About this skill
Core principle: Main agents NEVER read Excalidraw files directly. Always delegate to subagents to isolate context consumption. Excalidraw files are JSON with high token cost but low information density. Single files range from 4k-22k tokens (largest can exceed read tool limits). Reading multiple diagrams quickly exhausts context budget (7 files = 67k tokens = 33% of budget). Excalidraw JSON structure: Example: 14-element diagram = 596 lines, 16K, ~4k tokens. 79-element diagram = 2,916 lines, 88K, ~22k tokens (exceeds read limit). Trigger on ANY of these: Use delegation even for: NEVER: ALWAYS: Catch yourself about to: All of these mean: Use Task tool with subagent instead.
