Excalidraw

Diagrams as editable notes — architecture and flow drawings that live in the vault.

Excalidraw embeds a hand-drawn-style whiteboard inside Obsidian, stored as a note rather than an exported image.

Why braynee uses it

The /braynee:excalidraw skill produces architecture and flow diagrams as part of vault knowledge. Because they're notes, they stay editable, versioned with everything else, and linkable from the pages they explain — not opaque PNGs.

How it's set up

Installed into .obsidian/plugins/ by /braynee:setup. The excalidraw skill drives it; you don't configure anything.
