+# 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.
+
+Based on [Cocoon AI's architecture-diagram-generator](https://github.com/Cocoon-AI/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:
+```bash
+# macOS
+open ./my-architecture.html
+# Linux
+xdg-open ./my-architecture.html
+```
+
+## Design System & Visual Language
+
+### Color Palette (Semantic Mapping)
+
+Use specific `rgba` fills and hex strokes to categorize components:
+
+| Component Type | Fill (rgba) | Stroke (Hex) |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| **Frontend** | `rgba(8, 51, 68, 0.4)` | `#22d3ee` (cyan-400) |
+| **Backend** | `rgba(6, 78, 59, 0.4)` | `#34d399` (emerald-400) |
+| **Database** | `rgba(76, 29, 149, 0.4)` | `#a78bfa` (violet-400) |
+| **AWS/Cloud** | `rgba(120, 53, 15, 0.3)` | `#fbbf24` (amber-400) |
+| **Security** | `rgba(136, 19, 55, 0.4)` | `#fb7185` (rose-400) |
+| **Message Bus** | `rgba(251, 146, 60, 0.3)` | `#fb923c` (orange-400) |
+| **External** | `rgba(30, 41, 59, 0.5)` | `#94a3b8` (slate-400) |
+
+### Typography & Background
+- **Font:** JetBrains Mono (Monospace), loaded from Google Fonts
+- **Sizes:** 12px (Names), 9px (Sublabels), 8px (Annotations), 7px (Tiny labels)
+- **Background:** Slate-950 (`#020617`) with a subtle 40px grid pattern
+
+```svg
+
+
+
+
+```
+
+## Technical Implementation Details
+
+### Component Rendering
+Components are rounded rectangles (`rx="6"`) with 1.5px strokes. To prevent arrows from showing through semi-transparent fills, use a **double-rect masking technique**:
+1. Draw an opaque background rect (`#0f172a`)
+2. Draw the semi-transparent styled rect on top
+
+### Connection Rules
+- **Z-Order:** Draw arrows *early* in the SVG (after the grid) so they render behind component boxes
+- **Arrowheads:** Defined via SVG markers
+- **Security Flows:** Use dashed lines in rose color (`#fb7185`)
+- **Boundaries:**
+ - *Security Groups:* Dashed (`4,4`), rose color
+ - *Regions:* Large dashed (`8,4`), amber color, `rx="12"`
+
+### Spacing & Layout Logic
+- **Standard Height:** 60px (Services); 80-120px (Large components)
+- **Vertical Gap:** Minimum 40px between components
+- **Message Buses:** Must be placed *in the gap* between services, not overlapping them
+- **Legend Placement:** **CRITICAL.** Must be placed outside all boundary boxes. Calculate the lowest Y-coordinate of all boundaries and place the legend at least 20px below it.
+
+## Document Structure
+
+The generated HTML file follows a four-part layout:
+1. **Header:** Title with a pulsing dot indicator and subtitle
+2. **Main SVG:** The diagram contained within a rounded border card
+3. **Summary Cards:** A grid of three cards below the diagram for high-level details
+4. **Footer:** Minimal metadata
+
+### Info Card Pattern
+```html
+
+
+
+
Title
+
+
+
• Item one
+
• Item two
+
+
+```
+
+## Output Requirements
+- **Single File:** One self-contained `.html` file
+- **No External Dependencies:** All CSS and SVG must be inline (except Google Fonts)
+- **No JavaScript:** Use pure CSS for any animations (like pulsing dots)
+- **Compatibility:** Must render correctly in any modern web browser
+
+## Template Reference
+
+Load the full HTML template for the exact structure, CSS, and SVG component examples:
+
+```
+skill_view(name="architecture-diagram", file_path="templates/template.html")
+```
+
+The template contains working examples of every component type (frontend, backend, database, cloud, security), arrow styles (standard, dashed, curved), security groups, region boundaries, and the legend — use it as your structural reference when generating diagrams.
