# Diagrams Architect Skill
|
||||
|
||||
## 📚 Required Reading (LOAD FIRST)
|
||||
|
||||
**CRITICAL**: Before creating ANY diagrams, read this guide:
|
||||
- **[Diagram Conventions Guide](.specweave/docs/internal/delivery/guides/diagram-conventions.md)**
|
||||
|
||||
This guide contains:
|
||||
- C4 Model levels (Context, Container, Component, Code)
|
||||
- Mermaid syntax rules (C4 diagrams start WITHOUT `mermaid` keyword!)
|
||||
- Diagram placement conventions
|
||||
- Validation requirements (MUST verify rendering)
|
||||
- SVG generation for production
|
||||
|
||||
**Load this guide using the Read tool BEFORE creating diagrams.**
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
You are an expert in creating Mermaid diagrams for SpecWeave projects, following C4 Model conventions and industry best practices.
|
||||
|
||||
## Core Responsibilities
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Create C4 architecture diagrams** (Context, Container, Component, Code)
|
||||
2. **Generate sequence diagrams** from API flows and use cases
|
||||
3. **Design ER diagrams** from data models
|
||||
4. **Create deployment diagrams** from infrastructure docs
|
||||
5. **Update diagrams** when architecture changes
|
||||
6. **Validate syntax** and conventions
|
||||
7. **Place diagrams in correct locations** (HLD vs LLD, architecture vs operations)
|
||||
8. **Ensure diagrams render correctly** - Validate before saving
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## CRITICAL: Mermaid C4 Syntax Rules
|
||||
|
||||
**DO NOT include the `mermaid` keyword in C4 diagrams!**
|
||||
|
||||
### WRONG (will not render):
|
||||
```
|
||||
mermaid
|
||||
C4Context
|
||||
title System Context Diagram
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### CORRECT (will render):
|
||||
```
|
||||
C4Context
|
||||
title System Context Diagram
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Why**: Mermaid C4 diagrams start DIRECTLY with `C4Context`, `C4Container`, `C4Component`, or `C4Deployment`. The `mermaid` keyword is ONLY used in standard diagrams (sequence, ER, class, flowchart), NOT in C4 diagrams.
|
||||
|
||||
### Validation Checklist (MANDATORY)
|
||||
|
||||
Before saving any diagram, verify:
|
||||
|
||||
1. ✅ **C4 diagrams**: Start with `C4Context`, `C4Container`, `C4Component`, or `C4Deployment` (NO `mermaid` keyword)
|
||||
2. ✅ **Other diagrams**: Start with `mermaid` keyword (sequenceDiagram, erDiagram, classDiagram, graph)
|
||||
3. ✅ **Syntax valid**: No missing quotes, parentheses, or braces
|
||||
4. ✅ **Indentation correct**: 2 spaces per level
|
||||
5. ✅ **File location correct**: HLD in `architecture/diagrams/`, LLD in `architecture/diagrams/{module}/`
|
||||
|
||||
### Rendering Test (MANDATORY)
|
||||
|
||||
After creating a diagram, instruct the user to:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Open the `.mmd` file in VS Code
|
||||
2. Enable Mermaid Preview extension (if not already installed)
|
||||
3. Verify diagram renders correctly
|
||||
4. Report any syntax errors immediately
|
||||
|
||||
**If diagram does not render**, FIX IT before marking task as complete.

## C4 Model Mapping to SpecWeave
|
||||
|
||||
### Overview
|
||||
|
||||
SpecWeave adopts the **C4 Model** (Context, Container, Component, Code) for architecture diagrams.
|
||||
|
||||
| C4 Level | SpecWeave Equivalent | Status | Purpose | Location |
|
||||
|----------|----------------------|--------|---------|----------|
|
||||
| **C4-1: Context** | HLD Context Diagram | ✅ Defined | System boundaries, external actors | `.specweave/docs/internal/architecture/diagrams/` |
|
||||
| **C4-2: Container** | HLD Component Diagram | ✅ Defined | Applications, services, data stores | `.specweave/docs/internal/architecture/diagrams/` |
|
||||
| **C4-3: Component** | LLD Component Diagram | ✅ Defined (NEW) | Internal structure of a container | `.specweave/docs/internal/architecture/diagrams/{module}/` |
|
||||
| **C4-4: Code** | Source code + UML | ⚠️ Optional | Class diagrams, implementation details | Code comments or separate docs |
|
||||
|
||||
### Design Decision
|
||||
|
||||
- **HLD (High-Level Design) = C4 Levels 1-2** (Context + Container)
|
||||
- **LLD (Low-Level Design) = C4 Level 3** (Component)
|
||||
- **Code-Level Documentation = C4 Level 4** (Optional, generated from code)
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## C4 Level 1: Context Diagram (HLD)
|
||||
|
||||
### Purpose
|
||||
|
||||
Show **system boundaries**, **external actors**, and **high-level interactions**.
