squinch skillA
squinch is agent-read markdown (skill) from jquatier/squinch: Author architecture diagrams as code with the Squinch DSL. Use this whenever the user wants an architecture or system diagram — creating one from prose, editing or reviewing a .squinch file, drawing cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, Kubernetes, hybrid estates), documenting services for a README or a design review, or any picture of systems, services and the connections between them — even when they never say "squinch". Write the .squinch model, validate it with `squinch check`, render it with `s.
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
# Squinch — architecture diagrams as code Squinch renders `.squinch` files into deterministic SVG diagrams. You write the *model* (systems, components, connections); the engine lays it out. When the auto-layout isn't what you want, you steer it with **relative** hints — there are no pixel coordinates anywhere in the language. ## The loop Work like a compiler user, not an artist: ```bash squinch check diagram.squinch --format json # parse + lint; machine-readable squinch render diagram.squinch -o out.svg # deterministic SVG; theme: the view's, else dark squinch render diagram.squinch --view NAME --theme light -o out.svg # themes: light | dark squinch render diagram.squinch --sync # every view × both themes, next to the source squinch render diagram.squinch -o out.html # one interactive file: every view, both themes squinch render diagram.squinch -o out.png --scale 2 # PNG, only when asked (--width also works) squinch icons search "<term>, <term>, …" # find icon ids — batch every unknown in one call squinch diff --format json # what changed in the architecture ``` …

How to install
mdr add jquatier/squinch/squinch@git:20260922.6491400mdr add jquatier/squinch/squinch@sha256:af9c6253b6be444dPin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
