Skill-guided output swapped generic black-on-white boxes for a full brand system in one pass: roughness-2 dotted rectangles, solid roughness-1 arrows, Virgil font, periwinkle #8182C1 accents, and semantic stroke colors per node type (agent vs. process vs. success) — the baseline JSON had none of that structure.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

What Excalidraw Diagram does
Produces Excalidraw diagram JSON files for architecture maps, agent pipelines, and client deliverables, enforcing a specific sketchy/dotted visual language (roughness, Virgil font, periwinkle accent, semantic node colors) instead of default flowchart output. Triggers on 'draw a diagram', 'make an excalidraw', 'visualize this system', 'map this architecture'.
