mermaid-architect-guideDesign complex multi-diagram architectures using advanced Mermaid syntax
Mermaid Architect Guide is an agent skill from wentorai/research-plugins. Design complex multi-diagram architectures using advanced Mermaid syntax
Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Development, covering Diagrams. It works with Mermaid. The repository describes itself as: 350+ academic research skills, MCP configs, and plugins for Research-Claw and AI agents. The licence is MIT.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit bf44b3c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Mermaid Architect Guide loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 24 tokens; SKILL.md has 294 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.
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.

.claude/skills/mermaid-architect-guide/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder).Design complex, multi-view system architectures and research infrastructure diagrams using advanced Mermaid features including C4 diagrams, hand-drawn rendering mode, subgraph nesting, and theme customization.
While basic Mermaid flowcharts are widely known, Mermaid's advanced capabilities enable sophisticated architectural documentation that rivals dedicated tools like Structurizr or Draw.io. This skill focuses on the architectural use cases that matter most to research teams: depicting multi-layer systems, data pipelines, deployment topologies, and complex experimental workflows.
Mermaid v11+ introduced a hand-drawn rendering mode (via the handDrawn look) that produces a sketch-like aesthetic similar to Excalidraw but with the convenience of text-based Markdown embedding. This makes it ideal for research proposals and informal documentation where a polished diagram would feel premature.
Research software systems often involve intricate interactions between data sources, processing pipelines, ML models, and visualization layers. The C4 model support in Mermaid allows teams to document these systems at multiple levels of abstraction -- from high-level context diagrams down to detailed component views -- all in version-controlled Markdown files.

Design complex multi-diagram architectures using advanced Mermaid syntax. Mermaid Architect Guide is an agent skill from wentorai/research-plugins.
Mermaid Architect Guide fits situations like: tasks that involve Diagrams.
Run `npx skills add wentorai/research-plugins --skill mermaid-architect-guide -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/tools/diagram/mermaid-architect-guide in wentorai/research-plugins) into .claude/skills/mermaid-architect-guide in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add wentorai/research-plugins --skill mermaid-architect-guide -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/tools/diagram/mermaid-architect-guide in wentorai/research-plugins) into .agents/skills/mermaid-architect-guide in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add wentorai/research-plugins --skill mermaid-architect-guide -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/mermaid-architect-guide, .gemini/skills/mermaid-architect-guide, .github/skills/mermaid-architect-guide and .opencode/skills/mermaid-architect-guide in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Mermaid Architect Guide needs the command-line tools its instructions call (npm). Our summary lists: Node.js.
SKILL.md names 4 domains. As links in the text: mermaid.js.org, c4model.com, github.com and mermaid.live. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Mermaid Architect Guide is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.8k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 7.3k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
