arch-diagram-generator

You can generate architecture diagrams from markdown documentation by deriving a structured JSON model from the text and feeding it to the Gemini API. This produces a diagram image with customizable styles for visual communication.

Yes, you need Gemini API access to visualize software architecture, as the diagram image is generated via the Gemini API. The skill validates this prerequisite along with necessary helper scripts before processing your code or documentation.

Yes, you can customize the visual style of generated architecture diagrams via configurable options sent to the Gemini API. This ensures consistent visuals across different projects when deriving diagrams from your JSON models.

The best way to extract a diagram-ready JSON model is using a skill that automatically derives a structured representation from your project files. It provides a reusable JSON schema to ensure the extracted data is properly formatted for diagram generation.

Limitations for architecture visualization include dependencies on shell utilities like jq, curl, and base64. If these helper scripts or Gemini API access are unavailable, the skill cannot validate prerequisites or generate the diagram image.
