What's in the bundle

The same folder Claude reads is what you can browse here:

--- name: privacy-sketch description: Author hand-drawn-style diagrams as Privacy Sketch JSON. Use when the user asks for a sketch, doodle, hand-drawn diagram, architecture sketch, flowchart, mind map, timeline, infographic, or wants JSON they can paste into the Privacy Sketch tool. ---

Long-form authoring guide with worked examples.

Schema

Element types, layouts, colors, options.

Examples

Four real diagrams to learn from or remix.

Install

Step by step for Windows, macOS, Linux.

Why a skill instead of a server

Local only

The skill is read by Claude Code on your machine. Your prompts and JSON output never leave your device unless you copy them somewhere.

No setup

No npm install, no API keys, no config files. Drop the folder in, restart Claude, done.

Reads the schema

The skill ships with the same schema.json the tool uses, so Claude's output validates.

Privacy first

Matches the Privacy Sketch promise: nothing about your diagrams is sent to a server we control.

Try a prompt

With the skill installed, ask Claude:

"Make a hand-drawn diagram of a JAMstack architecture: a CDN at the top, a static site generator and Git repo in the middle, and three backend services (auth, payments, analytics) at the bottom. Connect them with smart connectors."

You will get a single JSON document. Open Privacy Sketch, click Code, paste, click Apply.
