Sketchy turns AI explanations into interactive, hand-drawn diagrams. Map your app’s architecture, trace a request from button to database, and click any linked node to open its source file. Use Sketchy in Claude or set it up in Cursor via npm. Draw freehand on the canvas or export to Excalidraw to keep editing. The model sends a compact scene description, and Sketchy handles layout and rendering without spending model tokens on either. Free and open source.

Could you build this?
Yes It renders LLM output as interactive diagrams and exposes that through an MCP server and an npm setup. Canvas drawing, Excalidraw export, and linking nodes to source files are all achievable with standard libraries.
