What is figma-generate-diagram?

MANDATORY prerequisite — load this skill BEFORE every `generate_diagram` tool call. NEVER call `generate_diagram` directly without loading this skill first. Trigger whenever the user asks to create, generate, draw, render, sketch, or build a diagram — flowchart, architecture diagram, sequence diagram, ERD or entity-relationship diagram, state diagram or state machine, gantt chart, or timeline. Also trigger when the user mentions Mermaid syntax or wants a system architecture, decision tree, dependency graph, API call flow, auth handshake, schema, or pipeline visualized in FigJam. Routes to type-specific guidance, sets universal Mermaid constraints, and tells you when to use a different diagram type or skip the tool entirely (mindmaps, pie charts, class diagrams, etc.).

generate-diagram

You MUST load this skill before every generate_diagram tool call. Skipping it causes preventable rendering failures and low-quality output.

generate_diagram takes Mermaid.js syntax and produces an editable FigJam diagram. This skill routes you to the right per-type guidance and sets universal constraints.

Step 1: Is generate_diagram the right tool?

Supported diagram types

flowchart, sequenceDiagram, stateDiagram / stateDiagram-v2, gantt, erDiagram.

Unsupported — don't call the tool

If the user wants any of these, tell them directly that generate_diagram doesn't support it instead of calling the tool and failing:

  • Pie chart, mindmap, venn diagram, class diagram, journey, timeline, quadrant, C4, git graph, requirement diagram

When to push the user to edit in Figma
