The methodology

Diagrams are arguments. The shape should BE the meaning.

Why this, not just another Excalidraw MCP?

Excalidraw's official MCP is an interactive MCP App: live canvas, streaming draw, remote host. That wins the in-chat surface.

This pack owns the visual-argument methodology: typed layouts, taste gate, audit_diagram, themes, and reproducible PNGs. Use both when you want hands on the official canvas and taste plus publishable output from here. Honest comparison →

Book-proven

This skill drew 77 diagrams for the published technical book From Copilot to Colleague. A curated set ships as source in examples/book; the full corpus is live on the book site.
