external-diagram-mermaid-generate is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from forcedotcom/sf-skills. It costs 95 tokens per session (2,517 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A diagram-writing tool for Salesforce systems, using Mermaid diagrams with an ASCII text fallback. It covers architecture, authentication, data relationships, integration sequences, and Agentforce structures.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create architecture diagrams, OAuth flow diagrams, entity-relationship diagrams (ERDs), flowcharts, and integration sequence diagrams.
Why use it?
It helps explain Salesforce designs in documentation, README files, and issue trackers without requiring a separate drawing application.

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

external-diagram-mermaid-generate scanned grade A 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 8d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/mermaid_preview.py, scripts/query-org-metadata.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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

external-diagram-mermaid-generate: Salesforce Diagram Generation

Use this skill when the user needs text-based diagrams: Mermaid diagrams for architecture, OAuth, integration flows, ERDs, or Agentforce structure, plus ASCII fallback when plain-text compatibility matters.

Scope

In Scope

Use external-diagram-mermaid-generate when the user wants:

  • Mermaid output
  • ASCII fallback diagrams
  • architecture, sequence, flowchart, or ERD views in markdown-friendly form
  • diagrams that can live directly in docs, READMEs, or issues

Out of Scope — Delegate elsewhere when the user wants:


Supported Diagram Families

Type Preferred Mermaid form Typical use
OAuth / auth flows sequenceDiagram Authorization Code, JWT, PKCE, Device Flow
ERD / data model flowchart LR object relationships and sharing context
integration sequence sequenceDiagram request/response or event choreography
system landscape flowchart high-level architecture
role / access hierarchy flowchart users, profiles, permissions
Agentforce behavior map flowchart agent → topic → action relationships

Required Context to Gather First

Ask for or infer:

  • diagram type
  • scope and entities / systems involved
  • output preference: Mermaid only, ASCII only, or both
  • whether styling should be minimal, documentation-first, or presentation-friendly
  • for ERDs: whether org metadata is available for grounding

1. Pick the right diagram structure

  • use sequenceDiagram for time-ordered interactions
  • use flowchart LR for ERDs and capability maps
  • keep a single primary story per diagram when possible

2. Gather data

For ERDs and grounded diagrams:

What ships with it

36 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
