--- name: diagram version: 1.0.0 description: | Turn an English description (or mermaid source) into a diagram triplet: the source, an editable .excalidraw file you can open on excalidraw.com, and rendered SVG + PNG (clean mermaid style; the .excalidraw carries the hand-drawn aesthetic). Fully offline. Use when asked to "make a diagram", "draw the architecture", "create a flowchart", "diagram this", or "visualize this flow". (gstack) allowed-tools: - Bash - Read - Write - AskUserQuestion triggers: - make a diagram - draw a diagram - create a flowchart - diagram this - visualize this flow - architecture diagram --- {{PREAMBLE}} # /diagram — English in, editable diagram out Every run emits a **triplet**, never a dead pixel dump: | Artifact | What it's for | |---|---| | `.mmd` | the mermaid source — the LLM-friendly interchange format | | `.excalidraw` | editable scene — open it at excalidraw.com, move a box, keep working | | `.svg` + `.png` | crisp vector for docs + raster for chat/issues/READMEs | Rendering is fully offline via the diagram-render bundle in the browse daemon (`lib/diagram-render/dist/diagram-render.html`). No CDN, no network. ## Step 1 — Author the diagram Write mermaid for the user's request. Rules: - **Flowcharts (`graph LR`/`graph TD`)** are the sweet spot: they convert to a fully editable excalidraw scene. Prefer `graph LR` for pipelines/flows, `graph TD` for hierarchies. - Sequence, state, gantt, and other mermaid types render to SVG/PNG fine, but the official converter only supports flowcharts — for those types the `.excalidraw` artifact is skipped and you MUST tell the user: "sequence diagrams render but aren't excalidraw-editable yet (upstream converter limitation — flowcharts are)." - Keep node labels short; put detail in edge labels. 5-15 nodes is the readable range. If the user's ask needs more, split into multiple diagrams and say why. Decide the output directory: `./diagrams/` when the cwd is a git repo (artifacts the user can commit), else `/tmp/gstack-diagrams/`. Derive `` from the diagram's subject (kebab-case, ≤40 chars). ## Step 2 — Stage the render bundle (once per session) The staged copy is content-addressed (same convention as make-pdf's pre-pass), so concurrent sessions and mixed gstack versions never clobber each other: ```bash BUNDLE="" for c in "$HOME/.claude/skills/gstack/lib/diagram-render/dist/diagram-render.html" \ "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null)/lib/diagram-render/dist/diagram-render.html"; do [ -f "$c" ] && BUNDLE="$c" && break done [ -z "$BUNDLE" ] && echo "BUNDLE_MISSING — run: cd ~/.claude/skills/gstack && bun run build:diagram-render" && exit 1 SHA=$(shasum -a 256 "$BUNDLE" | cut -c1-16) STAGED="/tmp/gstack-diagram-render-$SHA.html" [ -f "$STAGED" ] && shasum -a 256 "$STAGED" | grep -q "^$SHA" || { cp "$BUNDLE" "$STAGED.$$" && mv "$STAGED.$$" "$STAGED"; } TAB=$($B newtab --json | sed -n 's/.*"tabId":\s*\([0-9]*\).*/\1/p') [ -z "$TAB" ] && echo "TAB_OPEN_FAILED — daemon busy? check browse status" && exit 1 $B load-html "$STAGED" --tab-id "$TAB" $B wait '#done' --tab-id "$TAB" echo "RENDER_TAB_READY: tab $TAB" ``` Remember `$TAB` — **every** `$B js` / `$B wait` / `$B closetab` below MUST pass `--tab-id $TAB`. Without it, calls hit whatever tab is active, which may be a live /qa or /scrape session sharing the daemon. If `BUNDLE_MISSING`: stop and show the user the build command. Do not improvise a CDN fallback — offline is the contract. ## Step 3 — Render the triplet Write the mermaid source to `/.mmd` first (Write tool). The page cannot read files itself, so ship the source in via **base64** — never splice file contents into a JS template literal (backticks, `${`, and backslashes in the source would be interpreted and corrupt it): ```bash # SVG (always). atob() decodes the base64 inside the page. $B js --tab-id "$TAB" "window.__renderMermaid('diagram-1', atob('$(base64 < /.mmd | tr -d '\n')')).then(s => { window.__svg = s; return 'SVG OK ' + s.length })" $B js --tab-id "$TAB" "window.__svg" --out /.svg # PNG at 300dpi of a 6.5in placement (1950px) $B js --tab-id "$TAB" "window.__rasterize(window.__svg, 1950)" --out /.png # Editable scene (flowcharts only) $B js --tab-id "$TAB" "window.__mermaidToExcalidraw(atob('$(base64 < /.mmd | tr -d '\n')')).then(j => { window.__scene = j; return 'SCENE OK ' + JSON.parse(j).elements.length + ' elements' })" $B js --tab-id "$TAB" "window.__scene" --out /.excalidraw ``` Note: `atob()` yields Latin-1; for sources with non-ASCII labels use `decodeURIComponent(escape(atob('…')))` to recover UTF-8 exactly. If the mermaid render returns an error, show the parse error to the user, fix the mermaid, and retry — do not hand the user a broken source file. If `__mermaidToExcalidraw` fails on a non-flowchart type, skip the `.excalidraw` artifact and deliver the rest with the limitation note from Step 1. ## Step 4 — Show and deliver 1. Read the PNG with the Read tool so the user sees the diagram inline. 2. List the triplet paths. 3. One-line editability note: "The `.excalidraw` file opens at excalidraw.com (File → Open) — edit it there and I can re-render from the edited scene." 4. If the user wants changes, edit the `.mmd` source and re-run Step 3 — the source is the single source of truth. Re-rendering an EDITED `.excalidraw` (user round-trip): load the scene file and export without touching the mermaid — base64 transport again, since scene JSON is full of quotes and backslashes: ```bash $B js --tab-id "$TAB" "window.__excalidrawToSvg(atob('$(base64 < /.excalidraw | tr -d '\n')')).then(s => { window.__svg = s; return 'OK' })" $B js --tab-id "$TAB" "window.__svg" --out /.svg $B js --tab-id "$TAB" "window.__rasterize(window.__svg, 1950)" --out /.png ``` ## Rules - **Never ship the triplet without rendering it.** A `.mmd` file alone is not a diagram. If rendering is impossible (bundle missing, browse down), say so and stop. - **Cleanup:** close the render tab when the conversation's diagram work is done (`$B closetab $TAB`), not between diagrams. - For diagrams destined for a PDF: remind the user that `make-pdf` renders ` ```mermaid ` fences natively — embedding the `.mmd` in their markdown is better than embedding the PNG. ## Completion status - DONE — triplet (or SVG/PNG pair + limitation note) delivered and shown. - BLOCKED — bundle or browse unavailable; build/setup command surfaced.
