mermaid-diagram-generator

mermaid-diagram-generator is a skill for Claude Code from wedsamuel1230/arduino-skills. It costs 30 tokens per session (478 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for creating Mermaid diagrams, which are text-based diagrams, for Arduino and other embedded-system projects.

In plain words
What is it for?
It supports state-machine, flowchart, timing, protocol, FreeRTOS task, and workflow diagrams, with templates and syntax checks.
Why use it?
It helps turn code and system behavior into readable documentation without drawing diagrams by hand.

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

mermaid-diagram-generator 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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/generate_diagram.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.

Mermaid Diagram Generator

Generate Mermaid diagrams from Arduino and embedded-system concepts without loading unnecessary detail up front.

Resources

  • scripts/generate_diagram.py - CLI generator for diagram output
  • references/diagram-templates.md - Mermaid templates by diagram type
  • references/code-patterns.md - code-to-diagram extraction heuristics
  • references/validation-checklist.md - rendering and syntax checks

When to Use

Use this skill when the request asks to:

  • visualize a state machine
  • turn code into a flowchart
  • document timing or protocol sequences
  • show FreeRTOS task relationships
  • add a diagram to project documentation

Do not use it for tiny code snippets where a diagram adds no clarity.

Workflow

  1. Identify the diagram type:
    • state flow -> open references/code-patterns.md
    • timing or protocol sequence -> open references/diagram-templates.md
    • task architecture -> open both code-patterns.md and diagram-templates.md
  2. Prefer the simplest diagram that explains the behavior.
  3. Use scripts/generate_diagram.py when the input is structured enough for automation.
  4. Run through references/validation-checklist.md before presenting the final Mermaid output.

Verification

  • Mermaid syntax parses without errors.
  • The diagram uses the correct abstraction level for the request.
  • State names, transitions, or signals match the source material exactly.
  • The output is readable without reverse-engineering the code.

Integration

  • Pair with freertos-patterns for task and synchronization diagrams.
  • Pair with arduino-code-generator when a generated sketch also needs visual documentation.
  • Pair with readme-generator when the diagram should ship in repository docs.

Shared Output Contract

Use the shared Arduino skill contract: state assumptions, required tools and versions, implementation steps, tests/evidence by proof stage, known limitations, and recovery/security notes.

What ships with it

4 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.

mermaid-diagram-generator is a skill published in the GitHub repository wedsamuel1230/arduino-skills (21 stars, last pushed 23d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 30 tokens to every session and 478 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.
