json files, user mentions diagrams/flowcharts, or requests architecture visualization - delegates all Excalidraw operations to subagents to prevent context exhaustion from verbose JSON (single files: 4k-22k tokens, can exceed read limits) Source: softaworks/agent-toolkit.
