What it does

Diagram is an agent skill from n0an/VivaDicta. Create ASCII diagrams representing component architecture, data flow, or codebase structure

Its SKILL.md is about 390 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Development, covering Diagrams. The repository describes itself as: iOS & watchOS speech-to-text app with AI voice keyboard, on-device RAG, and chat with your notes - powered by Apple Foundation Models, WhisperKit, NVIDIA Parakeet, and 20+ AI…. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Diagrams

Example prompts

  • “/diagram”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Use ASCII box drawing characters for clean visuals
  2. Include labels and arrows to show relationships
  3. Keep diagrams readable and well-aligned
  4. Add legend if needed for clarity
  5. Focus on the specific component/area requested

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit db0b602. 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

Diagram loads about 385 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 25 tokens; SKILL.md has 157 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~25
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~385

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.

Instructions

Create a clear ASCII diagram representing the requested component, model, or codebase structure. The user wants to visualize architecture, relationships, or flow.

Guidelines:
  1. Use ASCII box drawing characters for clean visuals
  2. Include labels and arrows to show relationships
  3. Keep diagrams readable and well-aligned
  4. Add legend if needed for clarity
  5. Focus on the specific component/area requested
Diagram Types:
  • Architecture diagrams: Show layers, components, and their relationships
  • Flow diagrams: Illustrate data flow or process sequences
  • Class/Model diagrams: Display properties, methods, and relationships
  • Component diagrams: Show how modules interact
  • State diagrams: Represent state transitions
ASCII Characters to Use:
  • Boxes: ┌ ┐ └ ┘ ─ │ ├ ┤ ┬ ┴ ┼
  • Arrows: → ← ↑ ↓ ↔ ⇒ ⇐
  • Connectors: + - | / \
  • Alternative boxes: +---+ style if Unicode isn't supported
Example Format:
┌─────────────┐
│  Component  │
└──────┬──────┘
       ↓
┌──────┴──────┐
│   Service   │
└─────────────┘

Analyze the codebase structure first, then create the most appropriate diagram type for what's being asked. Include a brief description of what the diagram represents.
