Draw architecture diagrams at consistent C4-style levels, as code, kept honest and fit to the audience. Use when documenting a system's structure or when existing diagrams mislead more than they help.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Architecture diagrams A diagram's job is to build an accurate mental model fast. Most fail by mixing altitudes (a load balancer beside a class), going stale the week after they are drawn, or showing the aspirational architecture instead of the real one. Pick a level, generate from truth, and label what is real versus planned. ## Method 1. **Choose one altitude per diagram (C4 as the ladder).** Context (the system as one box, its users and external systems), Container (deployable units: services, databases, and how they talk), Component (inside one container), Code (rarely worth drawing: the IDE shows it). Each diagram stays at one level; the classic failure is a single picture mixing a whole-system view with one class's methods, useful to nobody. 2. **Match the diagram to the audience and question.** Executives and new joiners want Context (what is this, what does it touch); engineers designing an integration want Container; someone modifying a service wants Component (see technical-vision, exec-briefing for the altitude-per-audience rule). Draw the diagram that answers the reader's actual question, not the one that …

How to install
mdr add amey-thakur/ai-skills/architecture-diagrams@sha256:a0ddc5f90fc5de09The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260728.fac4544, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