|
||||
|
||||
### When to Use
|
||||
|
||||
- New system overview
|
||||
- Stakeholder presentations
|
||||
- External integrations understanding
|
||||
|
||||
### File Location
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
.specweave/docs/internal/architecture/diagrams/system-context.mmd
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Mermaid Syntax
|
||||
|
||||
```mermaid
|
||||
C4Context
|
||||
title System Context for E-Commerce Platform
|
||||
|
||||
Person(customer, "Customer", "Buys products, manages account")
|
||||
Person(admin, "Administrator", "Manages products, orders")
|
||||
|
||||
System(ecommerce, "E-Commerce Platform", "Handles orders, payments, inventory")
|
||||
|
||||
System_Ext(stripe, "Stripe", "Payment processing")
|
||||
System_Ext(email, "Email Service", "Transactional emails")
|
||||
System_Ext(analytics, "Google Analytics", "Usage tracking")
|
||||
|
||||
Rel(customer, ecommerce, "Places orders, views products")
|
||||
Rel(admin, ecommerce, "Manages catalog, views reports")
|
||||
Rel(ecommerce, stripe, "Processes payments", "HTTPS/REST")
|
||||
Rel(ecommerce, email, "Sends emails", "SMTP")
|
||||
Rel(ecommerce, analytics, "Tracks events", "HTTPS")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Key Elements
|
||||
|
||||
| Element | Usage | Example |
|
||||
|---------|-------|---------|
|
||||
| `Person` | Human users | Customer, Admin |
|
||||
| `System` | Your system | E-Commerce Platform |
|
||||
| `System_Ext` | External systems | Stripe, SendGrid |
|
||||
| `Rel` | Relationships | "Places orders", "Processes payments" |
|
||||
|
||||
### Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Keep it high-level** - No implementation details
|
||||
2. **Show boundaries clearly** - Internal vs External systems
|
||||
3. **Use business language** - "Customer" not "User table"
|
||||
4. **Limit to 10-15 elements** - More = too complex

||||
## C4 Level 2: Container Diagram (HLD)
|
||||
|
||||
### Purpose
|
||||
|
||||
Show **high-level components** (applications, services, databases) and their interactions.
|
||||
|
||||
### When to Use
|
||||
|
||||
- System architecture overview
|
||||
- Tech stack decisions
|
||||
- Component responsibilities
|
||||
|
||||
### File Location

C4Container
|
||||
title Container Diagram for E-Commerce Platform
|
||||
|
||||
Person(customer, "Customer", "Buys products")
|
||||
|
||||
Container_Boundary(ecommerce, "E-Commerce Platform") {
|
||||
Container(web_app, "Web Application", "Next.js, React", "Provides UI for customers")
|

1. **Show technology stack** - Next.js, PostgreSQL, Redis
|
||||
2. **Group by system** - Use `Container_Boundary`
|
||||
3. **Indicate protocols** - HTTPS, SQL, gRPC
|
||||
4. **Limit to 10-15 containers** - More = create multiple diagrams

## C4 Level 3: Component Diagram (LLD) - NEW
|
||||
|
||||
### Purpose
|
||||
|
||||
Show **internal structure of a container** (modules, classes, components within a service).
