name: html-architecture-diagrams
description: Create HTML system architecture diagrams — microservice maps, dependency graphs, deployment topologies, data ownership maps, integration diagrams. Useful during incidents, design reviews, onboarding, and capacity planning. Use whenever the user wants to visualize, document, or explain how a system fits together — across services, regions, queues, caches, databases, or organizational boundaries. Reach for this whenever the explanation would otherwise involve sentences like "service A talks to service B which writes to queue C".

# HTML Architecture & System Diagrams

Architecture diagrams answer the questions that come up most often during incidents and design reviews: what talks to what, who owns what, where does the data live, what fails when X goes down. A good HTML system diagram is the document you open during the incident, not the one you write after.

This skill is more focused than general SVG diagrams — specifically for system-level architecture.

## When to use this skill

- "Diagram our [system, architecture, services, infrastructure]"
- "Show me how X talks to Y"
- "Map our [microservices, dependencies, deployment, data flow]"
- "Document the architecture of Z for the design review"
- "Help an incident responder understand the system"

## Output requirements

Diagram as inline SVG. Include a legend if shapes/colors carry meaning. Save with a name like `<system>-architecture.html` and treat it as a versioned doc — these get opened during incidents, so the date in the footer matters.

## HTML output foundation

These defaults apply to **every** artifact this skill produces, on top of the requirements above. If a rule above conflicts with this list, the rule above wins; otherwise these are non-negotiable.

- **Output a real `.html` file the user opens in a browser — never inline-render in chat.** Every artifact this skill produces is a file on disk (`<topic>-<kind>.html`), not an HTML block embedded in the agent's chat surface (claude.ai artifact/canvas widgets, fenced ```html``` blocks, custom rendered iframes, etc.). Inline rendering strips features, themes unpredictably against the surrounding chat (often unreadable in dark mode), and lacks the stable origin and clipboard/network access the submit handler needs. Always write the file. The file itself must be self-contained: no build step, no external runtime, inline CSS and JS. Google Fonts via `<link>` is fine; otherwise nothing loaded from npm or a CDN unless this skill explicitly calls for it.
- **Mobile-responsive.** Collapse cleanly to a single column under ~700px so the artifact opens on a phone — including during incidents, commutes, and link-shares to non-laptop reviewers.
- **No `localStorage` / `sessionStorage` / `IndexedDB`.** Claude.ai artifacts can't use browser storage. State lives in JS memory; the export / copy button is the persistence layer.
- **Real semantic HTML, not screenshots.** Code goes in `<pre><code>` (selectable, copyable). Tabular data goes in `<table>`. Diagrams are inline `<svg>` with real `<g>` and `<path>` elements, not embedded PNGs. The reader should be able to copy any value, line, or label out of the artifact.
- **Build DOM safely; don't sling strings.** Use `textContent` for text and `document.createElement` + `appendChild` for structure. **Never** set `innerHTML` from a string that includes a variable, user input, computed value, or imported data — it's an XSS vector and many agent harnesses (including Claude Code) block it via security hooks. Static literal markup inline in your script is fine.
- **SVG text doesn't wrap — size the shape to the label, or use `<foreignObject>`.** Plain SVG `<text>` overflows silently when the label is longer than the box was sized for, crashing into adjacent shapes. For variable-length or potentially-long labels, wrap with `<foreignObject width="W" height="H">` plus an HTML `<div>` inside — real wrapping, real pad
