Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned softaworks/agent-toolkit at 3027f20f31.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to generate and interact with Excalidraw diagrams, allowing them to create hand-drawn style sketches directly within chat interfaces. It supports rendering various diagram types including flowcharts, UML diagrams, and freehand drawings based on natural language descriptions.

When to use it

  • Visualizing complex system architectures or data flow processes during a brainstorming session.
  • Creating quick UML class diagrams or sequence charts to clarify software design requirements.
  • Sketching whiteboard-style meeting notes or mind maps to organize unstructured ideas.

Key capabilities

  • Generates hand-drawn style illustrations automatically from text prompts.
  • Supports multiple diagram types including flowcharts, entity-relationship models, and org charts.
  • Renders diagrams directly in the chat interface without requiring external file uploads.
  • Allows for iterative refinement of visual concepts through conversational feedback.

Example prompts

  • "Create a flowchart showing the user authentication process for a mobile app."
  • "Draw a simple mind map outlining key features for a project management tool."
  • "Sketch a UML sequence diagram illustrating how a customer places an order on an e-commerce site."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your prompts are descriptive enough to convey the desired structure, as the AI interprets text into visual layouts. While the hand-drawn aesthetic is unique for quick conceptualization, it may not be suitable for final production-grade documentation requiring precise vector graphics.
