Mermaid Diagram Skill

Generate well-structured, colorful diagrams using Mermaid syntax. Produces both editable source files and rendered PNGs.

When to Use

Activate when the user mentions any of:

"diagram", "flowchart", "chart", "schema", "visualization"
"architecture", "system design", "overview"
"ER diagram", "database schema", "entity relationship"
"sequence diagram", "API flow", "request flow"
"state machine", "state diagram", "lifecycle"
"class diagram", "UML", "inheritance"
"gantt", "timeline", "project plan", "roadmap"
"pie chart", "breakdown", "distribution"
"mindmap", "brainstorm map", "concept map"
"git flow", "branching strategy", "git graph"
"C4 diagram", "system context", "container diagram"
"kanban", "board", "workflow board"
"org chart", "hierarchy"

Prerequisites

Mermaid CLI renders diagrams to PNG/SVG:

npx --yes @mermaid-js/mermaid-cli -i input.mmd -o output.png -b white --scale 2

Auto-installs via npx on first use. No setup required.

Workflow

Determine the best diagram type for the user's request (see Decision Guide below)
Create <name>.mmd file with Mermaid syntax
Render: npx --yes @mermaid-js/mermaid-cli -i <name>.mmd -o <name>.png -b white --scale 2
Show the PNG to the user via Read tool
If user wants a markdown doc, also create .md with embedded ```mermaid blocks

Always produce both: <name>.mmd (editable source) + <name>.png (rendered image)

Diagram Types & Syntax Reference

1. Flowchart (most common)

Direction: TD (top-down), LR (left-right), BT (bottom-top), RL (right-left)

Node shapes:

A["Rectangle"]          B("Rounded")         C(["Stadium"])
D[["Subroutine"]]       E[("Cylinder/DB")]   F(("Circle"))
G>"Asymmetric"]         H{"Diamond"}         I{{"Hexagon"}}
J[/"Parallelogram"/]    K[\"Parallelogram"\]

Link types:

A --> B                  %% Arrow
A --- B                  %% Line (no arrow)
A -->|"label"| B         %% Arrow with label
A -.-> B                 %% Dotted arrow
A ==> B                  %% Thick arrow
A <--> B                 %% Bidirectional
A --x B                  %% Cross end
A --o B                  %% Circle end

Example:

flowchart TD
    START(["Start"]) --> INPUT["User Input"]
    INPUT --> VALIDATE{"Valid?"}
    VALIDATE -->|Yes| PROCESS["Process Data"]
    VALIDATE -->|No| ERROR["Show Error"]
    ERROR --> INPUT
    PROCESS --> DB[("Database")]
    DB --> RESPONSE["Return Response"]
    RESPONSE --> END(["End"])

    style START fill:#a7f3d0,stroke:#047857
    style END fill:#a7f3d0,stroke:#047857
    style ERROR fill:#fee2e2,stroke:#dc2626
    style VALIDATE fill:#fef3c7,stroke:#b45309
    style DB fill:#dbeafe,stroke:#1e40af

2. Sequence Diagram

Participant types: participant (box), actor (stick figure) Arrow types: ->> (solid), -->> (dashed), -x (cross), -) (async) Activation: activate/deactivate or +/- shorthand Features: Note, loop, alt/else, opt, par, critical, break, rect (highlight)

sequenceDiagram
    actor U as User
    participant FE as Frontend
    participant API as API Server
    participant DB as Database
    participant CACHE as Redis Cache

    U->>+FE: Click "Load Data"
    FE->>+API: GET /api/data
    API->>CACHE: Check cache
    alt Cache hit
        CACHE-->>API: Return cached data
    else Cache miss
        API->>+DB: SELECT * FROM items
        DB-->>-API: Result set
        API->>CACHE: Store in cache (TTL: 5m)
    end
    API-->>-FE: JSON response
    FE-->>-U: Render table

    Note over API,CACHE: Cache reduces DB load by ~80%

3. Entity-Relationship (ER) Diagram

Relationship types:

||--||   exactly one to exactly one
||--o{   exactly one to zero or more
}|--|{   one or more to one or more
}o--o{   zero or more to zero or more

erDiagram
    USER ||--o{ ORDER : places
    USER {
        int id PK
        string email UK
        string name
        string password_hash
        datetime created_at
    }
    ORDER ||--|{ ORDER_ITEM : contains
    ORDER {
        int id PK
        int user_id FK
        string status
        decimal total
        datetime created_at
    }
    PRODUCT ||--o{ ORDER_ITEM : "ordered in"
    PRODUCT {
        int id PK
        string name
        string sku UK
        decimal price
        int stock
    }
    ORDER_ITEM {
        int id PK
        int order_id FK
        int product_id FK
        int quantity
        decimal unit_price
    }
    CATEGORY ||--o{ PRODUCT : contains
    CATEGORY {
        int id PK
        string name
        int parent_id FK
    }

Styling Syntax

Individual nodes:

style NODE_ID fill:#color,stroke:#color,stroke-width:2px

Class-based (reusable):

classDef primary fill:#dbeafe,stroke:#1e40af,stroke-width:2px
classDef error fill:#fee2e2,stroke:#dc2626,stroke-width:2px
class NodeA,NodeB primary
class ErrorNode error

Subgraph styling:

style SubgraphName fill:#dbeafe,stroke:#1e40af,stroke-width:2px

Design Rules

Flowcharts & Block Diagrams:

Always style nodes — never leave default gray. Use semantic colors.
Always label arrows — describe the relationship/action.
Use subgraphs for logical grouping.
Direction: LR for processes, TD for hierarchies.
Quote labels with brackets: A["My Label"].
Max 15-20 nodes per diagram — split if larger.
Start/end: stadium shapes (["Start"]). DBs: cylinder [("DB")]. Decisions: diamond {"Q?"}.

Sequence Diagrams: 8. Use actor for humans, participant for systems. 9. Activation bars (+/-) for request-response pairs. 10. Use alt/opt/par/loop for conditional/parallel/repeated logic.

All Diagrams: 11. Use <br/> for multiline — max 3 lines per node. 12. Add accTitle and accDescr for accessibility (screen readers). 13. Don't rely on color alone — combine with shapes, line styles, and labels.

Accessibility

Add to any diagram for screen reader support:

accTitle: Descriptive title of the diagram
accDescr: Brief description of what the diagram shows

Example:

flowchart TD
    accTitle: User Authentication Flow
    accDescr: Shows login, validation, and session creation steps
    A["Login"] --> B{"Valid?"}
    B -->|Yes| C["Create Session"]
    B -->|No| D["Show Error"]