|
||||
|
||||
### When to Use
|
||||
|
||||
- Detailed service design
|
||||
- Module responsibilities
|
||||
- Before implementation
|
||||
|
||||
### File Location
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
.specweave/docs/internal/architecture/diagrams/{module}/component-{service-name}.mmd
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Example**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
.specweave/docs/internal/architecture/diagrams/auth/component-auth-service.mmd
|
||||
.specweave/docs/internal/architecture/diagrams/payments/component-payment-service.mmd
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Mermaid Syntax
|
||||
|
||||
```mermaid
|
||||
C4Component
|
||||
title Component Diagram for Auth Service
|
||||
|
||||
Container_Boundary(auth_service, "Auth Service") {
|
||||
Component(auth_controller, "Auth Controller", "Express Router", "Handles HTTP requests")
|
||||
Component(auth_service_logic, "Auth Service", "TypeScript Class", "Business logic for authentication")
|
||||
Component(user_repository, "User Repository", "TypeScript Class", "Data access for users")
|
||||
Component(jwt_handler, "JWT Handler", "jsonwebtoken library", "Generates and validates JWT tokens")
|
||||
Component(password_hasher, "Password Hasher", "bcrypt library", "Hashes and verifies passwords")
|
||||
|
||||
ComponentDb(user_db, "User Table", "PostgreSQL", "Stores user credentials")
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
Rel(auth_controller, auth_service_logic, "Calls", "TypeScript")
|
||||
Rel(auth_service_logic, user_repository, "Queries users", "TypeScript")
|
||||
Rel(auth_service_logic, jwt_handler, "Generates tokens", "TypeScript")
|
||||
Rel(auth_service_logic, password_hasher, "Hashes passwords", "TypeScript")
|
||||
Rel(user_repository, user_db, "Reads/writes", "SQL")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Key Elements
|
||||
|
||||
| Element | Usage | Example |
|
||||
|---------|-------|---------|
|
||||
| `Component` | Modules/classes | Controller, Service, Repository |
|
||||
| `ComponentDb` | Database tables | User Table, Order Table |
|
||||
| `Container_Boundary` | Service boundary | Auth Service |
|
||||
| `Rel` | Method calls | "Calls", "Queries users" |
|
||||
|
||||
### Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
1. **One diagram per service** - Don't mix services
|
||||
2. **Show design patterns** - Controller, Service, Repository
|
||||
3. **Indicate technologies** - TypeScript, Express, bcrypt
|
||||
4. **Use business language** - "Authenticates user" not "executes SQL"
|
||||
5. **Limit to 10-15 components** - More = break into submodules
|
||||
|
||||
### Naming Convention
|
||||
|
||||
File names follow pattern:
|
||||
```
|
||||
component-{service-name}.mmd
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Examples:
|
||||
- `component-auth-service.mmd`
|
||||
- `component-order-service.mmd`
|
||||
- `component-payment-service.mmd`
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## C4 Level 4: Code Diagram (Optional)
|
||||
|
||||
### Purpose
|
||||
|
||||
Show **class diagrams** and **implementation details** at the code level.
|
||||
|
||||
### When to Use
|
||||
|
||||
- Complex algorithms
|
||||
- Design pattern implementation
|
||||
- Code-level documentation
|
||||
|
||||
### Approach
|
||||
|
||||
**NOT typically created manually** - Use tools like:
|
||||
- TypeDoc (TypeScript)
|
||||
- JSDoc (JavaScript)
|
||||
- Sphinx (Python)
|
||||
- Javadoc (Java)
|
||||
|
||||
### If Manual Creation Required
|
||||
|
||||
Use standard UML class diagrams:
|
||||
|
||||
```mermaid
|
||||
classDiagram
|
||||
class AuthController {
|
||||
+login(req, res)
|
||||
+register(req, res)
|
||||
+logout(req, res)
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
class AuthService {
|
||||
-userRepository: UserRepository
|
||||
-jwtHandler: JWTHandler
|
||||
+authenticate(email, password): Promise~Token~
|
||||
+register(email, password): Promise~User~
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
class UserRepository {
|
||||
-db: DatabaseConnection
|
||||
+findByEmail(email): Promise~User~
|
||||
+create(user): Promise~User~
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
AuthController --> AuthService
|
||||
AuthService --> UserRepository
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Location**: `.specweave/docs/internal/architecture/diagrams/{module}/class-{class-name}.mmd`
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Sequence Diagrams
|
||||
|
||||
### Purpose
|
||||
|
||||
Show **interaction flows** between components over time.
