What it does
09 Mermaid is an agent skill from ai-driven-dev/framework. Generate a valid Mermaid diagram from a written source through a plan, generate, review loop. Use when the user wants to turn an architecture, lifecycle, or flow into a Mermaid diagram. Not for other diagram formats or image rendering.
Its SKILL.md is about 350 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `actions/01-mermaid.md` and `references/mermaid-conventions.md`).
It sits in Development, covering Diagrams. It works with Mermaid. The repository describes itself as: Marketplace Framework AI-Driven Dev : Context Engineering, Plugins, Agents, Skills, Hooks, Templates, SDLC. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- The user wants to turn an architecture
- Flow into a Mermaid diagram
Example prompts
- “/09-mermaid”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6e30640. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
09 Mermaid loads about 347 tokens when it runs, and up to ~755 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 129 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Mermaid
Produces a valid, structured Mermaid diagram from a written source by planning it, confirming the plan, generating, and offering a review.
Actions
| # | Action | Role | Input |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | mermaid | Plan, confirm, generate, and review one diagram | a written source |
Run action 01 and run its ## Test before trusting the result.
Before running an action, read its file in actions/, not only the table or assets.
Transversal rules
- Plan before generating, and confirm the plan with the user. Block on the answer.
- Generate only what the confirmed plan holds. Never add a node or a relationship the user did not confirm.
- Follow the project's Mermaid conventions for every diagram.
- Output the diagram as a fenced block, never describe it in prose.
References
