Fireworks Tech Graph

Generate production-quality SVG technical diagrams exported as PNG via cairosvg (recommended), rsvg-convert, or puppeteer.

Runtime Compatibility

Use this repository unchanged in both Codex and Claude Code. It follows the Agent Skills layout: SKILL.md is the shared entry point, bundled resources use relative paths, and agents/openai.yaml adds optional Codex UI metadata without affecting Claude Code.

Before reading a reference or running a script, resolve the directory containing this SKILL.md as SKILL_ROOT. Do not assume the current working directory is the skill directory, and do not assume a variable set in one shell call persists into the next.

• In Claude Code, use ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}.
• In Codex, use the absolute skill directory shown in the loaded skill metadata.

Every command block below sets SKILL_ROOT itself. In Codex, replace /absolute/path/from-codex-skill-metadata with the absolute skill directory before running the command.

Helper Scripts (Recommended)

Four helper scripts in scripts/ directory provide stable SVG generation and validation:

1. generate-diagram.sh - Validate SVG + export PNG

SKILL_ROOT="${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR:-/absolute/path/from-codex-skill-metadata}"
"$SKILL_ROOT/scripts/generate-diagram.sh" -t architecture -s 1 -o ./output/arch.svg

• Validates an existing SVG file
• Exports PNG after validation
• Example: "$SKILL_ROOT/scripts/generate-diagram.sh" -t architecture -s 1 -o ./output/arch.svg

2. generate-from-template.py - Create starter SVG from template

SKILL_ROOT="${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR:-/absolute/path/from-codex-skill-metadata}"
mkdir -p ./output
python3 "$SKILL_ROOT/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

SKILL_ROOT="${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR:-/absolute/path/from-codex-skill-metadata}"
"$SKILL_ROOT/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

SKILL_ROOT="${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR:-/absolute/path/from-codex-skill-metadata}"
"$SKILL_ROOT/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 $SKILL_ROOT/references/style-1-flat-icon.md unless user specifies another; load the matching $SKILL_ROOT/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 $SKILL_ROOT/references/icons.md for known products
7. Write SVG with adaptive strategy (see SVG Generation Strategy below)
8. Validate: Run "$SKILL_ROOT/scripts/validate-svg.sh" file.svg to check XML, marker references, arrow-component collisions, and renderability
9. Export PNG: Use cairosvg (recommended). Load $SKILL_ROOT/references/png-export.md when choosing another renderer
10. Report the generated file paths
11. Visual review gate — if your runtime can read images, load the exported PNG back and inspect it. Syntactic validity does not guarantee visual correctness: arrows may cross through component interiors, labels may collide with lifelines or other labels, boxes may overlap, alt-frame text may sit on top of a message, or a legend may cover content. If you see any of these, revise the SVG and re-export, with at most two focused correction passes. Common fixes:
    • Route arrows through gaps between boxes, not through box interiors
    • Move arrow labels 6-8px away from the arrow line (offset-first); add background rects only when offset is insufficient
    • Widen inter-row/inter-column gutters so same-layer arrows have clear corridors
    • Collapse repeated cross-layer arrows into a single "delegates down" rail outside the content area
    • Move legend/notes out of any region where arrows or labels land
    • Increase viewBox height/width rather than packing elements tighter
    • If a filtered element (drop-shadow, blur) is missing one side of its border, move it ≥30px away from that viewBox edge, or remove the filter and rely on color/contrast for visual separation Report visual_review: passed after inspection. If image reading is unavailable, report visual_review: skipped (image reader unavailable) — do not guess or claim visual correctness.

Rule Precedence

Use this order when instructions disagree:

1. The user's explicit content and style request
2. The selected $SKILL_ROOT/references/style-N-*.md visual tokens (palette, typography, corner radius, shadow treatment)
3. Diagram-type layout rules and semantic flow requirements in this file
4. Universal defaults and examples

Geometry and validation gates always remain active: style guidance cannot justify unreadable text, missing marker definitions, or arrows crossing component interiors. Tables in this file define semantic defaults; a selected style may override their colors and stroke treatment while preserving the meaning and direction of each flow.

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

Mind Map / Concept Map

Radial layout from central concept.

• Central node at cx=480, cy=280

Arrow Semantics

Always assign arrow meaning, not just color. The values below are defaults; the selected style reference overrides colors and stroke weights while preserving flow semantics:

Flow Type	Color	Stroke	Dash	Meaning
Primary data flow	blue #2563eb	2px solid	none	Main request/response path
Control / trigger	orange #ea580c	1.5px solid	none	One system triggering another
Memory read	green #059669	1.5px solid	none	Retrieval from store
Memory write	green #059669	1.5px	5,3	Write/store operation
Async / event	gray #6b7280	1.5px	4,2	Non-blocking, event-driven
Embedding / transform	purple #7c3aed	1px solid	none	Data transformation
Feedback / loop	purple #7c3aed	1.5px curved	none	Iterative reasoning loop

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):

• Offset-first (default): place label 6-8px above horizontal arrows, or 8px left/right of vertical arrows — do not overlap the arrow line
• Background fallback: add <rect fill="canvas_bg" opacity="0.95"/> only when the offset label still crosses another visual element (another arrow, a node edge, etc.)
• 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
• Compress equivalent bidirectional traffic only when both directions share the same semantics and styling: use one corridor with marker-start + marker-end, or two visibly offset paths in that corridor
• Keep read/write, request/response, sync/async, or differently labeled directions as separate arrows; remove redundant bends and duplicate rails without erasing direction or meaning

Post-Generation Arrow Optimization:

When a user asks to "优化箭头" / "fix arrow routing" / "optimize the diagram" on an already-generated diagram, preserve all nodes, containers, styles, and layout — only modify the arrows entries in the JSON data, then re-render with generate-from-template.py.

