draw-io（绘制 io）

draw.io Diagram Skill

1. Basic Rules

• Edit only .drawio files
• Do not directly edit .drawio.png files
• Use auto-generated .drawio.png by pre-commit hook in slides

2. Font Settings

For diagrams used in Quarto slides, specify defaultFontFamily in mxGraphModel tag:

<mxGraphModel defaultFontFamily="Noto Sans JP" ...>

Also explicitly specify fontFamily in each text element's style attribute:

style="text;html=1;fontSize=27;fontFamily=Noto Sans JP;"

3. Conversion Commands

See conversion script at scripts/convert-drawio-to-png.sh.

# Convert all .drawio files
mise exec -- pre-commit run --all-files

# Convert specific .drawio file
mise exec -- pre-commit run convert-drawio-to-png --files assets/my-diagram.drawio

# Run script directly (using skill's script)
bash ~/.claude/skills/draw-io/scripts/convert-drawio-to-png.sh assets/diagram1.drawio

NOTE: For draw.io CLI flags and export options, see the drawio-skills skill.

4. Layout Adjustment

• Open .drawio in text editor; find mxCell by value attribute
• Adjust mxGeometry: x (left), y (top), width, height
• Element center = y + (height / 2); match centers to align elements

5. Color Palette and Layout Patterns

Auto-updatable reference files (see Section 10 for update protocol):

• Color Palette - Material Design colors and usage rules
• Layout Guidelines - Pattern catalog (A-K) and AWS layout rules

6. Design Principles

6.1. Slide Diagram Constraints (1920x1080)

• YOU MUST: Set page="0" (transparent background)
• YOU MUST: Use fontFamily=Noto Sans JP for all text
• YOU MUST: Limit to 1-3 accent colors per diagram
• YOU MUST: Include a takeaway bar at the bottom (Note or Primary color)

6.2. Core Principles

• Clarity, consistency, accuracy
• Label all elements; use arrows for direction (prefer unidirectional)
• One concept per diagram; split complex systems into staged diagrams
• Ensure color contrast; use patterns in addition to colors

6.3. Related Diagram Set Consistency

• YOU MUST: Use identical canvas width, colors, fonts, stroke width across related diagrams
• Define diagram set specification before creating any diagram
• Verify side-by-side after completion

7. Best Practices

7.1. General

• Remove background="#ffffff" (transparent adapts to themes)
• Font size: 1.5x standard (~18px) for readability
• Japanese text: allow 30-40px per character width
• Canvas size: 800px or less for Zenn articles, 1920x1080 for slides
• Scale canvas proportionally when increasing font size

7.2. Arrows

• Structural arrows (flowcharts, ER): place in XML right after Title (back layer)
• Badge-associated arrows (navigation): place last in XML (top layer)
• Keep arrow start/end at least 20px from label bottom edge
• For text elements, use explicit sourcePoint/targetPoint (exitX/exitY don't work)
• Edge label offset: <mxPoint x="0" y="-40" as="offset"/> (negative = above)
• Bidirectional: set startArrow=classic;endArrow=classic;startFill=1;endFill=1
• Minimum 80-100px spacing to avoid arrowhead overlap (>< shape)
• Standardize arrow lengths within a diagram
• Edge labels: place <mxCell> at END of <root> with labelBackgroundColor=#ffffff

7.3. Containers and Spacing

• Internal elements: at least 30px margin from frame boundary
• Parent container label clearance: first child Y >= parent.y + spacingTop + fontSize + 10 (for fontSize >= 24px, use fontSize * 1.5)
• Label padding: add spacingLeft=8;spacingTop=8 to box styles
• Maintain vertical symmetry in containers (top margin = bottom margin)
• Align elements on container's horizontal centerline

7.4. Labels

• Service name only: 1 line; with supplementary info: 2 lines using <br>
• Remove redundant notation (e.g., "ECR Container Registry" -> "ECR")
• Remove decorative icons irrelevant to context

7.5. Z-Order (XML document order = render order)

8. Reference

• Color Palette - auto-updatable
• Layout Guidelines - auto-updatable
• AWS Icons
• AWS Icon Search Script

python ~/.claude/skills/draw-io/scripts/find_aws_icon.py ec2

9. Workflow and Checklist

9.1. Phase 0: Design

• One concept per diagram
• Reference images viewed and understood
• Diagram set spec defined (canvas size, colors, fonts, stroke width)

9.2. Phase 1: Layout Calculation

• Parent container sizes calculated
• Child element clearance calculated (see 7.3)
• Symmetric placement coordinates calculated
• Arrow z-order determined (see 7.5)

9.3. Phase 2: Implementation

• page="0" set (transparent background)
• Font size appropriate; canvas scaled proportionally
• Canvas matches target display width
• Arrows in correct z-order
• Label padding set (spacingLeft/spacingTop)
• AWS icons latest version (mxgraph.aws4.*)

9.4. Phase 3: Verification (PNG Review)

Convert and visually verify with Read tool:

drawio -x -f png -s 2 -t -o output.drawio.png input.drawio

• NEVER claim "no issues" based solely on XML; ALWAYS verify PNG visually
• If unable to view reference images, report honestly

Verify:

• Elements not overflowing frames (30px+ margin)
• Arrows not overlapping labels or penetrating boxes
• Bidirectional arrows appear as <--> not ><
• Text not truncated or cut off
• Uniform arrow lengths
• Symmetric badge/arrow placement
• Parent label and child elements not intersecting
• Edge labels visible (at END of <root>)
• Diagram set consistency (side-by-side)

If issues found, fix XML and repeat from conversion step.

10. Self-Update Protocol

Auto-updatable files that evolve as new .drawio files are created:

Trigger after creating/editing .drawio files:

1. Parse style attributes from all mxCell elements
2. Detect new colors -> add to color-palette.md with semantic role
3. Detect new layout patterns -> add to layout-guidelines.md
4. Detect new best practices or checklist items -> append to SKILL.md
5. Update metadata (last updated, source files)

11. Image Display in reveal.js Slides

Add auto-stretch: false to YAML header for correct image display on mobile:

format:
  revealjs:
    auto-stretch: false
