Helper Scripts (Recommended)
Four helper scripts in scripts/ directory provide stable SVG generation and validation:
1. generate-diagram.sh - Validate SVG + export PNG
./scripts/generate-diagram.sh -t architecture -s 1 -o ./output/arch.svg
- Validates an existing SVG file
- Exports PNG after validation
- Example:
./scripts/generate-diagram.sh -t architecture -s 1 -o ./output/arch.svg
2. generate-from-template.py - Create starter SVG from template
python3 ./scripts/generate-from-template.py architecture ./output/arch.svg '{"title":"My Diagram","nodes":[],"arrows":[]}'
- Loads a built-in SVG template
- Renders nodes, arrows, and legend entries from JSON input
- Escapes text content to keep output XML-valid
3. validate-svg.sh - Validate SVG syntax
./scripts/validate-svg.sh <svg-file>
- Checks XML syntax
- Verifies tag balance
- Validates marker references
- Checks attribute completeness
- Validates path data
4. test-all-styles.sh - Batch test all styles
./scripts/test-all-styles.sh
- Tests multiple diagram sizes
- Validates all generated SVGs
- Generates test report
When to use scripts:
- Use scripts when generating complex SVGs to avoid syntax errors
- Scripts provide automatic validation and error reporting
- Recommended for production diagrams
When to generate SVG directly:
- Simple diagrams with few elements
- Quick prototypes
- When you need full control over SVG structure
Workflow (Always Follow This Order)
- Classify the diagram type (see Diagram Types below)
- Extract structure — identify layers, nodes, edges, flows, and semantic groups from user description
- Plan layout — apply the layout rules for the diagram type
- Load style reference — load
references/style-1-flat-icon.md as the default only after this skill is selected, unless user specifies another; load the matching references/style-N.md for exact color tokens and SVG patterns
- Map nodes to shapes — use Shape Vocabulary below
- Check icon needs — load
references/icons.md for known products
- Write SVG with adaptive strategy (see SVG Generation Strategy below)
- Validate: Run
rsvg-convert file.svg -o /dev/null 2>&1 to check syntax
- Export PNG:
rsvg-convert -w 1920 file.svg -o file.png
- Report the generated file paths
- (Optional) Visual self-review — if your runtime can read images, load the exported PNG back and inspect it. Syntactic validity does not guarantee visual correctness: arrows may cross through component interiors, labels may collide with lifelines or other labels, boxes may overlap, alt-frame text may sit on top of a message, or a legend may cover content. If you see any of these, revise the SVG and re-export; repeat until the rendered image is clean. Common fixes:
- Route arrows through gaps between boxes, not through box interiors
- Add background rects behind arrow labels (opacity 0.95, matching canvas color)
- Widen inter-row/inter-column gutters so same-layer arrows have clear corridors
- Collapse repeated cross-layer arrows into a single "delegates down" rail outside the content area
- Move legend/notes out of any region where arrows or labels land
- Increase viewBox height/width rather than packing elements tighter
Skip this step silently if image reading is unavailable — do not guess.
Diagram Types & Layout Rules
Architecture Diagram
Nodes = services/components. Group into horizontal layers (top→bottom or left→right).
- Typical layers: Client → Gateway/LB → Services → Data/Storage
- Use
<rect> dashed containers to group related services in the same layer
- Arrow direction follows data/request flow
- ViewBox:
0 0 960 600 standard, 0 0 960 800 for tall stacks
Data Flow Diagram
Emphasizes what data moves where. Focus on data transformation.
- Label every arrow with the data type (e.g., "embeddings", "query", "context")
- Use wider arrows (
stroke-width: 2.5) for primary data paths
- Dashed arrows for control/trigger flows
- Color arrows by data category (not just Agent/RAG — use semantics)
Flowchart / Process Flow
Sequential decision/process steps.
- Top-to-bottom preferred; left-to-right for wide flows
- Diamond shapes for decisions, rounded rects for processes, parallelograms for I/O
- Keep node labels short (≤3 words); put detail in sub-labels
- Align nodes on a grid: x positions snap to 120px intervals, y to 80px
Agent Architecture Diagram
Shows how an AI agent reasons, uses tools, and manages memory.
Key conceptual layers to always consider:
- Input layer: User, query, trigger
- Agent core: LLM, reasoning loop, planner
- Memory layer: Short-term (context window), Long-term (vector/graph DB), Episodic
- Tool layer: Tool calls, APIs, search, code execution
- Output layer: Response, action, side-effects
Use cyclic arrows (loop arcs) to show iterative reasoning. Separate memory types visually.
Memory Architecture Diagram (Mem0, MemGPT-style)
Specialized agent diagram focused on memory operations.
- Show memory write path and read path separately (different arrow colors)
- Memory tiers: Working Memory → Short-term → Long-term → External Store
- Label memory operations:
store(), retrieve(), forget(), consolidate()
- Use stacked rects or layered cylinders for storage tiers
Sequence Diagram
Time-ordered message exchanges between participants.
- Participants as vertical lifelines (top labels + vertical dashed lines)
- Messages as horizontal arrows between lifelines, top-to-bottom time order
- Activation boxes (thin filled rects on lifeline) show active processing
- Group with
<rect> loop/alt frames with label in top-left corner
- ViewBox height = 80 + (num_messages × 50)
Comparison / Feature Matrix
Side-by-side comparison of approaches, systems, or components.
- Column headers = systems, row headers = attributes

