Generate editable .excalidraw JSON diagrams that argue visually — architectures, workflows, and concepts — using a single color palette and concrete evidence artifacts rather than labeled boxes.

description: Create .excalidraw JSON files that make a visual argument, not just a labeled diagram. Use when visualizing workflows, architectures, or concepts as editable Excalidraw graphics.

Generates editable Excalidraw diagrams whose structure carries the meaning.
## Workflow
1. Run the Depth Assessment first: decide whether the diagram is conceptual (abstract shapes) or technical (concrete examples), since technical diagrams must include real evidence artifacts (actual formats, event names, examples).
2. Apply the design philosophy — diagrams should ARGUE, not DISPLAY. Use the Isomorphism Test (would structure alone communicate?) and Education Test (does it teach something concrete?).
3. Read `references/color-palette.md` as the single source of truth for all fills, strokes, and text colors before generating anything.
4. Emit valid `.excalidraw` JSON with explicit element coordinates, bindings, and arrows expressing relationships, causality, and flow.
5. Optionally render via the included renderer (see README) to verify the output.
