What problem does it solve?
Create accurate, shareable Lucidchart or Lucidspark diagrams directly from a PHP codebase to eliminate manual diagramming, reduce drift between code and docs, and speed design and review cycles.
Core Features & Use Cases
- MCP discovery & authentication: Automatically detect available Lucid MCP tools and verify authentication before creating or updating diagrams.
- Code-driven diagram generation: Research Laravel, Symfony, or plain PHP code to extract controllers, services, models, migrations, and call chains for sequence, flowchart, ERD, class, state, and architecture diagrams.
- Fallback & resilience: Produce a Mermaid markdown fallback if Lucid MCP is unavailable or creation fails, and preserve research outputs to avoid lost work.
- Local tracking & updates: Read configuration from .lucid-diagrams.yaml, respect detail level defaults, and create or update a local index of Lucid documents for the repository.
Quick Start
Ask the skill to create a Lucidchart sequence diagram of the user registration flow by researching the project's controllers, services, and models and then save it to the project's diagrams index.