#dcfce7) + ✓ checkmark; unsupported: #f9fafb fill
- Alternating row fills (
#f9fafb / #ffffff) for readability
- Max readable columns: 5; beyond that, split into two diagrams
Timeline / Gantt

- ViewBox:
0 0 960 400 typical; wider for many time periods: 0 0 1200 400
Mind Map / Concept Map
Radial layout from central concept.
- Central node at
cx=480, cy=280
- First-level branches: evenly distributed around center (360/N degrees)

Layout Rules & Validation
Spacing:
- Same-layer nodes: 80px horizontal, 120px vertical between layers
- Canvas margins: 40px minimum, 60px between node edges
- Snap to 8px grid: horizontal 120px intervals, vertical 120px intervals
Arrow Labels (CRITICAL):
- MUST have background rect:
<rect fill="canvas_bg" opacity="0.95"/> with 4px horizontal, 2px vertical padding
- Place mid-arrow, ≤3 words, stagger by 15-20px when multiple arrows converge
- Maintain 10px safety distance from nodes
Arrow Routing:
- Prefer orthogonal (L-shaped) paths to minimize crossings
- Anchor arrows on component edges, not geometric centers
- Route around dense node clusters, use different y-offsets for parallel arrows
- Jump-over arcs (5px radius) for unavoidable crossings
Line Overlap Prevention (CRITICAL - most common bug on Codex):
When two arrows must cross each other, ALWAYS use jump-over arcs to prevent visual overlap:
- Crossing horizontal arrows: add a small semicircle arc (radius 5px, stroke same color as arrow, fill none) that "jumps over" the other line
- SVG pattern for jump-over: use a white/matching-background arc on the lower layer, then draw the upper arc on top
- Multiple crossings: stagger arc radii (5px, 7px, 9px) so arcs don't overlap each other
- Never let two arrows' straight-line segments cross without a jump-over arc
Validation Checklist (run before finalizing):
- Arrow-Component Collision: Arrows MUST NOT pass through component interiors (route around with orthogonal paths)
- Text Overflow: All text MUST fit with 8px padding (estimate:
text.length × 7px ≤ shape_width - 16px)
- Arrow-Text Alignment: Arrow endpoints MUST connect to shape edges (not floating); all arrow labels MUST have background rects
- Container Discipline: Prefer arrows entering and leaving section containers through open gaps between components, not through inner component bodies
SVG Technical Rules
- ViewBox:
0 0 960 600 default; 0 0 960 800 tall; 0 0 1200 600 wide
- Fonts: embed via
<style>font-family: ...</style> — no external @import (breaks rsvg-convert)
<defs>: arrow markers, gradients, filters, clip paths
- Text: minimum 12px, prefer 13-14px labels, 11px sub-labels, 16-18px titles
- All arrows:
<marker> with markerEnd, sized markerWidth="10" markerHeight="7"
- Drop shadows:
<feDropShadow> in <filter>, apply sparingly (key nodes only)
- Curved paths: use
M x1,y1 C cx1,cy1 cx2,cy2 x2,y2 cubic bezier for loops/feedback arrows
- Clip content: use
<clipPath> if text might overflow a node box
SVG Generation & Error Prevention
MANDATORY: Python List Method (ALWAYS use this):
python3 << 'EOF'
lines = []
lines.append('<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 960 700">')
lines.append(' <defs>')
# ... each line separately
lines.append('</svg>')
with open('/path/to/output.svg', 'w') as f:
f.write('\n'.join(lines))
print("SVG generated successfully")
EOF
Why mandatory: Prevents character truncation, typos, and syntax errors. Each line is independent and easy to verify.
Pre-Tool-Call Checklist (CRITICAL - use EVERY time):
- ✅ Can I write out the COMPLETE command/content right now?
- ✅ Do I have ALL required parameters ready?
- ✅ Have I checked for syntax errors in my prepared content?
If ANY answer is NO: STOP. Do NOT call the tool. Prepare the content first.
Error Recovery Protocol:
- First error: Analyze root cause, apply targeted fix
- Second error: Switch method entirely (Python list → chunked generation)
- Third error: STOP and report to user - do NOT loop endlessly
- Never: Retry the same failing command or call tools with empty parameters
Validation (run after generation):
rsvg-convert file.svg -o /tmp/test.png 2>&1 && echo "✓ Valid" && rm /tmp/test.png
If using generate-from-template.py:
- Prefer
source / target node ids in arrow JSON so the generator can snap to node edges
- Keep
x1,y1,x2,y2 as hints or fallback coordinates, not the main routing primitive
- Let the generator choose orthogonal routes; avoid hardcoding center-to-center straight lines unless the path is guaranteed clear
Common Syntax Errors to Avoid:
- ❌
yt-anchor → ✅ y="60" text-anchor="middle"
- ❌
x="390 (missing y) → ✅ x="390" y="250"
- ❌
fill=#fff → ✅ fill="#ffffff"
- ❌
marker-end= → ✅ marker-end="url(#arrow)"
- ❌
L 29450 → ✅ L 290,220
- ❌ Missing
</svg> at end
Output
- Default:
./[derived-name].svg and ./[derived-name].png in current directory
- Custom: user specifies path with
--output /path/ or 输出到 /path/
- PNG export:
rsvg-convert -w 1920 file.svg -o file.png (1920px = 2x retina)

