Instructions for creating diagrams such as flowcharts, architecture diagrams, entity-relationship diagrams, and sequence diagrams.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan and produce technical diagrams, including editable hand-drawn diagrams and standard UML, C4, and domain-design diagrams.
Why use it?
It helps choose an appropriate diagram format and creation method instead of treating every diagram request the same way.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

generate-diagram scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 18 executable files (references/examples/architecture-graphviz.py, references/examples/block-blockdiag.py, references/examples/block-schemdraw.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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Diagram Generation

Generate professional diagrams by routing each request to the best-fit tool. For UML, C4, and DDD diagram types, use PlantUML (text-based, standard notation). For everything else, use Python libraries via uv inline scripts. For editable hand-drawn diagrams, use Excalidraw JSON.

Interaction Protocol

  1. Classify the diagram type. If ambiguous, ask:

    What kind of diagram?

    • C4 (Context / Container / Component)
    • UML Use Case
    • UML Activity / BPMN-style workflow
    • UML State Machine
    • DDD Context Map
    • Subdomain Decomposition (WBS)
    • ERD (Conceptual or Logical)
    • Flowchart / pipeline
    • Architecture (generic boxes + arrows)
    • Cloud/infra architecture (AWS, GCP, K8s icons)
    • Pyramid / stacked layers
    • Sequence diagram
    • Network / DAG
    • Block diagram
    • Excalidraw (editable, hand-drawn sketch style)
  2. Pick the tool from the routing table. For PlantUML types, do NOT offer Python alternatives — PlantUML is the only correct choice for standard notation. Skip to step 3.

  3. Ask output path: "Where should I save the diagram?" Default to current directory if the user doesn't specify.

  4. Check prerequisites based on the tool:

    For PlantUML:

    plantuml -version 2>/dev/null || docker image inspect plantuml/plantuml-cli:plantuml-cli-v1.0.1 >/dev/null 2>&1
    

    If neither is available, show:

    • macOS: brew install plantuml
    • Docker: docker pull plantuml/plantuml-cli:plantuml-cli-v1.0.1
    • Do NOT fall back to a Python approximation. Stop and ask the user to install one of the above.

    For Graphviz-dependent Python libraries:

    dot -V
    
  5. Load the relevant reference for the tool you picked (see below). Generate the diagram following that reference.

    • PlantUML: write a .puml file, render with plantuml -tsvg or Docker. Open the SVG.
    • Python: write a uv run-compatible inline script. Run it. Open the SVG.
    • Excalidraw: write a .excalidraw JSON file. Open it.

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.
