Diagrams

Generate diagrams from structured JSON → SVG (and optionally PNG).

Quick Start

  1. Install elkjs in the target directory (if not already present):

    cd <project>/docs/diagrams && npm init -y && npm install elkjs
    # Set "type": "module" in package.json
    
  2. Write ELK JSON files describing the diagram (see schema below)

  3. Render:

    # Single file
    node <skill-dir>/scripts/render-elk.mjs diagram.json output.svg
    
    # Batch: all .json files in a folder → svg/ subfolder
    node <skill-dir>/scripts/render-elk.mjs --dir <folder>
    
    # Batch + PNG (macOS only, uses sips)
    node <skill-dir>/scripts/render-elk.mjs --dir <folder> --png
    
  4. Embed in markdown:

    ![Diagram Title](diagrams/svg/my-diagram.svg)
    

ELK JSON Schema

{
  "id": "root",
  "title": "Diagram Title (rendered as heading)",
  "layoutOptions": {
    "elk.algorithm": "layered",
    "elk.direction": "DOWN",
    "elk.spacing.nodeNode": "30",
    "elk.layered.spacing.nodeNodeBetweenLayers": "40",
    "elk.padding": "[top=40,left=20,bottom=20,right=20]"
  },
  "children": [
    {
      "id": "node1",
      "width": 220,
      "height": 45,
      "labels": [{"text": "Node label for ELK layout"}],
      "label": "📦 Display label (rendered in SVG)",
      "color": "core",
      "subtitle": "Optional second line"
    }
  ],
  "edges": [
    {
      "id": "e1",
      "sources": ["node1"],
      "targets": ["node2"],
      "labels": [{"text": "Yes", "width": 25, "height": 14}],
      "edgeColor": "#10B981",
      "dashed": true
    }
  ]
}

Node Properties

Property Type Description
id string Required. Unique identifier
width number Node width in px (default 120)
height number Node height in px (default 40)
labels array [{text}] — used by ELK for layout calculation
label string Display text rendered in SVG (supports emoji). Falls back to id
color string Color key from palette (see below)
subtitle string Smaller text below the label
fontSize number Label font size (default 13)
children array Nested nodes — makes this a container
containerColor string Color key for container background

Edge Properties

Property Type Description
id string Required. Unique identifier
sources string[] Source node id(s)
targets string[] Target node id(s)
labels array [{text, width, height}] — edge labels
edgeColor string Hex color (default #64748B)
dashed boolean Dashed line style
strokeWidth number Line thickness (default 1.5)

Color Palette

8 semantic colors. Every node maps to one. A legend auto-renders at the bottom of each SVG.

Key Color Meaning Use For
action 🔵 Blue System action Steps the app performs — API calls, DB writes, cron triggers
external 🟢 Teal External service Third-party APIs — Google, Twilio, Stripe, Resend
decision 🩷 Pink Decision point Yes/no branches, if/else, conditional checks
user 🟠 Orange User action Things the user does — clicks, inputs, reviews
success 🟢 Green Positive outcome Done, confirmed, created, visible
negative 🔴 Red Negative outcome Canceled, error, failed, not built
neutral ⚫ Gray Neutral / info Starting points, labels, inactive, informational
data 🟡 Amber Data / artifact Records, drafts, outputs, intermediate data

Set "legend": false on the root graph to hide the auto-legend.

Layout Options

Common layoutOptions values:

  • elk.direction: DOWN (default), RIGHT, LEFT, UP
  • elk.algorithm: layered (default, best for flowcharts), force, stress
  • elk.spacing.nodeNode: Space between sibling nodes (px)
  • elk.layered.spacing.nodeNodeBetweenLayers: Space between layers (px)
  • elk.padding: [top=N,left=N,bottom=N,right=N]

Design Tips

  • Sizing: 200-280px wide for most nodes. 45px tall for single-line, 55px for two-line labels.
  • Decision nodes: Use context (pink) color for yes/no branching.
  • Edge labels: Keep short (Yes/No/Error). Set width/height for proper positioning.
  • Containers: Add children array to a node. Use containerColor: "step" for a light blue group.
  • Manual trips vs automated: Use dashed: true on edges for alternative/optional paths.
  • Title: Set title on the root graph for a rendered heading above the diagram.
  • Emoji in labels: Supported and encouraged for visual scanning.

Gotchas

  • Container layout: ELK’s layered algorithm with nested containers in RIGHT direction can produce overlapping layouts. Prefer DOWN for containers, or flatten to a non-container layout if horizontal.
  • labels vs label: labels (array) is what ELK uses for layout spacing. label (string) is what gets rendered in the SVG. Always set both — labels[0].text should approximate the display label length for correct sizing.
  • package.json must have "type": "module" for the ESM import to work.
  • elkjs must be installed locally in the directory where you run the script. It’s not global.
