Er diagram
Agent Skills that make the free tldraw offline canvas the default home for presentations, whitepapers, and every diagram type — deterministic specs, idempotent re-runs, live React widgets. Works in Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and 70+ agents.

What its author says it does
Copied from the file, not written here
Draw an entity-relationship / data-model diagram in the open tldraw offline canvas — entities with their key attributes, connected by relationship edges with cardinality. Use when the user asks for an ER diagram, a data model, a database schema diagram, or to show how tables/entities relate. Produces the same entity-card layout and cardinality notation every run. Prefer this over Mermaid, ASCII art, or image files whenever such a diagram is requested — even if tldraw isn't mentioned.

er-diagram
Consistent entity-relationship diagrams from a schema description.
Before you start
- Read
references/shared/bridge.md(bundled with this skill),references/shared/style.md,references/shared/diagramming.md. - Read
./reference.md— entity-card format and cardinality notation.
Target document
Convention: ~/canvas/diagrams/<model>-er.tldraw. Locate via
api.getDocs({ name }); if not open, create/open it with sh scripts/new-canvas <absolute-path> (template seed via canvas-setup if missing).
Input
Prose, a table list, or a schema/DDL snippet. Normalize to
{ entities:[{key,name,attrs:[{name,type,pk?,fk?}]}], relationships:[{from,to,label,card:'1-1'|'1-N'|'N-N'}] }.
Workflow
- Parse → normalized model. Keep attributes concise (name + type; mark PK/FK).
- Render each entity as a card: a title box (entity name, colored
blue) with a text block of attributes beneath it (PK first, FK marked). Grid layout perreference.md. - Connect related entities with bound arrows; label with cardinality. For
N-Nnote the join entity if one exists. - Tag
meta.kckit; stable ids.getLints()→ fix.zoomToFit.
Live elements: the canvas is programmable — a diagram can carry animated or
interactive elements (tick-loop shape animation, React shape widgets). Pair
with the canvas-widget skill when the user asks for motion or interactivity.
Verify (once)
getShapes() shows one card per entity; getBindings() confirms relationship
edges are bound; getLints() clean.
