Quick Reference
Mermaid Diagram Expert v7.1.0 - Pure skill-based Mermaid rendering for Claude Code with MCP Playwright integration.
This skill provides complete Mermaid 11.12.2 syntax for all 21 diagram types, MCP Playwright integration for rendering SVG and PNG outputs, ready-to-use examples and reference documentation, and enterprise diagram patterns with best practices.
To invoke this skill, use the standard skill invocation pattern with the skill name moai-library-mermaid.
Supported Diagram Types
The skill supports 21 diagram types organized into five categories:
Structural Diagrams include Flowchart for process flows and decision trees, Sequence for interaction sequences and message flows, Class for object-oriented class relationships, ER for entity-relationship databases, Block for block diagram structures, and State for state machines and stateful flows.
Timeline and Tracking diagrams include Timeline for chronological events and milestones, Gantt for project scheduling and timelines, and Gitgraph for Git workflow and branching visualization.
Architecture and Design diagrams include C4 for Context, Container, Component, and Code architecture diagrams, Architecture for system architecture diagrams, and Requirement for requirements and traceability documentation.
Data Visualization diagrams include Pie Chart for pie and donut charts, XY Chart for scatter and line charts, Sankey for flow diagrams with proportional width, and Radar for multi-variable comparison charts.
User and Process diagrams include Mindmap for hierarchical mind mapping, User Journey for user experience flows, Kanban for board state visualization, and Packet for network packet structures.
MCP Playwright Integration
This skill integrates with MCP Playwright for diagram rendering. The MCP configuration in the project mcp.json file enables the Playwright server, which can be configured to use npx with the anthropic-ai playwright-mcp package.
To render diagrams, the MCP Playwright server must be configured in the project MCP settings, Node.js must be installed on the system, and Playwright must be available through npx.
Implementation Guide
Diagram Syntax Patterns
Flowchart diagrams use the flowchart keyword followed by direction indicators such as TD for top-down or LR for left-right. Nodes are defined with brackets for shapes where round brackets create rounded rectangles, square brackets create standard rectangles, curly braces create rhombus decision nodes, and double brackets create stadium-shaped nodes. Connections use arrow syntax with double dashes and angle brackets for arrows, with optional pipe-delimited labels for edge descriptions. Subgraphs group related nodes using the subgraph keyword with a title and end delimiter.
Sequence diagrams define participants first using the participant keyword, then show interactions using arrow notation. Solid arrows with double angle brackets represent synchronous calls, while dashed arrows represent responses or asynchronous messages. Activation rectangles show participant activity duration using activate and deactivate keywords or the plus and minus shorthand on arrows. Notes can be added to the right, left, or over participants.
