Diagram Colour Picker

Interactive widget for adjusting the 11-tag diagram colour palette.

When to use

When the user wants to visually pick alternative fill/stroke colours for diagram boxes.

How to use

1. Read current colours

Extract the current tag→colour mapping from scripts/diagram-render.ts (the THEME_CSS light-mode block — the .box-* rules).

2. Post the widget

Use send_dashboard_widget with the HTML from colour-picker-widget.html (sibling of this SKILL.md).

Before posting, update the tags array at the top of the <script> block with the current fill/stroke values from the renderer.

send_dashboard_widget({
  title: "Diagram Colour Picker",
  content: "Interactive colour picker for diagram tag styles",
  html: <contents of colour-picker-widget.html with current colours>
})

3. Wait for user submission

The widget sends back a message like:

Updated colours:
backend: fill=#74a7ff stroke=#012f7b
processing: fill=#adadad stroke=#000000

Only changed colours are included.

4. Apply changes

For each changed tag, update the corresponding .box-* CSS rule in scripts/diagram-render.ts — both the light-mode default block and the dark-mode @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) block.

For dark mode, derive darker fill variants from the light fill (reduce lightness by ~60%, keep hue) and keep strokes vibrant.

5. Regenerate all diagrams

for f in _diagrams/*.json; do
  bun scripts/diagram-render.ts "$f" "_diagrams/$(basename $f .json).svg"
done

Then update all _content/*.md files and rebuild:

python3 -c "
import re, os, glob
for md in sorted(glob.glob('_content/*.md')):
    name = os.path.basename(md).replace('.md','')
    svg_f = f'_diagrams/{name}.svg'
    if not os.path.exists(svg_f): continue
    content = open(md).read()
    svg = open(svg_f).read()
    content = re.sub(r'(## Diagram\s*\n)<svg[\s\S]*?</svg>', r'\1' + svg, content)
    open(md, 'w').write(content)
