# Excalidraw Architect

> Use this tool when you need to create and modify complex diagrams with automated layout and styling, such as architecture diagrams for databases, message queues, and load balancers. It takes natural language commands and Mermaid flowcharts as input and produces visually styled diagrams as output. Ideal for use cases where you want to focus on describing components and connections without worrying about manual positioning and layout.

## Description

Separates diagram structure from layout computation, allowing AI agents to describe components and connections while a Sugiyama-based layout engine handles positioning, spacing, and edge routing. Supports 50+ technology mappings with automatic visual styling for databases, message queues, caches, load balancers, and more. Diagrams are stateful and can be iteratively modified through natural language commands. Also converts Mermaid flowcharts to Excalidraw format.
