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)

1. Classify the diagram type (see Diagram Types below)
2. Extract structure — identify layers, nodes, edges, flows, and semantic groups from user description
3. Plan layout — apply the layout rules for the diagram type
4. Load style reference — always load references/style-1-flat-icon.md unless user specifies another; load the matching references/style-N.md for exact color tokens and SVG patterns
5. Map nodes to shapes — use Shape Vocabulary below
6. Check icon needs — load references/icons.md for known products
7. Write SVG with adaptive strategy (see SVG Generation Strategy below)
8. Validate: Run rsvg-convert file.svg -o /dev/null 2>&1 to check syntax
9. Export PNG: rsvg-convert -w 1920 file.svg -o file.png
10. Report the generated file paths

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
• Row height: 40px; column width: min 120px; header row height: 50px
• Checked cell: tinted background (e.g. #dcfce7) + ✓ checkmark; unsupported: #f9fafb fill
• Alternating row fills (#f9fafb / #ffffff) for readability
• Max readable columns: 5; beyond that, split into two diagrams

Timeline / Gantt

Horizontal time axis showing durations, phases, and milestones.

• X-axis = time (weeks/months/quarters); Y-axis = items/tasks/phases
• Bars: rounded rects, colored by category, labeled inside or beside
• Milestone markers: diamond or filled circle at specific x position with label above
• 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)
• Second-level branches: branch off first-level at 30-45° offset
• Use curved <path> with cubic bezier for branches, not straight lines

Class Diagram (UML)

• Class box: 3-compartment rect (name / attributes / methods), min width 160px
  • Top compartment: class name, bold, centered (abstract = italic)
  • Middle: attributes with visibility (+ public, - private, # protected)
  • Bottom: method signatures, same visibility notation
• Relationships:
  • Inheritance (extends): solid line + hollow triangle arrowhead, child → parent
  • Implementation (interface): dashed line + hollow triangle, class → interface
  • Association: solid line + open arrowhead, label with multiplicity (1, 0.., 1..)
  • Aggregation: solid line + hollow diamond on container side
  • Composition: solid line + filled diamond on container side
  • Dependency: dashed line + open arrowhead
• Interface: <<interface>> stereotype above name, or circle/lollipop notation
• Enum: compartment rect with <<enumeration>> stereotype, values in bottom
• Layout: parent classes top, children below; interfaces to the left/right of implementors
• ViewBox: 0 0 960 600 standard; 0 0 960 800 for deep hierarchies

UML Coverage Map

Full mapping of UML 14 diagram types to supported diagram types:

Shape Vocabulary

Map semantic concepts to consistent shapes across all diagram types:

Arrow Semantics

Always assign arrow meaning, not just color:

Always include a legend when 2+ arrow types are used.

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):

1. Arrow-Component Collision: Arrows MUST NOT pass through component interiors (route around with orthogonal paths)
2. Text Overflow: All text MUST fit with 8px padding (estimate: text.length × 7px ≤ shape_width - 16px)
3. Arrow-Text Alignment: Arrow endpoints MUST connect to shape edges (not floating); all arrow labels MUST have background rects
4. 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):

1. ✅ Can I write out the COMPLETE command/content right now?
2. ✅ Do I have ALL required parameters ready?
3. ✅ 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)

Styles

Load references/style-N.md for exact color tokens and SVG patterns.

Style Selection

Default: Style 1 (Flat Icon) for most diagrams. Load references/style-diagram-matrix.md for detailed style-to-diagram-type recommendations.

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) Multi-Agent: Orchestrator → [SubAgent A / SubAgent B / SubAgent C] → Aggregator → Output Tool Call Flow: LLM → Tool Selector → Tool Execution → Result Parser → LLM (loop)
