SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Create publication-quality diagrams from structured JSON specifications that are guaranteed deterministic, editable, and reusable, reducing manual drawing work and drift.

Core Features & Use Cases

Deterministic: identical SVG output for a given FigureSpec JSON and renderer version.
Editable: SVG is plain text and can be tweaked by hand or programmatically.
No external API: runs fully locally without network access or keys.
Versatile diagrams: supports architecture, workflow, and system topology figures with proper grouping.
Validation: enforces a FigureSpec schema and reports meaningful errors.

Use cases include architectural diagrams for papers, data pipeline visuals for presentations, and topology maps for system documentation.

Quick Start

Provide a FigureSpec JSON file and run the renderer to produce an editable SVG diagram.

Frequently Asked Questions about figure-spec

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

FAQPage Schema

How do I generate deterministic SVG diagrams from JSON for publication?▼

You can generate deterministic SVG diagrams by providing a structured JSON specification, which is validated against a schema to ensure identical, editable vector output for publication-ready figures.

What is the best way to create reproducible architecture diagrams without manual drawing?▼

Creating reproducible architecture diagrams is best handled by defining system topology in a structured JSON specification, which renders into a deterministic and editable SVG without manual drawing.

Does this SVG diagram generation tool require network access or API keys?▼

No, this SVG diagram generation tool runs fully locally without network access or external API keys, ensuring data privacy and offline reproducibility.

Can I use the generated SVG output in LaTeX publishing workflows?▼

Yes, the generated SVG output is scalable vector graphics suitable for LaTeX and other publishing workflows, and it can be edited programmatically or by hand.

How do I validate a JSON specification before rendering an SVG diagram?▼

You validate a JSON specification by running it through the renderer, which enforces a strict schema and reports meaningful errors before producing the SVG diagram output.

Why does my SVG diagram output drift when re-rendering structured JSON?▼

SVG diagram output does not drift because the renderer is deterministic, guaranteeing identical SVG output for a given JSON specification and renderer version across multiple runs.