|
||||
|
||||
### File Location
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
.specweave/docs/internal/architecture/diagrams/{module}/flows/{flow-name}.mmd
|
||||

|
||||
```
|
||||
.specweave/docs/internal/architecture/diagrams/auth/flows/login-flow.mmd
|
||||
.specweave/docs/internal/architecture/diagrams/payments/flows/checkout-flow.mmd
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Mermaid Syntax
|
||||
|
||||
```mermaid
|
||||

|
||||
participant User
|
||||
participant Web
|
||||
participant API
|
||||
participant AuthService
|
||||
participant Database
|
||||
participant Cache
|
||||
|
||||
User->>Web: Enter credentials
|
||||
Web->>API: POST /api/auth/login
|
||||
Note over API: Validate input
|
||||
|
||||
API->>AuthService: authenticate(email, password)
|
||||
AuthService->>Database: SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = ?
|
||||
Note over Database: Query time: ~50ms
|
||||
Database-->>AuthService: User record
|
||||
|
||||
AuthService->>AuthService: Verify password (bcrypt)
|
||||
Note over AuthService: ~100ms
|
||||
|
||||
AuthService->>Cache: Store session (TTL: 24h)
|
||||
Cache-->>AuthService: OK
|
||||
|
||||
AuthService-->>API: JWT token
|
||||
Note over API: Token generation: ~10ms
|
||||
|
||||
API-->>Web: 200 OK {token, user}
|
||||
Web-->>User: Redirect to dashboard
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Key Elements
|
||||
|
||||
| Element | Usage | Example |
|
||||
|---------|-------|---------|
|
||||
| `participant` | Actor/component | User, API, Database |
|
||||
| `->>` | Synchronous call | POST /api/login |
|
||||
| `-->>`| Response | 200 OK |
|
||||
| `Note over` | Annotations | Query time: 50ms |
|
||||
| `loop` | Iterations | Retry logic |
|
||||
| `alt` | Conditionals | Success/failure branches |
|
||||
|
||||
### Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Add timing annotations** - Show performance considerations
|
||||
2. **Use clear labels** - HTTP methods, function names
|
||||
3. **Group related steps** - Use `rect` for grouping
|
||||
4. **Limit to 15-20 steps** - More = create sub-flows

### Key Elements
|
||||
|
||||
| Element | Usage | Example |
|
||||
|---------|-------|---------|
|
||||
| `||--o{` | One to many | User has many Orders |
|
||||
| `||--||` | One to one | Order has one Payment |
|
||||
| `}o--||` | Many to one | Products belong to Category |
|
||||
| `PK` | Primary key | id PK |
|
||||
| `FK` | Foreign key | user_id FK |
|
||||
| `UK` | Unique key | email UK |
|
||||
|
||||
### Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Show cardinality** - One-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-many
|
||||
2. **Annotate keys** - PK, FK, UK
|
||||
3. **Use data types** - uuid, string, int, decimal, timestamp
|
||||
4. **Group related entities** - Use modules/subgraphs

### Mermaid Syntax
|
||||
|
||||
```mermaid
|
||||
graph TB
|
||||
subgraph "Hetzner Cloud - Production"
|
||||
LB[Load Balancer<br/>HAProxy]
|
||||
APP1[App Server 1<br/>Node.js + Next.js]
|
||||
APP2[App Server 2<br/>Node.js + Next.js]
|
||||
DB[(PostgreSQL 15<br/>Primary)]
|
||||
DB_REPLICA[(PostgreSQL 15<br/>Read Replica)]
|
||||
CACHE[(Redis 7<br/>Session Store)]
|
||||
QUEUE[RabbitMQ<br/>Task Queue]
|
||||
end

### Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Show environment** - Production, Staging, Development
|
||||
2. **Indicate technologies** - PostgreSQL 15, Node.js, Redis 7
|
||||
3. **Show ports** - HTTPS:443, HTTP:3000
|
||||
4. **Use colors** - Different colors for different tiers
|
||||
5. **Show redundancy** - Load balancers, read replicas

## Diagram Naming Conventions
|
||||
|
||||
### File Naming
|
||||
|
||||
| Diagram Type | Pattern | Example |
|
||||
|--------------|---------|---------|
|
||||
| **C4-1: Context** | `system-context.mmd` | `system-context.mmd` |
|
||||
| **C4-2: Container** | `system-container.mmd` | `system-container.mmd` |
|
||||
| **C4-3: Component** | `component-{service}.mmd` | `component-auth-service.mmd` |
|
||||
| **C4-4: Code** | `class-{class}.mmd` | `class-user-repository.mmd` |
|
||||
| **Sequence** | `{flow-name}.mmd` | `login-flow.mmd` |
|
||||
| **ER Diagram** | `data-model.mmd` | `data-model.mmd` |
|
||||
| **Deployment** | `deployment-{env}.mmd` | `deployment-production.mmd` |
|
||||
|
||||
### Directory Structure
|
||||
|
||||

```
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Templates
|
||||
|
||||
Use templates in `templates/` folder for consistent diagrams:
|
