What it does
A pack of three skills for visualizing notes. The first builds hand-drawn Excalidraw diagrams: flowcharts, mind maps, hierarchies, comparisons, timelines and matrices, as Obsidian files, standard files or with animation order. The second produces Mermaid diagrams with guards against common syntax errors: processes, cycles, sequences, states and comparisons. The third creates Obsidian Canvas files as radial mind maps or freeform layouts with sized, color-coded cards.
Who it is for. For Obsidian users, teachers and writers who need to turn text into diagrams quickly.
Good fit when
- You need to turn an article or notes into a mind map
- You need a process flowchart for docs or slides
- You need a sequence diagram of API calls
Not a fit when
- You need precise technical drawings or strict architecture diagrams
- You do not use Obsidian, Excalidraw or Mermaid
Example request
Turn this article into an Obsidian Canvas mind mapLimitations
The author marks it experimental with limited maintenance; quality depends on the model and input structure. Excalidraw in Obsidian needs the Excalidraw plugin. The handwriting font covers Latin only, so other scripts may render in a regular font.
How to disable. Remove the plugin via /plugin or delete the excalidraw-diagram, mermaid-visualizer and obsidian-canvas-creator folders from ~/.claude/skills.
FAQ
Can I install just one skill?
Yes, with manual install copy only the folder you need to ~/.claude/skills.
How do I open Excalidraw output without Obsidian?
Use standard mode to get an .excalidraw file that opens on excalidraw.com.

README in short
The README shows sample outputs and openly flags experimental status. For each of the three skills it lists diagram types, output modes and trigger words. Install via the Claude Code plugin marketplace or by copying folders. A troubleshooting section covers the handwriting font issue for non-Latin text.
