Why it’s interesting
A Codex skill for creating polished hand-drawn architecture diagrams with animated GIF and editable Excalidraw output.
System diagrams stop being frozen boxes. Motion can reveal sequence and data flow, while the hand-drawn style keeps complex architecture approachable.
How to try it
Inspect the GitHub README, screenshots, and animated examples. To generate your own diagram, follow local setup instructions and verify every component and connection against the real system.
Use the official page or demonstration as the current reference. Do not assume that a staged installation, limited experiment, account-gated demo, subscription feature, or physical product is available everywhere.
