Claude Code skill: hand-drawn animated architecture diagrams — ink on beige paper, flowing dots, one self-contained HTML, seamless-loop GIF export
English · 简体中文
Animated Sketch Diagram
Ask for a diagram. Get a hand-drawn animation — one HTML file, one seamless-loop GIF.
A Claude Code skill that draws technical
diagrams the way a senior engineer sketches on paper — ink lines, beige paper,
doodle icons — then sets the flow in motion so the system explains itself.
Why this one
- Motion that means something. The dots trace the real topology — branches,
merges, feedback loops — so the animation retells the architecture, instead of
decorating it. - One file, zero runtime. Pure SVG + CSS (
@keyframes+offset-path).
Double-click to play, works offline, nothing to serve. - Seamless GIF export. Every duration divides one global loop and frames are
stepped deterministically — the last frame meets the first without a seam. - A design system, not style roulette. Palette, stroke, spacing and rhythm are
fixed tokens. Every diagram comes out matching: same ink, same paper. - It checks its own work. Renders the GIF, reads the frames back, fixes what's
off, re-renders — then delivers. - Chinese too. Bundled OFL handwriting font, auto-subsetted to the characters
you use — Chinese example.
Install
git clone https://github.com/OLDyade/animated-sketch-diagram.git ~/.claude/skills/animated-sketch-diagram
cd ~/.claude/skills/animated-sketch-diagram/scripts && npm ci # once, enables GIF export
Then ask, in any project:
Draw me an animated sketch diagram of how a RAG pipeline works.
Examples
Real, unretouched exports — each with its one-file .html source next to it.
| Diagram | Preview |
|---|---|
| The Agent Loop — plan, act, observe, until the goal is met | ![]() |
| Life of a Request — a click's round trip through the stack | ![]() |
| Loops in Claude Code — four loop patterns, ranked by hand-off | ![]() |
| Monolith vs Microservices — one app, two shapes | ![]() |
| RAG Pipeline — index offline, retrieve online | ![]() |
Requirements
Drawing needs only Claude Code. GIF export: Node.js, Chrome/Chromium (orCHROME_PATH), ffmpeg. CJK labels: pip3 install fonttools brotli.
