description: Create professional, dark-themed SVG diagrams of any type — architecture diagrams, flowcharts, sequence diagrams, structural diagrams, mind maps, timelines, illustrative/conceptual diagrams, and more. Use this skill whenever the user asks for any kind of technical or conceptual diagram, visualization of a system, process flow, data flow, component relationship, network topology, decision tree, org chart, state machine, or any visual representation of structure/logic/process. Also trigger when the user says "画个图" "画一个架构图" "diagram" "flowchart" "sequence diagram" "draw me a ..." or uploads content and asks to visualize it. Output is always a standalone .svg file.

# Diagram Generator
Create professional SVG diagrams across multiple diagram types. All output is a single self-contained `.svg` file with embedded styles and fonts.
## Supported Diagram Types
| Type | When to Use | Key Characteristics |
|------|-------------|-------------------|
| **Architecture** | System components & relationships | Grouped boxes, connection arrows, region boundaries |
| **Flowchart** | Decision logic, process steps | Diamond decisions, rounded step boxes, directional flow |
| **Sequence** | Time-ordered interactions between actors | Vertical lifelines, horizontal messages, activation bars |
| **Structural** | Class diagrams, ER diagrams, org charts | Compartmented boxes, typed relationships (inheritance, composition) |
| **Mind Map** | Brainstorming, topic exploration | Central node, radiating branches, organic layout |
| **Timeline** | Chronological events | Horizontal/vertical axis, event markers, period spans |
| **Illustrative** | Conceptual explanations, comparisons | Free-form layout, icons, annotations, visual metaphors |
| **State Machine** | State transitions, lifecycle | Rounded state nodes, labeled transitions, start/end markers |
| **Data Flow** | Data transformation pipelines | Process bubbles, data stores, external entities |
## Design System
### Color Palette
Semantic colors for component categories:
| Category | Fill (rgba) | Stroke | Use For |
|----------|-------------|--------|---------|
| Primary | `rgba(8, 51, 68, 0.4)` | `#22d3ee` (cyan) | Frontend, user-facing, inputs |
| Secondary | `rgba(6, 78, 59, 0.4)` | `#34d399` (emerald) | Backend, services, processing |
| Tertiary | `rgba(76, 29, 149, 0.4)` | `#a78bfa` (violet) | Database, storage, persistence |
| Accent | `rgba(120, 53, 15, 0.3)` | `#fbbf24` (amber) | Cloud, infrastructure, regions |
| Alert | `rgba(136, 19, 55, 0.4)` | `#fb7185` (rose) | Security, errors, warnings |
| Connector | `rgba(251, 146, 60, 0.3)` | `#fb923c` (orange) | Buses, queues, middleware |
| Neutral | `rgba(30, 41, 59, 0.5)` | `#94a3b8` (slate) | External, generic, unknown |
| Highlight | `rgba(59, 130, 246, 0.3)` | `#60a5fa` (blue) | Active state, focus, current step |
For flowcharts and sequence diagrams, assign colors by role (actor, decision, process) rather than by technology.
### Typography
Use embedded SVG `@font-face` or system monospace fallback:
```svg
```
Font sizes by role:
- **Title:** 16px, weight 700
- **Component name:** 11-12px, weight 600
- **Sublabel / description:** 9px, weight 400, color `#94a3b8`
- **Annotation / note:** 8px, weight 400
- **Tiny label (on arrows):** 7-8px
### Core Visual Elements
**Background:** `#0f172a` (slate-900) with subtle grid:
```svg
```
**Arrowhead marker (standard):**
```svg
```
**Arrowhead marker (colored) — create per-color as needed:**
```svg
```
**Open arrowhead (for async/return messages):**
```svg
```
### SVG Structure & Layering
Draw elements in this order to get correct z-ordering (SVG paints back-to-front):
1. Background fill + grid pattern
2. Region/group boundaries (dashed outlines)
3. Connection arrows and lines
4. Opaque masking rects (same position as component boxes, `fill="#0f172a"`)
5. Component boxes (semi-transparent fill + stroke)
6. Text labels
7. Legend (bottom-right or bottom area, outside all boundaries)
8. Title block (top-left)
The opaque masking rect trick is essential — semi-transparent component fills will show arrows underneath without it:
```svg
API GatewayKong / Nginx
```
### Spacing Rules
These prevent overlapping — follow them strictly:
- **Component box height:** 50-70px (standard), 80-120px (large/complex)
- **Minimum gap between components:** 40px vertical, 30px horizontal
- **Arrow label clearance:** 10px from any box edge
- **Region boundary padding:** 20px inside edges around contained components
- **Legend placement:** At least 20px below the lowest diagram element
- **Title block:** 20px from top-left, outside diagram content area
- **viewBox:** Always extend to fit all content + 30px padding on all sides
### Component Patterns
**Standard box (service/process):**
```svg
Namedescription
```
**Decision diamond (flowchart):**
```svg
Condition?
```
**Database cylinder:**
```svg
PostgreSQL
```
**Region boundary:**
```svg
AWS us-east-1
```
**Security group:**
```svg
VPC / Security Group
```
## Type-Specific Layout Guidance
Determine this SKILL.md file's directory path as `{baseDir}`. Read the reference file for the specific diagram type before starting layout. Reference files are located at `{baseDir}/references/` and contain detailed layout algorithms and examples.
### Architecture Diagrams
→ Read `{baseDir}/references/architecture.md`
Key points: left-to-right or top-to-bottom data flow. Group related services in region boundaries. Use buses/connectors between layers. Place databases at the bottom or right.
### Flowcharts
→ Read `{baseDir}/references/flowchart.md`
Key points: top-to-bottom primary flow. Diamonds for decisions with Yes/No labels on exit arrows. Rounded rectangles for start/end. Use the Highlight color for the happy path.
### Sequence Diagrams
→ Read `{baseDir}/references/sequence.md`
Key points: actors as boxes at top, vertical dashed lifelines, horizontal arrows for messages (solid=sync, dashed=return). Time flows downward. Activation bars show processing. Number messages if complex.
### Structural Diagrams
→ Read `{baseDir}/references/structural.md`
Key points: compartmented boxes (name / attributes / methods for class diagrams). Relationship lines: solid with filled diamond=composition, solid with empty diamond=aggregation, dashed arrow=dependency, solid triangle=inheritance.
### Mind Maps
Free-form radiating layout from a central concept. Use organic curves (`` with cubic beziers) for branches. Vary branch colors using the palette. Larger font for central node, decreasing as you go outward.
### Timelines
Horizontal or vertical axis line. Event markers as circles or diamonds on the axis. Description text offset to alternating sides to avoid overlap. Use color to categorize event types.
### State Machines
Rounded-rect states with double-border for composite states. Filled circle for initial state, bullseye for final state. Curved arrows for self-transitions. Label all transitions with `event [guard] / action` format.
## Output Rules
1. Output a **single `.svg` file** — no external dependencies except the Google Fonts import
2. Set `viewBox` to fit all content with 30px padding; do NOT set fixed `width`/`height` attributes (let the SVG scale responsively)
3. Include `xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"` on the root `