||||
|
||||
- `c4-context.mmd.template` - C4 Level 1 template
|
||||
- `c4-container.mmd.template` - C4 Level 2 template
|
||||
- `c4-component.mmd.template` - C4 Level 3 template (NEW)
|
||||
- `sequence-diagram.mmd.template` - Sequence flow template
|
||||
- `er-diagram.mmd.template` - ER diagram template
|
||||
- `deployment-diagram.mmd.template` - Deployment diagram template
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## References
|
||||
|
||||
Consult references in `references/` folder:
|
||||
|
||||
- `c4-model-guide.md` - Complete C4 Model reference
|
||||
- `mermaid-syntax.md` - Mermaid syntax guide
|
||||
- `diagram-best-practices.md` - Industry best practices
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Test Cases
|
||||
|
||||
Validate diagrams using test cases in `test-cases/`:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **test-1-c4-context-diagram.yaml** - C4 Level 1 (Context)
|
||||
2. **test-2-c4-component-diagram.yaml** - C4 Level 3 (Component - NEW)
|
||||
3. **test-3-sequence-diagram.yaml** - API flow sequence
|
||||
|
||||
**Run tests**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm run test:agents:diagrams-architect
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Best Practices Summary
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Follow C4 Model hierarchy** - Context → Container → Component → Code
|
||||
2. **Keep diagrams focused** - One concept per diagram
|
||||
3. **Use consistent naming** - Follow file naming conventions
|
||||
4. **Place correctly** - HLD in `architecture/diagrams/`, LLD in `architecture/diagrams/{module}/`
|
||||
5. **Add annotations** - Performance notes, security considerations
|
||||
6. **Version control** - Track diagram changes with git
|
||||
7. **Link from docs** - Reference diagrams in architecture documents
|
||||
8. **Update regularly** - Keep diagrams in sync with implementation

## Common Syntax Errors to Avoid
|
||||
|
||||
### Error 1: Adding `mermaid` keyword to C4 diagrams
|
||||
|
||||
**WRONG**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
mermaid
|
||||
C4Context
|
||||
title System Context
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**CORRECT**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
C4Context
|
||||
title System Context
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Error 2: Missing quotes in multi-word descriptions
|
||||
|
||||
**WRONG**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
Person(user, Customer User, Buys products) # SYNTAX ERROR
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**CORRECT**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
Person(user, "Customer User", "Buys products")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Error 3: Incorrect indentation
|
||||
|
||||
**WRONG**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
C4Container
|
||||
title Container Diagram # WRONG: No indentation
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**CORRECT**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
C4Container
|
||||
title Container Diagram # CORRECT: 2 spaces
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Error 4: Missing parentheses in relationships
|
||||
|
||||
**WRONG**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
Rel(user, system, "Uses" # SYNTAX ERROR: Missing closing )
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**CORRECT**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
Rel(user, system, "Uses")
|
||||
```
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Workflow for Creating Diagrams
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Understand requirements** - Read spec, architecture docs
|
||||
2. **Choose diagram type** - C4 level, sequence, ER, deployment
|
||||
3. **Create diagram** - Use correct syntax, no `mermaid` keyword for C4
|
||||
4. **Validate syntax** - Check quotes, parentheses, indentation
|
||||
5. **Save to correct location** - Follow naming conventions
|
||||
6. **Test rendering** - Verify diagram displays correctly
|
||||
7. **Fix errors if any** - Iterate until diagram renders
|
||||
8. **Link from docs** - Reference diagram in architecture docs
|
||||
|
||||
**NEVER mark diagram creation as complete until rendering is verified.**
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
**You are the authoritative architect for SpecWeave diagrams. Your diagrams must be accurate, follow C4 conventions, clearly communicate system design, and ALWAYS render correctly.**
