arch-diagram 是做什么的？

Two methods, usable individually or chained (natural language → Mermaid → HTML).

• nl2mmd: natural language → Mermaid dialect
• mmd2html: Mermaid dialect → interactive HTML (template: this skill's assets/template.html)

Common Convention: Mermaid Dialect

Structure (three layers, corresponding to the HTML server→service→sub-service):

• Top-level subgraph = server, with direction TB inside
• Second-level subgraph = service (only create a subgraph when there are sub-services; services without sub-services are written directly as nodes)
• Nodes inside a service subgraph = sub-services
• All titles use quoted text: subgraph X["Title"], N["Title"]

Metadata (meta): use | inside the title to separate name from metadata. After generating HTML, the metadata appears as light small text next to the name (server specs, ports, workload, parameters, etc.). Omit | if no metadata:

• subgraph WEB["Web Edge | Active-Active · LAN"] → server name "Web Edge", metadata "Active-Active · LAN"
• WEB_GW["API Gateway | QPS 3k"] → service name + metadata
• Parsing rule: take the last |, left side is name, right side is metadata

Edge types are expressed by line style, fixed:

Type	Line Style	Semantics
sync	==>	data sync / write-back
call	-->	API / RPC / WS
job	-.->	cron / scheduled task / push
data	-.-	read-only query

• Edge labels: ==>|"type · time or frequency"|, e.g., ==>|"sync · 07:10 4×/day"|; -->|call| can omit the description
• Node IDs use uppercase snake_case: <server>_<service>_<sub-service>, e.g., NAS_SCHED_FLAT
• Edges can anchor to subgraphs (service-level or server-level), indicating that edge is at that granularity
• Starts with flowchart LR; internal edges within the same host are written normally (when generating HTML, these become right-out right-in looping lines)

Method 1: nl2mmd (Natural Language → Mermaid)

1. Extract entities: machines/hosts/environments → servers; software installed or running on them → services; components/features/tasks/libraries within software → sub-services.
2. Extract relationships: verb mapping—sync/write-back/mirror → sync; call/request/send-receive → call; daily/scheduled/cron/xx:xx/push → job; read/query/white-box → data. Write time and frequency into edge labels.
3. When uncertain about the level, place at the service level; do not invent sub-services.
4. Put numbers and spec information (ports, specs, workload, IP ranges, etc.) into node metadata: ["Name | Metadata"]; put time and frequency into edge labels. Do not lose information.
5. Output a complete flowchart LR code block, no explanation needed.

Method 2: mmd2html (Mermaid → Interactive HTML)

Steps

1. Read the full assets/template.html (about 38KB, self-contained single file, default data is the content of examples/sample.mmd).
2. Parse the Mermaid (following the dialect above), build a mermaid id → hierarchy path mapping: paths are dot-connected server.service.sub-service (truncated by nesting depth). When an edge anchors to a subgraph, the path stops at that level.
3. Replace the entire block between /*==DATA==*/ and /*==DATA-END==*/ in the template with the new data block, leave the rest of the code unchanged:

/*==DATA==*/
var ARCH_TITLE='Diagram Title (terminal title bar and standalone <title>)';
var ARCH_LSKEY='arch-<slug>';   // localStorage key, unique per diagram
var TYPE={sync:{c:'#3ecf8e',dash:'10 4',dur:'1.5s',label:'Sync'},
 call:{c:'#58a6ff',dash:'6 5',dur:'1.1s',label:'Call'},
 job :{c:'#f0a942',dash:'2 4',dur:'0.85s',label:'Job'},
 data:{c:'#b18cff',dash:'14 5',dur:'1.9s',label:'Data'}};
var COLS=[['srvA','srvB'],['srvC']];   // default column layout: each array entry = a group of server IDs
var SERVERS=[
 {id:'srvA',short:'A',name:'A · Display Name',meta:'Metadata',ac:'#b18cff',svc:[
   {id:'svc1',short:'svc1',name:'Service 1',meta:'',subs:[
     {id:'sub1',short:'sub1',name:'Sub-service 1',meta:''}]},
   {id:'svc2',short:'svc2',name:'Service 2'}]},
];
var EDGES=[
 {from:'srvA.svc1.sub1',to:'srvC.svc2',type:'sync',sched:'07:10 4×/day'},
];
/*==DATA-END==*/

Field rules:

• id uses ASCII (dot-path is built from this); name can be Chinese; short is the short name used in connections/logs
• meta comes from the part after the last | in a node/subgraph title; omit if absent
• ac cycles through the palette: #b18cff #3ecf8e #39d0c4 #58a6ff #f0a942
• type ∈ sync|call|job|data (corresponding to Mermaid line styles); sched comes from the part of the edge label after the type, write real-time if absent
• COLS: roughly arrange by edge flow direction (sources on left, sinks on right); single-server column generator automatically centers vertically

4. Write the output to the target path (fragment version). When double-click usage is needed, wrap it:

<!doctype html><html lang="en"><head><meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<title>{ARCH_TITLE}</title>
<style>html,body{margin:0;padding:0;background:#080b12}#svcarch{min-height:100vh}</style></head><body>
{fragment}</body></html>

QA

1. Mandatory: extract the <script> and run node --check; verify data—server/service/sub-service counts match Mermaid, edge count = Mermaid edge count, default view connection count = deduplicated (from,to,type) groups.
2. When browser is available: when serving locally, must include charset header (python3 -m http.server does not include charset, causing Chinese garbled characters; use a custom handler to add Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 for .html), open and check title, counts, ▾ servers granularity switching, and click to collapse.
3. Only modify the DATA block in the template; do not re-implement the rest of the code (drag, collapse, persistence).

Examples

• examples/sample.mmd — complete dialect example (4 servers, 9 edges, covering all 4 line styles and same-host edges)
• examples/sample.html — finished product generated from template (double-click to use)

Built-in Capabilities of the Generated HTML (do not re-implement outside the template)

Drag to move (bar handle on top, hold Alt to show all handles), resize right edge, collapse/float up, three granularity presets (servers/services/leaves), edge log / inspector, layout and collapse state stored in localStorage (key = ARCH_LSKEY). Interface text is in English.

• Canvas zoom and pan: Ctrl+scroll wheel to zoom centered on cursor (0.4–2.5×), hold Ctrl to switch mouse to hand shape, drag to pan canvas; percentage chip in bottom-right corner click resets. Zoom/pan persisted via localStorage.
• Built-in editing: Hold Alt and click any node header (all three levels) to edit name/metadata/server border color, add children, delete (two-step confirmation, cascading subtree and edges); Alt+click on an edge to change type/timestamp or delete it; while Alt is held, a ⇱ export button appears in the top-right corner, showing a modal with the latest Mermaid (syntax highlighted + copy button), containing ⟲ relayout and ↺ restore default data buttons. Editing results persist via localStorage.
