Previous pass assumed both skills would always be loaded together, so
each description pointed at the other ('use concept-diagrams instead').
That breaks when only one skill is active — the agent reads 'use the
other skill' and there is no other skill.
Now each skill's description and scope section is fully self-contained:
- States what it's best suited for
- Lists subjects where a more specialized skill (if available) would be
a better fit, naming them only as 'consider X if available'
- Explicitly offers itself as a general SVG diagram fallback when no
more specialized skill exists
An agent loading either skill alone gets unambiguous guidance; an
agent with both loaded still gets useful routing via the 'consider X
if available' hints and the related_skills metadata.

description: Generate dark-themed SVG diagrams of software systems and cloud infrastructure as standalone HTML files with inline SVG graphics. Semantic component colors (cyan=frontend, emerald=backend, violet=database, amber=cloud/AWS, rose=security, orange=message bus), JetBrains Mono font, grid background. Best suited for software architecture, cloud/VPC topology, microservice maps, service-mesh diagrams, database + API layer diagrams, security groups, message buses — anything that fits a tech-infra deck with a dark aesthetic. If a more specialized diagramming skill exists for the subject (scientific, educational, hand-drawn, animated, etc.), prefer that — otherwise this skill can also serve as a general-purpose SVG diagram fallback.

# 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](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
|
|
<!-- Background Grid Pattern -->
|
|
<pattern id="grid" width="40" height="40" patternUnits="userSpaceOnUse">
|
|
<path d="M 40 0 L 0 0 0 40" fill="none" stroke="#1e293b" stroke-width="0.5"/>
|
|
</pattern>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 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
|
|
<div class="card">
|
|
<div class="card-header">
|
|
<div class="card-dot cyan"></div>
|
|
<h3>Title</h3>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>• Item one</li>
|
|
<li>• Item two</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</div>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 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.
