# Diagram Design

**Editorial diagrams your designer won't hate.**

![Content site architecture](docs/screenshots/architecture.png)

14 types. One Claude Code skill. Your brand in 60 seconds — the skill reads your website and maps colors + fonts to every diagram.

No Figma. No generic rounded boxes. No 30-minute color-picking sessions.

## Why I built it

I write at [littlemight.com](https://littlemight.com?utm_source=diagram-design&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=github&utm_content=intro) (and run [BestSelf.co](https://bestself.co?utm_source=diagram-design&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=github&utm_content=intro) on the side). Every time I needed a diagram — an architecture sketch, a flowchart, a pyramid of what matters most — I'd ask Claude and get back a generic rounded-box thing that looked nothing like the rest of the site. I'd either fight with Figma for 30 minutes or just skip the diagram.

So I built a Claude Code skill for it. Fourteen types, editorial quality, matches your brand in 60 seconds by reading your website.
