architecture-diagram

architecture-diagram is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from StarryCod/cogitum. It costs 15 tokens per session (1,535 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of architecture-diagram, MIT.

A method for creating standalone HTML files containing dark-themed SVG diagrams of software systems and infrastructure. SVG is a browser-friendly format for scalable drawings.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for frontend-backend-database diagrams, cloud infrastructure, networks of small services, service meshes, database and API maps, or deployment layouts.
Why use it?
It gives technical relationships a clear visual structure, making systems easier to explain than a list of components or text alone.

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-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 6d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

95% identical to architecture-diagram — 6 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Architecture Diagram Skill

Generate professional, dark-themed technical architecture diagrams as standalone HTML files with inline SVG graphics. No external tools, no API keys, no rendering libraries — just write the HTML file and open it in a browser.

Scope

Best suited for:

  • Software system architecture (frontend / backend / database layers)
  • Cloud infrastructure (VPC, regions, subnets, managed services)
  • Microservice / service-mesh topology
  • Database + API map, deployment diagrams
  • Anything with a tech-infra subject that fits a dark, grid-backed aesthetic

Look elsewhere first for:

  • Physics, chemistry, math, biology, or other scientific subjects
  • Physical objects (vehicles, hardware, anatomy, cross-sections)
  • Floor plans, narrative journeys, educational / textbook-style visuals
  • Hand-drawn whiteboard sketches (consider excalidraw)
  • Animated explainers (consider an animation skill)

If a more specialized skill is available for the subject, prefer that. If none fits, this skill can also serve as a general SVG diagram fallback — the output will just carry the dark tech aesthetic described below.

Based on Cocoon AI's architecture-diagram-generator (MIT).

Workflow

  1. User describes their system architecture (components, connections, technologies)
  2. Generate the HTML file following the design system below
  3. Save with write_file to a .html file (e.g. ~/architecture-diagram.html)
  4. User opens in any browser — works offline, no dependencies

Output Location

Save diagrams to a user-specified path, or default to the current working directory:

./[project-name]-architecture.html

Preview

After saving, suggest the user open it:

# macOS
open ./my-architecture.html
# Linux
xdg-open ./my-architecture.html

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.
