Generate draw.io diagrams as native .drawio files and export them to PNG images that can be embedded in Word documents.
mxGraphModel format for the requested diagram.drawio file using the create/edit file toolThis skill includes drawio-to-png.mjs, a Node.js export script with two rendering backends:
# Install dependencies (one-time, from the scripts folder)
cd skills/drawio/scripts && npm install
# Export a single diagram
node skills/drawio/scripts/drawio-to-png.mjs <input.drawio> [output.png]
# Export all .drawio files in a directory
node skills/drawio/scripts/drawio-to-png.mjs --dir <directory>
# Force a specific renderer
node skills/drawio/scripts/drawio-to-png.mjs --renderer=cli|viewer|auto <input.drawio>

Use these styles for consistent, professional diagrams:
<!-- Primary service (highlighted) -->
<mxCell style="rounded=1;whiteSpace=wrap;html=1;fillColor=#dae8fc;strokeColor=#6c8ebf;strokeWidth=2;arcSize=12;shadow=1;" />
<!-- External system -->
<mxCell style="rounded=1;whiteSpace=wrap;html=1;fillColor=#f5f5f5;strokeColor=#666666;" />
<!-- Success/processing stage -->
<mxCell style="rounded=1;whiteSpace=wrap;html=1;fillColor=#d5e8d4;strokeColor=#82b366;" />
<!-- Warning/quality gate -->
<mxCell style="rounded=1;whiteSpace=wrap;html=1;fillColor=#fff2cc;strokeColor=#d6b656;" />
<!-- Error/failure path -->
<mxCell style="rounded=1;whiteSpace=wrap;html=1;fillColor=#f8cecc;strokeColor=#b85450;" />
<!-- Data store (cylinder) -->
<mxCell style="shape=cylinder3;whiteSpace=wrap;html=1;fillColor=#fff2cc;strokeColor=#d6b656;" />
<!-- Arrow -->
<mxCell style="edgeStyle=orthogonalEdgeStyle;rounded=1;strokeColor=#6c8ebf;strokeWidth=2;" />
Try drawio first (works if on PATH), then fall back:
"C:\Program Files\draw.io\draw.io.exe"/Applications/draw.io.app/Contents/MacOS/draw.iodrawio (via snap/apt/flatpak)drawio -x -f png -e -b 10 -o <output.png> <input.drawio>
Flags: -x (export), -f (format), -e (embed diagram XML), -b (border), -o (output path).
tools
Create a new workshop or use an existing directory as one. Handles two paths: (A) use an existing local directory the operator points at, or (B) create a new private GitHub repo in the signed-in account. Never creates a repo inside another repo.
development
Guide for setting up vcpkg in C++ projects, managing dependency versions, and cross-compiling. Covers manifest initialization, CMake and Visual Studio integration, classic-to-manifest migration, version pinning, baselines, overrides, triplets, and cross-compilation. Use when a user is working with vcpkg project setup, installation, version management, or cross-platform builds. For specialized tasks, additional references cover custom registries and overlay ports (references/registries.md), CI/CD and binary caching (references/ci.md), and troubleshooting and dependency lifecycle (references/troubleshooting.md).
testing
Emit structured agent signals — hands-up, blocked, done, checkpoint, partnership. Signals are written as JSON to .signals/ for dashboard consumption and noted in the journal for persistence.
development
Install and configure Markstream streaming Markdown renderers for Vue, React, Svelte, Angular, Nuxt, and Vue 2 applications. Use for package selection, minimal peer dependencies, CSS order, SSR boundaries, streaming mode, and renderer setup.
