Platforms count differently and update at different times.
The workflow writes a .mmd file and uses Mermaid CLI to create PNG, SVG, or PDF output. The card notes that the install instructions request a global unpinned third-party CLI package; prefer a pinned local installation. Review the Mermaid source and rendered diagram before publishing or using it for decisions. Use a working compatible mmdc installation, verify syntax support for that version, run without a PTY, and use controlled temporary/output paths with cleanup when no longer needed.

# Mermaid Diagrams Skill Generate diagrams from text using [Mermaid](https://mermaid.js.org/). ## Requirements - `@mermaid-js/mermaid-cli` (`npm install -g @mermaid-js/mermaid-cli`) ## Usage
1. Write Mermaid syntax to a `.mmd` file
2. Run `mmdc` to render PNG/SVG
3. Return the image to the user
### Basic Command
```bash
mmdc -i input.mmd -o output.png -t dark -b transparent
```
### Options
| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
| `-i` | Input `.mmd` file |
| `-o` | Output file (`.png`, `.svg`, `.pdf`) |
| `-t` | Theme: `default`, `dark`, `forest`, `neutral` |
| `-b` | Background color (`transparent`, hex) |
| `-w` | Width in pixels (default: 800) |
| `-H` | Height in pixels |
| `-s` | Scale factor (default: 1, use 2-3 for high-res) |
| `-c` | Config JSON file for advanced theming |
### Supported Diagram Types
- **Flowchart**: `graph TD` / `graph LR`
- **Sequence**: `sequenceDiagram`
- **Class**: `classDiagram`
- **State**: `stateDiagram-v2`
- **ER**: `erDiagram`
- **Gantt**: `gantt`
- **Pie**: `pie`
- **Mindmap**: `mindmap`
- **Timeline**: `timeline`
- **Git graph**: `gitGraph`
- **Quadrant**: `quadrantChart`
- **Block**: `block-beta`
### Workflow
1. Determine the best diagram type for what the user wants
2. Write the `.mmd` file to `/tmp/mermaid-<name>.mmd`
3. Render: `mmdc -i /tmp/mermaid-<name>.mmd -o /tmp/mermaid-<name>.png -t dark -b transparent -s 2`
4. Show the image to the user via `Read` tool
5. Clean up temp files if not needed
### Example: Architecture Diagram
```mermaid
graph TD
A[Client] -->|HTTPS| B[API Gateway]
B --> C[Auth Service]
B --> D[App Server]
D --> E[(PostgreSQL)]
D --> F[(Redis Cache)]
```
### Example: Sequence Diagram
```mermaid
sequenceDiagram
participant U as User
participant A as API
participant DB as Database
U->>A: POST /login
A->>DB: Validate credentials
DB-->>A: User record
A-->>U: JWT token
```
### Tips
- Use `graph LR` for left-to-right flow, `graph TD` for top-down
- Keep node labels short — detail goes in tooltips or notes
- Use subgraphs to group related components
- For dark backgrounds, use `-t dark -b transparent`
- Scale `-s 2` or `-s 3` for sharp images on retina displays
- **Always use `pty: false`** when calling `mmdc`
### Theming
For custom colors, create a config JSON:
```json
{
"theme": "base",
"themeVariables": {
"primaryColor": "#f59e0b",
"primaryTextColor": "#1a1a1a",
"primaryBorderColor": "#d97706",
"lineColor": "#6b7280",
"secondaryColor": "#10b981",
"tertiaryColor": "#3b82f6"
}
}
```
Then: `mmdc -i input.mmd -o output.png -c config.json`
