Why we included this project

If you live in Obsidian and already work with Claude Code, this pack is a quick way to get diagrams out of plain text: hand-drawn-style Excalidraw files, Mermaid charts, and Obsidian Canvas documents. The skills are plain markdown files that Claude loads on demand, so there is no server setup to wrestle with; you drop them into the skills directory and ask for a flowchart, mind map, or sequence diagram in natural language. The Excalidraw skill is the most polished of the three, with separate Obsidian, standard, and animated output modes plus Chinese text support, and the Mermaid skill includes syntax-error prevention for common mistakes. The author calls it experimental and warns that output quality shifts with the model and input, so treat it as a capable starting point rather than a finished product.
