Adding Animated Traffic Flows to Draw.io Diagrams with GitHub Copilot Agent Skills

This article explains how to add optional animated traffic flows to Draw.io diagrams using GitHub Copilot Agent skills. It emphasizes that animation should only be used when movement helps explain a design, such as highlighting specific request paths in architecture diagrams. Examples include Azure and AWS architectures where only selected arrows are animated to guide the viewer's eye, while static connectors remain for supporting relationships. The skill ensures animation is applied selectively, avoiding visual clutter and making diagrams clearer for explaining traffic flows.
