About this skill
Create professional, dark-themed SVG diagrams of any type — architecture diagrams, flowcharts, sequence diagrams, structural diagrams, mind maps, timelines, illustrative/conceptual diagrams, and more. Use this skill whenever the user asks for any kind of technical or conceptual diagram, visualization of a system, process flow, data flow, component relationship, network topology, decision tree, org chart, state machine, or any visual representation of structure/logic/process. Also trigger when the user says "画个图" "画一个架构图" "diagram" "flowchart" "sequence diagram" "draw me a ..." or uploads content and asks to visualize it. Output is always a standalone .svg file.
Diagram Generator
Create professional SVG diagrams across multiple diagram types. All output is a single self-contained .svg file with embedded styles and fonts.

Design System
### Color Palette
Semantic colors for component categories:
| Category | Fill (rgba) | Stroke | Use For |
|----------|-------------|--------|---------|
| Primary | rgba(8, 51, 68, 0.4) | #22d3ee (cyan) | Frontend, user-facing, inputs |
| Secondary | rgba(6, 78, 59, 0.4) | #34d399 (emerald) | Backend, services, processing |
| Tertiary | rgba(76, 29, 149, 0.4) | #a78bfa (violet) | Database, storage, persistence |
| Accent | rgba(120, 53, 15, 0.3) | #fbbf24 (amber) | Cloud, infrastructure, regions |
| Alert | rgba(136, 19, 55, 0.4) | #fb7185 (rose) | Security, errors, warnings |
| Connector | rgba(251, 146, 60, 0.3) | #fb923c (orange) | Buses, queues, middleware |
| Neutral | rgba(30, 41, 59, 0.5) | #94a3b8 (slate) | External, generic, unknown |
| Highlight | rgba(59, 130, 246, 0.3) | #60a5fa (blue) | Active state, focus, current step |
For flowcharts and sequence diagrams, assign colors by role (actor, decision, process) rather than by technology.
### Typography
View full documentation
Use embedded SVG @font-face or system monospace fallback:
<style>
@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=JetBrains+Mono:wght@400;500;600;700&display=swap');
text { font-family: 'JetBrains Mono', 'SF Mono', 'Cascadia Code', monospace; }
</style>
Font sizes by role:
- **Title:** 16px, weight 700
- **Component name:** 11-12px, weight 600
- **Sublabel / description:** 9px, weight 400, color
#94a3b8 - **Annotation / note:** 8px, weight 400
- **Tiny label (on arrows):** 7-8px
### Core Visual Elements
**Background:** #0f172a (slate-900) with subtle grid:
<defs>
<pattern id="grid" width="40" height="40" patternUnits="userSpaceOnUse">
<path d="M 40 0 L 0 0 0 40" fill="none" stroke="#1e293b" stroke-width="0.5"/>
</pattern>
</defs>
<rect width="100%" height="100%" fill="#0f172a"/>
<rect width="100%" height="100%" fill="url(#grid)"/>
**Arrowhead marker (standard):**
<marker id="arrow" markerWidth="10" markerHeight="7" refX="9" refY="3.5" orient="auto">
<polygon points="0 0, 10 3.5, 0 7" fill="#64748b"/>
</marker>
**Arrowhead marker (colored) — create per-color as needed:**
<marker id="arrow-cyan" markerWidth="10" markerHeight="7" refX="9" refY="3.5" orient="auto">
<polygon points="0 0, 10 3.5, 0 7" fill="#22d3ee"/>
</marker>
**Open arrowhead (for async/return messages):**
<marker id="arrow-open" markerWidth="10" markerHeight="7" refX="9" refY="3.5" orient="auto">
<polyline points="0 0, 10 3.5, 0 7" fill="none" stroke="#64748b" stroke-width="1.5"/>
</marker>
### SVG Structure & Layering
Draw elements in this order to get correct z-ordering (SVG paints back-to-front):
1. Background fill + grid pattern
2. Region/group boundaries (dashed outlines)
3. Connection arrows and lines
4. Opaque masking rects (same position as component boxes, fill="#0f172a")
5. Component boxes (semi-transparent fill + stroke)
6. Text labels
7. Legend (bottom-right or bottom area, outside all boundaries)
8. Title block (top-left)
The opaque masking rect trick is essential — semi-transparent component fills will show arrows underneath without it:
<!-- Mask layer: opaque background to hide arrows -->
<rect x="100" y="100" width="160" height="60" rx="6" fill="#0f172a"/>
<!-- Visual layer: styled component -->
<rect x="100" y="100" width="160" height="60" rx="6" fill="rgba(8,51,68,0.4)" stroke="#22d3ee" stroke-width="1.5"/>
<text x="180" y="125" fill="white" font-size="11" font-weight="600" text-anchor="middle">API Gateway</text>
<text x="180" y="141" fill="#94a3b8" font-size="9" text-anchor="middle">Kong / Nginx</text>
### Spacing Rules
These prevent overlapping — follow them strictly:
- **Component box height:** 50-70px (standard), 80-120px (large/complex)
- **Minimum gap between components:** 40px vertical, 30px horizontal
- **Arrow label clearance:** 10px from any box edge
- **Region boundary padding:** 20px inside edges around contained components
- **Legend placement:** At least 20px below the lowest diagram element
- **Title block:** 20px from top-left, outside diagram content area
- **viewBox:** Always extend to fit all content + 30px padding on all sides
### Component Patterns
**Standard box (service/process):**
<rect x="X" y="Y" width="160" height="60" rx="6" fill="#0f172a"/>
<rect x="X" y="Y" width="160" height="60" rx="6" fill="FILL" stroke="STROKE" stroke-width="1.5"/>
<text x="CX" y="Y+24" fill="white" font-size="11" font-weight="600" text-anchor="middle">Name</text>
<text x="CX" y="Y+40" fill="#94a3b8" font-size="9" text-anchor="middle">description</text>
**Decision diamond (flowchart):**
<g transform="translate(CX, CY)">
<polygon points="0,-35 50,0 0,35 -50,0" fill="#0f172a"/>
<polygon points="0,-35 50,0 0,35 -50,0" fill="rgba(120,53,15,0.3)" stroke="#fbbf24" stroke-width="1.5"/>
<text y="4" fill="white" font-size="10" font-weight="600" text-anchor="middle">Condition?</text>
</g>

<text x="60" y="40" fill="white" font-size="11" font-weight="600" text-anchor="middle">PostgreSQL</text>
</g>
**Region boundary:**
<rect x="X" y="Y" width="W" height="H" rx="12" fill="none" stroke="#fbbf24" stroke-width="1" stroke-dasharray="8,4"/>
<text x="X+12" y="Y+16" fill="#fbbf24" font-size="9" font-weight="600">AWS us-east-1</text>
**Security group:**
<rect x="X" y="Y" width="W" height="H" rx="8" fill="none" stroke="#fb7185" stroke-width="1" stroke-dasharray="4,4"/>
<text x="X+10" y="Y+14" fill="#fb7185" font-size="8" font-weight="500">VPC / Security Group</text>
