Why It Is Here

This project is more than a prompt-style skill: it includes a draw.io XML quality standard, examples, validator rules, and a CLI. That makes it useful for keeping generated .drawio files production-ready instead of merely renderable.

Best For

Native draw.io diagrams that need manual editing later.
Diagrams requiring strict edge routing, font rules, containers, and layers.
Teams that want CI checks for generated diagram files.

Evaluation Notes

Strengths: validator-backed rules, native XML output, documented non-goals, useful example set.
Weaknesses: requires a draw.io rendering/export path for screenshots; full benefit depends on adopting the validator.
Open questions: whether this repository should vendor the upstream validator or only consume it as an external tool.