Available arrow override fields (in recommended order of use):

Field	Type	When to Use
source_port / target_port	"left" / "right" / "top" / "bottom"	Arrow exits/enters from the wrong edge
corridor_x	[x, ...]	Hint vertical segments toward this x lane (soft preference)
corridor_y	[y, ...]	Hint horizontal segments toward this y lane (soft preference)
route_points	[[x1,y1], [x2,y2], ...]	Force exact waypoints (bypasses auto-routing); keep segments orthogonal
routing_padding	number (default: 24)	(Advanced) Adjust obstacle clearance for this arrow
port_clearance	number	(Advanced) Adjust first-segment offset from node edge
label_style	"badge" / "offset"	Choose "offset" when badge backgrounds create visual clutter; keep "badge" (default) for legacy/high-contrast labels

For JSON/template rendering, the default remains "badge" for backward compatibility. Set "label_style": "offset" on individual arrows when you want offset-first labels without background rects.

Optimization steps:

1. Read the existing SVG — identify which arrows overlap, cross nodes, or look misaligned
2. Find those arrows in the JSON data by source / target pair
3. Add source_port / target_port if the exit/entry direction is wrong; add corridor_x / corridor_y to space parallel arrows apart; use route_points only when hints alone cannot resolve the path
4. Re-run generate-from-template.py with the updated JSON and validate with validate-svg.sh

Example — spacing two overlapping arrows into separate corridors:

{ "source": "nodeA", "target": "nodeB", "corridor_y": [280] }
{ "source": "nodeC", "target": "nodeD", "corridor_y": [320] }

Line Overlap Prevention (CRITICAL - common in AI-generated diagrams): 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); arrow labels should not overlap arrow lines (use offset positioning or background rects)
4. Container Discipline: Prefer arrows entering and leaving section containers through open gaps between components, not through inner component bodies
5. Filter Boundary Safety: For every element with filter="url(...)", verify (element_x + element_width + filter_extension) ≤ viewBox_width AND element_x ≥ filter_extension. The default filter region extends 10-20% beyond bbox; staying near viewBox edges causes Chrome/cairosvg to clip the element's edge-side stroke (one side of the border vanishes while other sides render correctly)
6. Arrow-Title Collision: Arrows MUST NOT cross through section/container title text or region labels (font-size ≥ 13px). For smaller annotations (< 13px), prefer routing around but tolerate if layout constraints require it. (Visual self-review check — not covered by validate-svg.sh automated checks)
7. Frame Label–Arrow Alignment (sequence diagrams): Section/frame label badges MUST be vertically centered with their first message arrow. Compute badge_y = first_arrow_y - (badge_height / 2). When appending new sections to an existing diagram, verify alignment matches the existing sections — this is the most common regression when adding content incrementally. Use variables in Python list generation to enforce the constraint: sec_y = 840; badge_y = sec_y - 9 # for height=18 badge
8. Marker Integrity: Every marker-start, marker-mid, and marker-end URL MUST resolve to a <marker id="..."> definition
9. Visual Review Status: Report whether the exported PNG was visually inspected; automated validation does not cover every text, legend, or arrow-arrow collision

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 (cairosvg / rsvg-convert cannot fetch external URLs)
• <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
• Z-order (drawing order): SVG uses painter's model — later elements cover earlier ones. Recommended layer order (bottom → top): ① canvas background ② dashed containers / region backgrounds ③ arrows and connection lines ④ node shapes (rects, circles) ⑤ text labels and annotations ⑥ legends and overlays. When arrows pass near text, draw arrows BEFORE text so text stays readable. Adjust per diagram needs — this is guidance, not rigid.

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):

python3 -c "import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET; ET.parse('file.svg')" && echo "✓ Valid XML"
# Or use cairosvg as a render-time check:
python3 -c "import cairosvg; cairosvg.svg2png(url='file.svg', write_to='/tmp/test.png')" && echo "✓ Renders" && 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
• ❌ Element with filter near viewBox edge — filter region extends 20% (default) or more beyond bbox; if that region exceeds viewBox, Chrome/cairosvg clip the filter rendering AND can drop the element's own stroke on that side. Keep filtered elements at least max(20% of element size, shadow blur radius × 3) away from viewBox edges, or omit the filter.

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: see SVG → PNG Conversion below

SVG → PNG Conversion

Use $SKILL_ROOT/scripts/generate-diagram.sh by default. Load $SKILL_ROOT/references/png-export.md only when selecting a renderer manually, handling CJK/emoji fallback, converting browser-generated SVG, or using the bundled Puppeteer converter.
