drawio-logical-diagrams

Creates professional logical flow diagrams and logical system architecture diagrams using draw.io XML format (.drawio files). Use when creating: (1) logical flow diagrams showing data/process flow between system components, (2) logical architecture diagrams representing system structure without cloud provider specifics, (3) BPMN process diagrams, (4) UML diagrams (class, sequence, activity), (5) data flow diagrams (DFD), (6) decision flowcharts, or (7) system interaction diagrams. This skill focuses on generic/abstract representations, not AWS/Azure-specific architectures (use aws-drawio-architecture-diagrams for cloud diagrams).

Draw.io Logical Diagrams Creation

Overview

Create professional logical diagrams in draw.io's native XML format. This skill enables generation of production-ready .drawio files for logical flow diagrams, system architecture visualizations, and abstract process representations using generic shapes and symbols.

When to Use

Use this skill when:

Creating logical flow diagrams showing data flow between system components
Designing logical architecture diagrams (abstract system structure)
Building BPMN process diagrams for business processes
Drawing UML diagrams (class, sequence, activity, state)
Creating data flow diagrams (DFD) for system analysis
Making decision flowcharts with branching logic
Visualizing system interactions and sequences
Documenting logical system design without cloud specifics

Do NOT use for:

AWS/Azure/GCP architecture diagrams (use aws-drawio-architecture-diagrams)
Infrastructure-specific diagrams

Instructions

Creating a Logical Diagram

Analyze the request: Understand the system/process to diagram
Choose diagram type: Flowchart, architecture, BPMN, UML, DFD, etc.
Identify elements: Determine actors, processes, data stores, connectors
Draft XML structure: Create the mxGraphModel with proper root cells
Add shapes: Create mxCell elements with appropriate styles
Add connectors: Link elements with edge elements
Validate XML: Ensure all tags are closed and IDs are unique
Output: Write the .drawio file for the user

Key XML Components

mxfile: Root element with host and version
diagram: Contains the diagram definition
mxGraphModel: Canvas settings (grid, page size)
root: Container for all cells (must include id="0" and id="1")
mxCell: Individual shapes (vertices) or connectors (edges)

Draw.io XML Structure

Every .drawio file follows this XML structure:

<mxfile host="app.diagrams.net" agent="Claude" version="24.7.17">
  <diagram id="logical-flow-1" name="Logical Flow">
    <mxGraphModel dx="1200" dy="800" grid="1" gridSize="10" guides="1"
      tooltips="1" connect="1" arrows="1" fold="1" page="1"
      pageScale="1" pageWidth="1169" pageHeight="827" math="0" shadow="0">
      <root>
        <mxCell id="0" />
        <mxCell id="1" parent="0" />
        <!-- Shapes and connectors here -->
      </root>
    </mxGraphModel>
  </diagram>
</mxfile>

Key rules:

IDs "0" and "1" are reserved for root cells
Use sequential integer IDs starting from "2"
Use landscape orientation for architecture diagrams
All coordinates must be positive and aligned to grid (multiples of 10)

  edge="1" parent="1" source="2" target="3">
  <mxGeometry relative="1" as="geometry" />
</mxCell>

<mxCell id="11" value="Data"
  style="text;html=1;align=center;verticalAlign=middle;fontSize=11;fontColor=#333333;labelBackgroundColor=#ffffff;"
  vertex="1" parent="1">
  <mxGeometry x="250" y="160" width="40" height="20" as="geometry" />
</mxCell>

Layout Best Practices

Flow direction: Left-to-right or top-to-bottom consistently
Spacing: 40-60px between elements, 20px inside containers
Grid alignment: All coordinates in multiples of 10
Label placement: Above horizontal arrows, right of vertical arrows
Container grouping: Use rounded rectangles for logical groupings
Balance: Keep diagrams centered, avoid extreme whitespace

Example 3: Microservice Communication Flow

User Request: "Create a logical diagram showing microservice architecture with API gateway, multiple services, and message queue for async communication."

Reference: See diagram-templates.md for complete microservice template.

Constraints and Warnings

Critical Constraints

XML validity: Always close tags properly and escape special characters
Unique IDs: All cell IDs must be unique (except parent "0" and "1")
Valid references: Source/target must reference existing cell IDs
Positive coordinates: All x, y values must be >= 0

Warnings

XML files must be well-formed or will fail to open in draw.io
Invalid parent references cause elements to disappear
Negative coordinates place elements outside visible canvas

Best Practices

Visual Guidelines

Use consistent colors per element type
Keep arrows straight with minimal bends
Place labels at least 20px from arrow lines
Group related elements in containers
Use 12-14px font for labels, 10-11px for annotations

Accessibility

Use high contrast colors
Don't rely solely on color to convey meaning
Include text labels for all shapes
Add annotations for complex flows

name	drawio-logical-diagrams
description	Creates professional logical flow diagrams and logical system architecture diagrams using draw.io XML format (.drawio files). Use when creating: (1) logical flow diagrams showing data/process flow between system components, (2) logical architecture diagrams representing system structure without cloud provider specifics, (3) BPMN process diagrams, (4) UML diagrams (class, sequence, activity), (5) data flow diagrams (DFD), (6) decision flowcharts, or (7) system interaction diagrams. This skill focuses on generic/abstract representations, not AWS/Azure-specific architectures (use aws-drawio-architecture-diagrams for cloud diagrams).
