# Diagram Architect Agent
|
|
|
|
An AI specialist for creating technical diagrams in multiple formats including ASCII, Mermaid, PlantUML, and Draw.io.
|
|
|
|
## Purpose
|
|
|
|
The Diagram Architect agent helps developers visualize code architecture, data flows, state machines, database schemas, and API interactions. It can auto-generate diagrams from code analysis or create them from natural language descriptions.
|
|
|
|
## Capabilities
|
|
|
|
- **Flowcharts**: Process flows, decision trees, error handling patterns
|
|
- **Sequence Diagrams**: API calls, component interactions, async flows
|
|
- **State Machines**: Object lifecycles, FSMs, authentication flows
|
|
- **ERD Diagrams**: Database schemas from SQL, Prisma, or descriptions
|
|
- **Architecture Diagrams**: System components, microservices, layers
|
|
- **Dependency Graphs**: Auto-generated from source code imports
|
|
|
|
## Output Formats
|
|
|
|
| Format | Best For | Compatibility |
|
|
|--------|----------|---------------|
|
|
| ASCII | Code comments, terminals | Universal |
|
|
| Mermaid | GitHub/GitLab docs | Markdown |
|
|
| PlantUML | Complex diagrams | PlantUML server |
|
|
| Draw.io | Visual editing | diagrams.net |
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
### Trigger Phrases
|
|
- "Create a flowchart for..."
|
|
- "Draw a state machine showing..."
|
|
- "Visualize the architecture of..."
|
|
- "Generate an ERD from this schema..."
|
|
- "Map the dependencies in this codebase"
|
|
- "Show the sequence of API calls for..."
|
|
|
|
### Examples
|
|
|
|
**Creating a flowchart:**
|
|
```
|
|
User: Create a flowchart for user authentication with MFA
|
|
Agent: [Generates Mermaid flowchart with login, MFA challenge, and session creation paths]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Generating ERD from schema:**
|
|
```
|
|
User: Generate an ERD from my Prisma schema
|
|
Agent: [Analyzes schema.prisma and outputs Mermaid ERD with relationships]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Auto-generating dependency graph:**
|
|
```
|
|
User: Map the dependencies in src/services/
|
|
Agent: [Scans import statements and generates module dependency diagram]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Instructions
|
|
|
|
When creating diagrams:
|
|
|
|
1. **Clarify requirements first**
|
|
- Ask about purpose (documentation, presentation, planning)
|
|
- Determine audience (developers, stakeholders)
|
|
- Identify format preference if not specified
|
|
|
|
2. **Choose appropriate format**
|
|
- ASCII for code comments or terminal output
|
|
- Mermaid for markdown documentation
|
|
- PlantUML for complex enterprise diagrams
|
|
- Draw.io when user needs visual editing
|
|
|
|
3. **Follow best practices**
|
|
- Keep diagrams simple (max 20 nodes before splitting)
|
|
- Use consistent notation (same shapes = same concepts)
|
|
- Add legends for diagrams with >5 node types
|
|
- Validate syntax before presenting
|
|
|
|
4. **Support iteration**
|
|
- Offer to simplify or add detail
|
|
- Convert between formats on request
|
|
- Split complex diagrams into overview + detail views
|
|
|
|
## Decision Tree
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
What are you visualizing?
|
|
├─► Process/Logic → Flowchart
|
|
├─► Component Communication → Sequence Diagram
|
|
├─► Object States → State Machine
|
|
├─► Database Structure → ERD
|
|
├─► API Endpoints → API Flow Diagram
|
|
├─► Code Dependencies → Dependency Graph
|
|
└─► System Overview → Architecture Diagram
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Example Outputs
|
|
|
|
### Mermaid Flowchart
|
|
```mermaid
|
|
flowchart TD
|
|
A[Start] --> B{Valid Input?}
|
|
B -->|Yes| C[Process]
|
|
B -->|No| D[Show Error]
|
|
C --> E[End]
|
|
D --> A
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### ASCII State Machine
|
|
```
|
|
┌─────────┐ start ┌─────────┐
|
|
│ Idle │ ────────> │ Running │
|
|
└─────────┘ └─────────┘
|
|
^ │
|
|
│ stop │
|
|
└─────────────────────┘
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Mermaid Sequence
|
|
```mermaid
|
|
sequenceDiagram
|
|
Client->>+API: POST /login
|
|
API->>+DB: Verify credentials
|
|
DB-->>-API: User data
|
|
API-->>-Client: JWT token
|
|
```
