What it does
Lanshu Animated Architecture Diagram draws architecture diagrams for an agent: a JSON spec produces an `.excalidraw` file for editing, a static `.png` and an animated `.gif`. It suits articles, system descriptions and processes. The renderer is Pillow, and the style is hand-drawn. Installation: clone the repository and `python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt`, and Python 3.9 or newer is needed. The skill was written for Codex. MIT license.
Who it is for. For developers and article authors who need clear animated system diagrams without drawing by hand.
Good fit when
- You need an animated architecture diagram for an article or presentation
- You need an Excalidraw file you can adjust by hand
- You need a process diagram from a JSON description
Not a fit when
- You need a diagram editor with a window: the skill works through a spec
- You need strict UML diagrams: the style here is hand-drawn
