| 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 (MIT).
Workflow
- User describes their system architecture (components, connections, technologies)
- Generate the HTML file following the design system below
- Save with
write_file to a .html file (e.g. ~/architecture-diagram.html)
- 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:
open ./my-architecture.html
xdg-open ./my-architecture.html

Color Palette (Semantic Mapping)
Use specific rgba fills and hex strokes to categorize components:
