speckit-learn-diagrams

Mermaid diagrams are generated by reading speckit planning artifacts like plan.md and spec.md to produce component, system design, and software architecture visualizations. This helps engineers internalize project structure before implementation begins.

The best way to visualize software architecture from a plan.md file is by generating Mermaid-based diagrams that map project constraints and data models. This creates readable architecture files reflecting decisions documented in the planning artifacts.

System design diagrams are needed after planning artifacts like plan.md exist and before implementation starts. Visualizing the architecture at this stage helps the team spot dependencies and align on the design before coding begins.

Component diagrams can be generated from data-model.md and contracts files. The diagram generation process infers scope decisions from these planning artifacts to map relationships and constraints into a readable Mermaid visualization.

Generating Mermaid architecture diagrams from speckit artifacts requires no specific external dependencies. The process utilizes existing planning files like plan.md and learn.md to output markdown files containing the visual diagrams in the feature directory.

Speckit planning artifacts scattered across docs often lack visual context, making software design hard to internalize. Generating Mermaid diagrams maps relationships and architecture constraints into readable visual files, solving this comprehension gap.
