excalidraw-use
An agent skill by daymade, from daymade/claude-code-skills. Tags: assets, design, desktop, diagrams, visual-art.
What it does
Place existing images onto an Excalidraw whiteboard, turn a slide deck into clean per-slide images first, and inspect what is inside a .excalidraw file. Use whenever someone mentions Excalidraw, a whiteboard or canvas, a .excalidraw file, 白板 or 画板 — especially "put these screenshots on my board", "add my old workshop images to the canvas", "space them out so I don't have to adjust spacing by hand", "turn these slides into images I can draw on", or "what's in this scene file". Also use when a talk or workshop is delivered by hand-drawing over screenshots on a shared canvas, or when someone needs a pick tray of many images to choose from. Not for generating a diagram from a text description — that is a different job.
