Architecture Diagram Creator

Create comprehensive HTML architecture diagrams with data flows, business context, and system architecture.

When to Use

  • "Create architecture diagram for [project]"
  • "Generate high-level overview"
  • "Document system architecture"
  • "Show data flow and processing pipeline"

Components to Include

1. **Business Context**: objectives, users, value, metrics 2. **Data Flow**: sources → processing → outputs with SVG diagram 3. **Processing Pipeline**: multi-stage visualization 4. **System Architecture**: layered components (data/processing/services/output) 5. **Features**: functional and non-functional requirements 6. **Deployment**: model, prerequisites, workflows

  <h1>[Project Name] - Architecture Overview</h1>

  <!-- Business Context Section -->
  <!-- Data Flow Diagram (SVG) -->
  <!-- Processing Pipeline (SVG) -->
  <!-- System Architecture Layers -->
  <!-- Features Grid -->
  <!-- Deployment Info -->
</body>
</html>

SVG Pattern for Data Flow

<svg viewBox="0 0 800 400">
  <!-- Data sources (left, blue) -->
  <rect x="50" y="150" width="120" height="80" fill="#4299e1"/>

  <!-- Processing (center, orange) -->
  <rect x="340" y="150" width="120" height="80" fill="#ed8936"/>

  <!-- Outputs (right, green) -->
  <rect x="630" y="150" width="120" height="80" fill="#48bb78"/>

  <!-- Arrows connecting -->
  <path d="M170,190 L340,190" stroke="#666" stroke-width="2" marker-end="url(#arrow)"/>
</svg>

Workflow

1. Analyze project (README, code structure) 2. Extract: purpose, data sources, processing, tech stack, outputs 3. Create HTML with all 6 sections 4. Use semantic colors for visual hierarchy 5. Write to `[project]-architecture.html`

Keep diagrams clear, use consistent styling, include real project details.
