At a glance

Create technical diagrams using Mermaid syntax for architecture, sequences, ERDs, flowcharts, and state machines.

  • Works in 2 steps: Choose the Right Diagram Type → General Mermaid Principles
  • Visualizing system design
  • SKILL.md covers Overview, Instructions, Best Practices and Examples
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Diagramming is an agent skill from ynulihao/AgentSkillOS. Create technical diagrams using Mermaid syntax for architecture, sequences, ERDs, flowcharts, and state machines. Use for visualizing system design, data flows, and processes. Triggers: diagram, mermaid, architecture diagram, sequence diagram, flowchart, ERD, entity relationship, state diagram, C4 model, component diagram, visualize, draw.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.4k 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: Build your agent from 200,000+ skills via skill RETRIEVAL & ORCHESTRATION.

When your agent uses it

  • Visualizing system design
  • Tasks that involve Diagrams

Example prompts

  • “/diagramming”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Choose the Right Diagram Type
  2. General Mermaid Principles

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c3cfae1. 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 (its code samples are mermaid).

    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

Diagramming loads about 2.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 88 tokens; SKILL.md has 189 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~88
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.4k

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 189 words (~2,408 tokens).

“Create clear, maintainable technical diagrams using Mermaid syntax. This skill covers architecture diagrams, sequence diagrams, entity-relationship diagrams, flowcharts, and state diagrams for documenting software systems.”
