Create Mermaid Diagrams for Software Documentation
Teams often need clear diagrams that stay close to code and documentation. This skill guides Claude, Codex, and Claude Code through Mermaid syntax for maintainable visual models.

Test it
Using "mermaid-diagrams". A login flow with a user, web app, API, identity provider, and database.
Expected outcome:
A sequence diagram showing authentication, token creation, user lookup, success response, and invalid credential handling.
Using "mermaid-diagrams". An order management database with customers, orders, products, and line items.
Expected outcome:
An ERD that defines entities, primary keys, foreign keys, and one-to-many relationships between orders and line items.
Using "mermaid-diagrams". A microservice platform with web, API, queue, notification, payment, and database components.
Expected outcome:
A C4 container diagram showing users, applications, data stores, external systems, and communication protocols.
Security Audit
SafeThe static findings are false positives caused by Mermaid documentation and example syntax. Terms such as System, Network, Database, and Email are diagram labels, URLs are documentation examples, and backticks are Markdown formatting. No executable scripts, data exfiltration intent, prompt injection, or unsafe automation was found.

Skillstore Score
Why this score Evidence Confidence: HighWhat You Can Build
Document Service Architecture
Create C4 diagrams that show systems, containers, components, users, and external services.
Explain Application Flows
Build sequence diagrams and flowcharts for API calls, user journeys, and business processes.
Model Data Structures
Create ERD and class diagrams for database schemas, domain models, and object relationships.
Try These Prompts
Create a Mermaid flowchart for this process: [describe the steps]. Use clear labels and one decision point.
Create a Mermaid sequence diagram for this API flow: [describe actors, calls, responses, and error cases].
Create a Mermaid ERD for this domain: [describe entities, attributes, keys, and relationships]. Include cardinality.
Create Mermaid C4 context, container, and component views for this system: [describe users, services, stores, and dependencies].
Best Practices
- Start with the smallest diagram that answers the documentation question.
- Use clear labels, titles, and comments so diagrams remain useful during code review.
- Keep Mermaid source near related documentation or code so updates are easy to review.
Avoid
- Do not combine every system detail into one large diagram.
- Do not use vague node names when real service, entity, or actor names are known.
- Do not rely on renderer-specific features without checking the target platform.
