Does this skill require external software?

Yes, it uses the Mermaid CLI (mmdc) via npx to render and validate SVGs. You will need Node.js installed on your system to generate the visual files.

What types of diagrams can it create?

It supports high-level Architecture maps, module-to-module Dependency graphs, logic Flow charts for functions, and Entity-Relationship (ER) diagrams for database schemas.

What happens if the Mermaid syntax is invalid?

The skill includes a built-in validation loop that reads error messages from the renderer and automatically fixes the syntax until a successful SVG is generated.

Can I use these diagrams in my GitHub README?

Absolutely! The skill generates both Mermaid code blocks and validated SVG files which are ready to be embedded in GitHub, Notion, or any Markdown-based documentation.

How does it ensure the diagrams are accurate?

The skill performs a structured analysis of your project's directory, configuration files, and imports to ensure nodes and edges reflect real code relationships rather than assumptions.

학습 및 문서화

Generates and validates Mermaid architecture, dependency, flow, and entity-relationship diagrams directly from your source code.

Diagram Expert is a specialized Claude Code skill designed to visualize complex codebases by automatically generating accurate Mermaid diagrams. It meticulously analyzes directory structures, tech stacks, and import relationships to create high-level architecture maps, module dependency graphs, function logic flows, and ER diagrams. Unlike basic generators, it includes a mandatory validation loop using the Mermaid CLI to ensure every diagram is syntactically correct and exported as a production-ready SVG file, making it ideal for READMEs, documentation, and pull request reviews.
