Giving agents a whiteboard: Claude Code crew plans on a shared Excalidraw canvas for $0.36

Developer pramodk73 shared a hands-on workflow: he gave his Claude Code multi-agent crew a shared canvas (Excalidraw) so they could plan and iterate like a team at a whiteboard.
As shown in the screenshot, asking the agents to "put all this on a canvas" produced a seven-box landing-page strategy board covering top selling points, search demand, priority fixes, differentiation vs. competitors, competitor strengths, security & control, and next steps. Total cost: about $0.36. The agent even flagged that it hadn't visually verified the layout and asked for confirmation.
The takeaway: adding a visual planning layer to multi-agent workflows replaces the missing whiteboard for remote agent collaboration, and the pattern is reusable in any agent stack.
