I've had a fairly thorough exploration of how I can give my agent a whiteboard so we can work on architectures together. To my surprise, current solutions (including Excalidraw) were not good enough and didn't deliver what I wanted. I ended up finding Mermaid to be the most agent-friendly medium and coded an Obsidian plugin for it. It works okay; we can work on the same doc while I bring my own AI agent, and we can brainstorm together. https://community.obsidian.md/plugins/mermaid-relay
Show HN: Reladraw – A diagram language where you decide where to place things[1], which adds relative placement constraints, and provides agent skills. Nearby on the front page just now, fwiw.

Did you play with TLDraw at all? I’ve had some success with it but haven’t been using it for that particular use case.
i found it a bit later than others and didn't really explored it deep; but yeah still couldn't find what i was looking for out of the box
