Open-source Codex skill generates editable Draw.io diagrams from text

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

A new open-source Codex Skill called drawio-mxgraph converts natural language descriptions into editable .drawio files. It uses stable node IDs for incremental updates and validates XML before delivery. The tool supports layout switching, orthogonal routing, and embedded SVG icons.

Meridian48 take
While useful for developers, the skill's reliance on Codex limits its audience to OpenAI's platform, and the real test will be how well it handles complex, real-world diagrams.
