Generate draw.io diagrams as .drawio files and export to PNG/SVG/PDF with embedded XML
Generate draw.io diagrams as native .drawio files and export them to PNG images that can be embedded in Word documents.
mxGraphModel format for the requested diagram.drawio file using the create/edit file toolThis skill includes drawio-to-png.mjs, a Node.js export script with two rendering backends:
# Install dependencies (one-time, from the scripts folder)
cd skills/drawio/scripts && npm install
# Export a single diagram
node skills/drawio/scripts/drawio-to-png.mjs <input.drawio> [output.png]
# Export all .drawio files in a directory
node skills/drawio/scripts/drawio-to-png.mjs --dir <directory>
# Force a specific renderer
node skills/drawio/scripts/drawio-to-png.mjs --renderer=cli|viewer|auto <input.drawio>

Use these styles for consistent, professional diagrams:
<!-- Primary service (highlighted) -->
<mxCell style="rounded=1;whiteSpace=wrap;html=1;fillColor=#dae8fc;strokeColor=#6c8ebf;strokeWidth=2;arcSize=12;shadow=1;" />
<!-- External system -->
<mxCell style="rounded=1;whiteSpace=wrap;html=1;fillColor=#f5f5f5;strokeColor=#666666;" />
<!-- Success/processing stage -->
<mxCell style="rounded=1;whiteSpace=wrap;html=1;fillColor=#d5e8d4;strokeColor=#82b366;" />
<!-- Warning/quality gate -->

<!-- Error/failure path -->
<mxCell style="rounded=1;whiteSpace=wrap;html=1;fillColor=#f8cecc;strokeColor=#b85450;" />
<!-- Data store (cylinder) -->
<mxCell style="shape=cylinder3;whiteSpace=wrap;html=1;fillColor=#fff2cc;strokeColor=#d6b656;" />
<!-- Arrow -->

Try drawio first (works if on PATH), then fall back:
"C:\Program Files\draw.io\draw.io.exe"/Applications/draw.io.app/Contents/MacOS/draw.iodrawio (via snap/apt/flatpak)drawio -x -f png -e -b 10 -o <output.png> <input.drawio>
Flags: -x (export), -f (format), -e (embed diagram XML), -b (border), -o (output path).
