I like using Excalidraw for diagrams, especially the hand-drawn style. But I don’t like starting from a blank canvas. I usually spend 10–15 minutes placing boxes and arrows before I even get to the actual thinking.
I tried some existing Excalidraw MCP/agent skills, but they didn’t work well for me. No image export, no animation, and the style didn’t match what I wanted.
So I built a small agent skill for my workflow.
It generates a hand-drawn diagram, an animated version, and opens it in a hosted Excalidraw (GitHub Pages) where I can edit it further.
I still tweak things manually, but this gives me a starting point instantly.