These patterns appear frequently — internalize them:
RAG Pipeline: Query → Embed → VectorSearch → Retrieve → Augment → LLM → Response
Agentic RAG: adds Agent loop with Tool use between Query and LLM
Agentic Search: Query → Planner → [Search Tool / Calculator / Code] → Synthesizer → Response
Mem0 / Memory Layer: Input → Memory Manager → [Write: VectorDB + GraphDB] / [Read: Retrieve+Rank] → Context
Agent Memory Types: Sensory (raw input) → Working (context window) → Episodic (past interactions) → Semantic (facts) → Procedural (skills)

most common bug on Codex):331When two arrows must cross each other, ALWAYS use jump-over arcs to prevent visual overlap:332- Crossing horizontal arrows: add a small semicircle arc (radius 5px, stroke same color as arrow, fill none) that "jumps over" the other line333- SVG pattern for jump-over: use a white/matching-background arc on the lower layer, then draw the upper arc on top334- Multiple crossings: stagger arc radii (5px, 7px, 9px) so arcs don't overlap each other335- Never let two arrows' straight-line segments cross without a jump-over arc336337**Validation Checklist** (run before finalizing):3381. **Arrow-Component Collision**: Arrows MUST NOT pass through component interiors (route around with orthogonal paths)3392. **Text Overflow**: All text MUST fit with 8px padding (estimate: `text.length × 7px ≤ shape_width - 16px`)3403. **Arrow-Text Alignment**: Arrow endpoints MUST connect to shape edges (not floating); all arrow labels MUST have background rects3414. **Container Discipline**: Prefer arrows entering and leaving section containers through open gaps between components, not through inner component bodies342343## SVG Technical Rules344345- ViewBox: `0 0 960 600` default; `0 0 960 800` tall; `0 0 1200 600` wide346- Fonts: embed via `<style>font-family: ...</style>` — no external `@import` (breaks rsvg-convert)347- `<defs>`: arrow markers, gradients, filters, clip paths348- Text: minimum 12px, prefer 13-14px labels, 11px sub-labels, 16-18px titles349- All arrows: `<marker>` with `markerEnd`, sized `markerWidth="10" markerHeight="7"`350- Drop shadows: `<feDropShadow>` in `<filter>`, apply sparingly (key nodes only)351- Curved paths: use `M x1,y1 C cx1,cy1 cx2,cy2 x2,y2` cubic bezier for loops/feedback arrows352- Clip content: use `<clipPath>` if text might overflow a node box353354## SVG Generation & Error Prevention355356**MANDATORY: Python List Method** (ALWAYS use this):357```python358python3 << 'EOF'359lines = []360lines.append('<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 960 700">')361lines.append(' <defs>')362# ... each line separately363lines.append('</svg>')364365with open('/path/to/output.svg', 'w') as f:366 f.write('\n'.join(lines))367print("SVG generated successfully")368EOF369```370371**Why mandatory**: Prevents character truncation, typos, and syntax errors.
