SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Creating polished technical architecture diagrams usually requires dedicated diagramming tools, accounts, or rendering libraries. This Skill produces professional dark-themed architecture, cloud, and infrastructure diagrams as single self-contained HTML files with inline SVG that open in any browser with no dependencies. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Semantic Color System: Predefined fill and stroke palettes categorize components as frontend, backend, database, cloud, security, message bus, or external services. - Complete Design System: Includes typography rules, grid backgrounds, arrow styles, security group boundaries, region containers, and legend placement conventions. - Ready-to-Use Template: A full HTML template with working examples of every component type, arrow style, and boundary pattern serves as a structural reference. - Use Case: Describe your microservice topology with a load balancer, API servers, and PostgreSQL database, and receive a single HTML file rendering the full system diagram with labeled connections and a legend. ## Quick Start Generate an architecture diagram of my web application with a React frontend, FastAPI backend, and PostgreSQL database, and save it as an HTML file.

Frequently Asked Questions about architecture-diagram

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a cloud architecture diagram without diagramming tools?

Describe your system components and connections, and this Skill generates a standalone HTML file with inline SVG rendering the diagram. Open the file in any browser; it works offline with no external dependencies or accounts.

What types of diagrams can this SVG architecture skill generate?

It handles software system architecture, cloud infrastructure with VPCs and regions, microservice topology, database and API maps, and deployment diagrams. It is not suited for scientific subjects, floor plans, or hand-drawn whiteboard sketches.

Does the generated HTML diagram require internet access or libraries?

The output is a single self-contained HTML file with all CSS and SVG inline and no JavaScript. The only external reference is the JetBrains Mono font from Google Fonts, so it renders offline with a fallback monospace font.

When should I use excalidraw instead of this architecture diagram skill?

Use excalidraw when you want a hand-drawn whiteboard sketch aesthetic. This Skill produces polished dark-themed diagrams with a structured grid and semantic color coding, better suited for formal technical documentation.

How are different component types styled in the diagram?

Each component type uses a semantic color mapping: cyan for frontend, emerald for backend, violet for databases, amber for cloud services, rose for security, and slate for external systems. A legend in the diagram explains the mapping.
