Diagram Generator

Architecture diagrams are always out of date because nobody maintains them. This tool reads your code and generates accurate Mermaid diagrams automatically.

One command. Zero config. Just works.

Quick Start

npx ai-diagram ./src/

What It Does

Generates Mermaid diagrams from your code
Supports flowcharts, class diagrams, sequence diagrams
Creates ER diagrams from database schemas
Outputs markdown-compatible Mermaid syntax

Usage Examples

# Generate flowchart
npx ai-diagram ./src/

# Class diagram
npx ai-diagram ./src/ --type class -o architecture.mmd

# Sequence diagram of function calls
npx ai-diagram ./src/ --type sequence

# Entity relationship diagram
npx ai-diagram ./src/ --type er

Best Practices

Pick the right diagram type - use class for OOP, flow for processes
Focus on key modules - don't diagram everything
Keep them updated - run periodically as code changes
Add to docs - Mermaid renders in GitHub markdown

When to Use This

Onboarding new team members
Documentation that's always out of date
Understanding unfamiliar codebases
Architecture reviews and planning
