# Draw.io Diagrams ## Overview Generate `.drawio` XML files and export to PNG/SVG/PDF/JPG locally using the native draw.io desktop app CLI. **Supported formats:** PNG, SVG, PDF, JPG — no browser automation needed. PNG, SVG, and PDF exports support `--embed-diagram` (`-e`) — the exported file contains the full diagram XML, so opening it in draw.io recovers the editable diagram. Use double extensions (`name.drawio.png`) to signal embedded XML. ## When to use / when NOT to use **Use this skill for:** polished, precise diagrams (architecture, network, strict UML, ERD), anything needing solid opaque fills, 10,000+ stock/branded shapes, swimlanes, or custom geometry, exported as editable PNG/SVG/PDF. **Do NOT use it — route elsewhere — for:** - A casual hand-drawn / whiteboard look → **excalidraw** or **tldraw**. - Diagrams-as-code that live in git / render in Markdown → **mermaid** (general) or **plantuml** (UML). - Freeform infinite-canvas sketching or freehand strokes → **tldraw**. ## Bundled resources When the workflow references one of these, read it on demand — none of them need to be in context up front. | File | Read it when | | --- | --- | | `references/toolbox.md` | You're **not sure which bundled script fits** a request, or want to chain several — a map of all 31 scripts grouped by use-case (author / import code / import IaC / import API spec / live infra / compare / annotate / reverse-export / utilities) with an "I have X, I want Y → use Z" guide | | `referen...
