Agent skill for Claude, Codex, and opencode that turns a plain-English description into a polished, themeable architecture diagram in a single HTML file.

Key features

  • Prompt-to-Diagram: Describe your system in English and get a polished technical diagram back.
  • Multiple Diagram Types: Handles architecture, workflow, sequence, data-flow, lifecycle, CI/CD, and state-machine diagrams.
  • Single-File HTML Output: Diagrams are self-contained HTML files you can open, share, or embed anywhere.
  • Dark / Light Theme Toggle: One-click theme toggle inside the diagram, with the choice persisted across sessions.
  • Multi-Format Export: Copy PNG to clipboard plus download as PNG, JPEG, WebP, or SVG at up to 4x source resolution.
  • Semantic Tech Labels: Recognizes labels like aws.lambda, postgres, redis, github-actions, openai and maps them to the right visual category without a manual icon library.
  • Multi-Agent Compatibility: Installs as a skill for Claude, Codex CLI, and opencode with a single command.

Best for

  • System Design Sketches: Turn a rough design description into a shareable architecture diagram in minutes.
  • Runbook & Incident Docs: Generate sequence and data-flow diagrams for runbooks and incident reviews on the fly.
  • CI/CD Documentation: Draw pipeline and workflow diagrams from an English description of your build/deploy flow.
  • Onboarding Materials: Produce lifecycle and request-chain diagrams to onboard new engineers to a service.
  • Slide-Ready Visuals: Export high-resolution PNG or SVG diagrams straight from your agent for decks and blog posts.

Code Graph RAG

Multi-language monorepo RAG: Tree-sitter parses your codebase into a Memgraph knowledge graph so you can query, edit, and refactor in plain English.

Key features

  • Multi-Language Graph Ingest: Tree-sitter parses Python, TypeScript, TSX, JavaScript, Rust, Go, Java, C, C++, C#, PHP, Lua, and Dart into a single language-agnostic Memgraph schema.
  • Natural-Language Cypher: The interactive CLI turns plain-English questions into Cypher queries and answers grounded in the real code structure, not vector-only guesses.
  • AST-Based Surgical Editing: The agent edits code through structural patches with a diff preview before any change is applied.
  • Structural Search & Replace: ast-grep is exposed as an agent tool, so you match and rewrite by AST pattern across the whole codebase instead of regex.
  • Pluggable ast-grep Tier: Add a new language from a single YAML pattern file — Ruby was added this way with Module/Function/Class nodes plus import edges.
  • Data-Flow Tracing: FLOWS_TO taint edges follow values through assignments, function calls, and I/O sinks across C, Java, C#, and Go.
  • Dead-Code Detection: Walk call and reference edges from entry points to find functions and modules nothing reaches.
  • Shared Graph Across Projects: Index many repos into one shared graph and query across them; a `clean` subcommand resets from scratch with confirmation.

Best for

  • Monorepo Q&A: Ask 'where is refund logic in this monorepo?' and get grounded answers from a graph of the real code, not stale docs.
  • AI-Assisted Refactoring: Rename or restructure APIs across languages with AST patches and a diff preview before commit.
  • Cross-Language Data-Flow Audits: Trace a value through assignments and function calls to see where sensitive data ends up.
  • Dead-Code Cleanup: Find unreachable functions and modules by walking call edges from entry points.
  • Codebase Onboarding: Give a new engineer or agent a queryable graph they can explore in natural language.
  • Structural Migrations: Use ast-grep to rewrite deprecated patterns (imports, error handling, config lookups) across a polyglot codebase.
