diagram-router

diagram-router is a skill for Claude Code from Zate/cc-plugins. It costs 60 tokens per session (1,202 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A selector that chooses a diagram format and diagram type from a request. It can route work to SVG, Mermaid, Excalidraw, or D2 formats.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when someone asks for a diagram without naming a format, or when the request should be sent to the matching format-specific tool.
Why use it?
It removes the need to decide which diagram technology fits the request when no format has been specified.

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

diagram-router 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 7d 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.

Diagram Router

Select the best output format and diagram type for the user's request, then delegate to the format-specific skill.

Step 1: Did the User Specify a Format?

If the user explicitly requests a format, use it:

  • "Draw this in SVG" / "as SVG" / "raw SVG" --> svg skill
  • "Mermaid diagram" / "in mermaid" / "as mermaid" --> mermaid skill
  • "Excalidraw" / "whiteboard style" / "hand-drawn" --> excalidraw skill
  • "D2 diagram" / "in d2" --> d2 skill

If they specified a format, skip to Step 3.

Step 2: Select Format from Context

Default: SVG. Always. SVG produces the highest visual quality, handles every diagram type, and renders everywhere (browsers, GitHub, docs, presentations). Only route away from SVG when the user explicitly names another format.

Context Signal Format Why
No specific signal SVG Best quality, most flexible, browser-native
"For the README" / "in markdown" / "GitHub" SVG GitHub renders SVG natively. Quality matters.
"Quick" / "simple" / "basic" SVG Still SVG -- it handles simple diagrams well too
User explicitly says "mermaid" Mermaid They asked for it
User explicitly says "excalidraw" / "whiteboard" / "sketch" / "hand-drawn" Excalidraw Hand-drawn aesthetic, saves .excalidraw file
User explicitly says "d2" D2 They asked for it

The rule is simple: SVG unless the user says otherwise. The user can always convert later ("convert that to mermaid", "make that an excalidraw", etc.).

Step 3: Select Diagram Type

If the user described what they want to visualize but did not name a diagram type, infer it:

What They Described Diagram Type
System components, layers, platform Layered architecture
Service communication, API calls, request flow Sequence diagram
Steps in a process, pipeline, workflow Flowchart
Who handles each step, team responsibilities Swimlane
Object lifecycle, status transitions State machine
Database tables and relationships ER diagram
Module/package dependencies Dependency graph
Option A vs option B, before/after Comparison (side-by-side)
Project phases, milestones, releases Timeline / Gantt
Security boundaries, attack surface Threat model / DFD
Topics and subtopics, brainstorm Mind map
Central service with consumers Hub and spoke
Set overlaps, shared characteristics Venn diagram
Decision logic, branching conditions Decision tree
Volume distribution, traffic flow Sankey diagram
Team structure, hierarchy Org chart / tree
Cloud infrastructure, network topology Network diagram
How software maps to infrastructure Deployment diagram
