What this skill does

# Diagram Maker

Create diagrams as artifacts, not prose. Choose one output mode:

- `clean-svg`: educational concepts, physical systems, processes, lifecycle, simple data flow.
- `architecture-svg`: software/cloud/infra topology, services, databases, queues, trust zones.
- `excalidraw`: editable hand-drawn whiteboard, flowchart, sequence, architecture sketch.

Routing

- User wants editable/collaborative: choose Excalidraw.
- User wants polished standalone browser output: choose SVG/HTML.
- Software architecture with infra components: choose architecture SVG.
- Science, product, process, concept map, physical object: choose clean SVG.
- Unsure: ask one short question only if output format matters; otherwise choose clean SVG.

Workflow

1. Extract nodes, groups, labels, and directed relationships.
2. Pick layout first: left-to-right, top-down, hub-spoke, swimlanes, layered stack, sequence.
3. Keep labels short. Prefer 5-9 main elements over dense diagrams.
4. Generate the file at the requested path, or `./diagram.html` / `./diagram.excalidraw`.
5. Verify syntax by opening/parsing when feasible.

SVG/HTML rules

- Single standalone `.html` file with inline CSS and inline SVG.
- No external fonts, JS, images, gradients, glows, decorative blobs, or remote assets.
- Use semantic colors, not rainbow sequences: neutral, input, process, storage, external, risk.
- Draw connectors before nodes so arrows sit behind boxes.
- Every connector path has `fill="none"` and a marker arrow when directed.
- Leave 24px text padding inside boxes; do not let text touch borders.
- Legend only when symbols/colors are not obvious.

SVG template

Use `references/svg-template.md` as the wrapper and replace ``.

Excalidraw rules

- Save `.excalidraw` JSON with `type`, `version`, `source`, `elements`, and `appState`.
- Use bound text for shape labels. Do not use a nonstandard `label` property.
- Keep bound text immediately after its container in the elements array.
- Minimum labeled shape: 120x60. Minimum body text: 16px.
- Use roughness `1`, `fontFamily: 1`, and simple fills.

For exact Excalidraw element snippets, read `references/excalidraw-patterns.md`.

tanstack-query

Included

Manage server state in React with TanStack Query v5. Set up queries with useQuery, mutations with useMutation, configure QueryClient caching strategies, implement optimistic updates, and handle infinite scroll with useInfiniteQuery. Use when: setting up data fetching in React projects, migrating from v4 to v5, or fixing object syntax required errors, query callbacks removed issues, cacheTime renamed to gcTime, isPending vs isLoading confusion, keepPreviousData removed problems.

Included

Process documents with Nutrient DWS. Use when the user wants to generate PDFs from HTML or URLs, convert Office/images/PDFs, assemble or split packets, OCR scans, extract text/tables/key-value pairs, redact PII, watermark, sign, fill forms, optimize PDFs, or produce compliance outputs like PDF/A or PDF/UA. Triggers include convert to PDF, merge these PDFs, OCR this scan, extract tables, redact PII, sign this PDF, make this PDF/A, or linearize for web delivery.
