# AWS DrawIO Diagram Generator Generates professional DrawIO XML diagrams for Amazon Web Services architectures. ## Capabilities 1. **Extract** - Analyze existing DrawIO XML files to identify AWS shapes, connections, and structure 2. **Identify** - Recognize AWS service icons from architecture diagram images 3. **Generate** - Create valid DrawIO XML from images or text descriptions 4. **Convert** - Transform AWS architecture diagrams into editable DrawIO format ## Quick Reference ### AWS Shape Patterns There are two icon types. Use **service icons** when labeling the AWS service itself, and **instance icons** when representing a specific resource. **Service icon** (colored square background) — for labeling the service: ``` shape=mxgraph.aws4.resourceIcon;resIcon=mxgraph.aws4.{shape_name} ``` **Instance icon** (bare icon, no background) — for specific resources: ``` shape=mxgraph.aws4.{shape_name};fillColor={category_color} ``` > **CRITICAL:** Always keep `fillColor` set to the category color. Without it the icon renders white/invisible. The only difference from a service icon is the absence of the `resourceIcon` background square — never remove `fillColor` when using an instance ic

What does the generating-aws-diagrams skill do?
Generates DrawIO XML diagrams for Amazon Web Services architectures from text descriptions or images. Analyzes existing .drawio files to extract AWS components. Use for AWS architecture diagrams, cloud infrastructure documentation, or when converting AWS diagram images to editable DrawIO format.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add a5c-ai/babysitter --skill generating-aws-diagrams --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From a5c-ai/babysitter, a repository with 1,642 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
