What is azure-diagrams?

A diagramming toolkit for Azure architecture, business processes, database schemas, timelines, wireframes, and network layouts. Azure is Microsoft's cloud-computing platform, and the toolkit includes its service icons for architecture diagrams.

Use it to create Azure infrastructure diagrams, swimlane process flows, entity-relationship diagrams, project timelines, UI wireframes, and network topology diagrams.

It gives developers and architects a consistent way to turn system designs and workflows into diagrams for documentation, proposals, and reviews.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00085	$0.03901
Opus 5	$0.00043	$0.01951
Sonnet 5	$0.00017	$0.00780
Haiku 4.5	$0.00009	$0.00390

Measured 12d ago against content hash 7808fba45dc1, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-09-12, from the pricing page.

Security

Grade B, and why

azure-diagrams scanned grade B with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 8 executable files (scripts/ascii_to_diagram.py, scripts/check_imports.py, scripts/generate_diagram.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 434 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Azure Architecture Diagrams Skill

A comprehensive technical diagramming toolkit for solutions architects, presales engineers, and developers. Generate professional diagrams for proposals, documentation, and architecture reviews.

⚡ Execution Method

Run the Python directly to generate the image, and keep the image but do not leave a throwaway .py script behind. The generated file is the deliverable.

Output location (portable). Write to a diagrams/ folder in the current working directory - this works in every tool and on every OS. If you are running in a sandbox that provides /mnt/user-data/outputs (e.g. Claude Code on the web), prefer that. Create the folder first.

POSIX shells (Claude Code, Cursor, Linux/macOS - bash/zsh):

mkdir -p diagrams
python3 << 'EOF'
from diagrams import Diagram
from diagrams.azure.compute import AKS
from diagrams.azure.database import CosmosDb

with Diagram("My Architecture", filename="diagrams/architecture", show=False, outformat="png"):
    AKS("aks-prod") >> CosmosDb("cosmos-prod")
EOF

Windows PowerShell (e.g. GitHub Copilot on Windows - no heredoc): write a short script, run it, then delete it so nothing is left behind:

New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force diagrams > $null
@'
from diagrams import Diagram
from diagrams.azure.compute import AKS
from diagrams.azure.database import CosmosDb
with Diagram("My Architecture", filename="diagrams/architecture", show=False, outformat="png"):
    AKS("aks-prod") >> CosmosDb("cosmos-prod")
'@ | Set-Content _diagram.py; python _diagram.py; Remove-Item _diagram.py

Canned patterns (cross-platform) - use the bundled generator instead of writing code:

python scripts/generate_diagram.py --list                       # list available patterns
python scripts/generate_diagram.py --pattern <name> --output diagrams/arch

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

azure-diagrams is a skill published in the GitHub repository cmb211087/azure-diagrams-skill (147 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 85 tokens to every session and 3,901 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (asks for root). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
