drawio-main — Capabilities
This file lists all capabilities an agent can use from this skill.
Capability 1 — Deterministic YAML generation
Build native .drawio XML from a validated semantic Diagram IR:
node dist/cli/commands.js --action build --file architecture.yaml --output architecture.drawio
IR v1 remains compatible. IR v2 adds multiple pages, containers and semantic kinds, explicit geometry, waypoints, provenance/properties/extensions, and linear, layered, tree, grid, or manual layout. Dependency-aware placement and obstacle-aware orthogonal routing are deterministic. The builder rejects reserved/duplicate IDs, unknown parents/endpoints, malformed geometry, and unsupported versions before writing output. See schemas/diagram-ir-v2.schema.json and examples/platform-v2.yaml.
Capability 2 — Direct XML generation
Create .drawio files (and optionally export to PNG/SVG/PDF) from a description or requirements.
See SKILL.md for the generation workflow, XML format, page sizes, element shapes, and well-formedness rules. See rules-layout.md for mandatory connector and layout rules.
Capability 3 — Diagram analysis (drawio-tools CLI)
A TypeScript / Node.js CLI tool for programmatic analysis of .drawio files.
Entry point: node dist/cli/commands.js (run from the skill's scripts/ directory), or task run -- --file=… --action=….
Usage
cd <skill>/scripts
node dist/cli/commands.js --file <path> --action <action> [--page <index>] [--output <path>]
# short flags: -f, -a, -p, -o, -h
--page selects the diagram tab (0-based, default 0). Ignored by summary (processes all pages).
Always prints YAML to stdout. Exit code 0 on success, 1 on error.
Actions
Authoring
| Action | Scope | Description |
|---|---|---|
build |
YAML Diagram IR | Validate and convert a YAML specification to native .drawio; requires --output |
Inventory
| Action | Scope | Description |
|---|---|---|
summary |
All pages | Full inventory of shapes + edges for every page/tab |
page-summary |
Single page (--page) |
Full inventory of shapes + edges for one page |
page-hierarchy |
Page 0 | Recursive containment tree with totalLevels (nesting depth count) |
page-hierarchy-full |
Page 0 | Same as page-hierarchy + full geometry (x, y, width, height) per shape at each nesting level |
page-connectors-summary |
Page 0 | Per-connector details: type, label, waypoints, source/target names |
Validation
| Action | Scope | Description |
|---|---|---|
validate |
All pages | Mandatory final gate — XML well-formedness + maxGraph compile + sanity check (vertices/edges > 0). Run before finishing any diagram work |
quality |
All pages | Objective clipping, overflow, placeholder, external-asset, palette, page-density, and edge-density checks with explicit severity |
page-connectors-validation |
Page 0 | Connector-shape overlaps + connector crossings |
page-labels-validation |
Page 0 | Empty labels, duplicate labels, labels > 80 chars |
page-shape-bbox-validation |
Page 0 | Non-containment bounding box overlaps between shapes |
page-orphans |
Page 0 | Isolated shapes (no edges) + dangling connectors (missing endpoints) |
Layout
| Action | Scope | Description |
|---|---|---|
page-recommendations |
Page 0 | Smallest standard page size (A4→A3→A2→A1→custom) that fits content with 80 px margin |
