architecture-diagramming

architecture-diagramming is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from joao-aires/agent-skills-public. It costs 44 tokens per session (592 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An HTML-based tool for creating responsive diagrams that show how software systems, services, data, or messages connect. It supports architecture, deployment, sequence, state, network, and pipeline views.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to map cloud infrastructure, microservices, data flows, deployments, integrations, system interactions, or CI/CD pipelines.
Why use it?
It turns complex system relationships into an editable, responsive document rather than a fixed image, while keeping the diagram in version-controlled HTML.

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

architecture-diagramming 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 yesterday.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 39 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Explain architecture in portable HTML

Create a responsive, self-contained HTML diagram when that is the requested artifact. Choose a view that answers the reader's structural, runtime, data or deployment question. For an existing project, preserve its accepted notation and visual direction; a diagramming request alone does not authorize application changes.

Establish meaning before layout

Identify the audience, question, scope and source evidence. Distinguish implemented architecture, observed deployment, proposed design and unknowns. Trace important relationships to supplied context or source; use current-system mapping expertise or evidence-backed architecture explanation expertise when available for deeper discovery and semantic coverage. Keep technology lists and invented components from standing in for an explanation.

Reader's question Suitable view
What is the structure? Context/container/component
What happens in what order? Sequence
How does state change? State/lifecycle
Where does information move? Data flow

Choose the smallest view that answers the question, then decide what each element and connection means before arranging it. A structural view needs responsibilities and directed dependencies; a sequence needs participants, ordering and consequential branches; a lifecycle needs valid states and transitions. Mixing those meanings in one unlabeled connector makes an attractive diagram difficult to interpret.

Keep labels, directed relationships and boundaries consistent. Give a relationship a verb or message that explains what crosses it. Use grouping to express an actual boundary or ownership, and provide text for important meaning. Add another view when it answers a different useful question rather than overloading one picture with every detail.

Use the HTML guide selectively

Read HTML patterns and design system when constructing or repairing this artifact. It retains the original layout catalogue, theming conventions, connectors and responsive techniques. Treat its dark/light palette and example layouts as a coherent starting profile; adapt visual choices to the brief and content while keeping portability and semantic clarity.

What ships with it

3 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.

architecture-diagramming is a skill published in the GitHub repository joao-aires/agent-skills-public (2 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 44 tokens to every session and 592 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-10-15.
