Description
"Creates flowcharts, swim lane diagrams, and business process diagrams using Draw.io (diagrams.net). Covers standard flowchart shapes (process, decision, start/end), connectors, auto-layout, and export to PNG/SVG/PDF. Use when the user needs to visualize workflows, decision trees, or business processes."

When to use this skill

Use this skill whenever the user wants to:

  • Create flowcharts for business processes or technical workflows
  • Design swim lane diagrams showing responsibilities across teams or systems
  • Visualize decision trees with conditional branching
  • Export process diagrams for documentation or presentations

How to use this skill

Workflow

  1. Start from template - Choose Flowchart template in Draw.io or start blank
  2. Add shapes - Use standard shapes: rounded rectangle (start/end), rectangle (process), diamond (decision)
  3. Connect with arrows - Label decision branches (Yes/No) and flow direction
  4. Apply auto-layout - Use Format > Layout > Vertical/Horizontal Tree for clean alignment
  5. Export - Save as .drawio for editing; export PNG/SVG/PDF for sharing

Quick-Start Example: Order Processing Flowchart (XML)

<mxGraphModel>
  <root>
    <mxCell id="0"/><mxCell id="1" parent="0"/>
    <!-- Start -->
    <mxCell id="2" value="Order Received" style="ellipse;fillColor=#d5e8d4;" vertex="1" parent="1">
      <mxGeometry x="200" y="20" width="120" height="40" as="geometry"/>
    </mxCell>
    <!-- Decision -->
    <mxCell id="3" value="In Stock?" style="rhombus;fillColor=#fff2cc;" vertex="1" parent="1">
      <mxGeometry x="200" y="100" width="120" height="60" as="geometry"/>
    </mxCell>
    <!-- Process -->
    <mxCell id="4" value="Ship Order" style="rounded=0;fillColor=#dae8fc;" vertex="1" parent="1">
      <mxGeometry x="100" y="200" width="120" height="40" as="geometry"/>
    </mxCell>
    <mxCell id="5" value="Backorder" style="rounded=0;fillColor=#f8cecc;" vertex="1" parent="1">
      <mxGeometry x="300" y="200" width="120" height="40" as="geometry"/>
    </mxCell>
    <!-- Arrows -->
    <mxCell id="6" style="" edge="1" source="2" target="3" parent="1"/>
    <mxCell id="7" value="Yes" edge="1" source="3" target="4" parent="1"/>
    <mxCell id="8" value="No" edge="1" source="3" target="5" parent="1"/>
  </root>
</mxGraphModel>

Swim Lane Diagram

For cross-team processes, use Draw.io's swim lane containers:

  1. Insert > Advanced > Pool/Lane
  2. Drag process steps into the appropriate lane
  3. Connect steps across lanes with labeled arrows

Best Practices

  1. Consistent flow direction - Use top-to-bottom or left-to-right consistently
  2. Standard shapes - Rectangles for processes, diamonds for decisions, ovals for start/end
  3. Label decision branches - Always label Yes/No or condition text on decision arrows
  4. One process per diagram - Keep diagrams focused; split complex flows into sub-processes
  5. Include a legend - Add a key explaining shape meanings and color coding
