arch-diagram

arch-diagram is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from JansenAnalytics/claudex. It costs 21 tokens per session (452 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool that turns a codebase's components and dependencies into architecture diagrams. It can produce Mermaid, PlantUML, or plain-text diagrams.

In plain words
What is it for?
Extract dependencies from package files or imports, create diagrams for documentation or pull requests, and map components or sequences.
Why use it?
It makes relationships between parts of a software project easier to understand and document.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

Not installable on its own: it runs a file from its repository that does not travel with it. Clone the repository, or install whatever ships that file. The line is bash scripts/dep-graph.sh --path /path/to/project --type node.

Install

Getting it into your agent

There is no command for this one: it runs only inside a plugin, and the catalogue could not identify which plugin ships it. The source is linked below.

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

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

arch-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 5d ago.

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.

What it actually says

arch-diagram

Generate architecture diagrams from codebase analysis: Mermaid, PlantUML, or ASCII.

When to Use

  • Visualizing system architecture
  • Documenting component relationships
  • Creating sequence diagrams
  • Mapping dependencies from package.json or imports
  • Generating diagrams for documentation or PRs

How It Works

  1. Point dep-graph.sh at a project to extract dependencies
  2. Use mermaid-gen.sh to produce Mermaid diagram syntax
  3. Use ascii-diagram.sh for quick terminal-friendly box diagrams
  4. Consult references for syntax help and diagram type selection

Scripts

Script Purpose
dep-graph.sh Extract dependency graph from package.json or import statements
mermaid-gen.sh Generate Mermaid diagram markup from components/relationships
ascii-diagram.sh Generate ASCII box-and-arrow diagrams

References

File Content
mermaid-syntax.md Mermaid diagram syntax quick reference
plantuml-syntax.md PlantUML syntax quick reference
diagram-selection.md Guide for choosing the right diagram type

Example Usage

# Extract deps from a Node.js project
bash scripts/dep-graph.sh --path /path/to/project --type node

# Generate a Mermaid flowchart
bash scripts/mermaid-gen.sh --type flowchart \
  --components "API,Database,Cache,Queue" \
  --relations "API->Database,API->Cache,API->Queue"

# Quick ASCII diagram
bash scripts/ascii-diagram.sh \
  --components "Client,API Gateway,Auth Service,DB" \
  --relations "Client->API Gateway,API Gateway->Auth Service,Auth Service->DB"

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.

arch-diagram is a skill published in the GitHub repository JansenAnalytics/claudex (5 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 21 tokens to every session and 452 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
