HTML Draft Agent Skill

Use when user wants a standalone HTML diagram in flat engineering blueprint style — architecture diagrams, system flows, technical spec sheets, component maps. Generates one HTML file using Tailwind v4 (browser CDN) for layout and D3 v7 (CDN) for SVG diagrams. User-invoked only — do NOT auto-trigger. Triggers on "/html-draft", "сделай blueprint", "технический чертёж", "архитектурная схема", "инженерная схема", "blueprint diagram", "engineering blueprint", "technical spec sheet", "architecture diagram", "system flow diagram".

html-draft — Flat Engineering Blueprint Diagrams

Generate one HTML page that renders a technical diagram in a strict flat-blueprint aesthetic — the look of a printed engineering specification sheet, not a marketing landing.

Stack: Tailwind v4 via @tailwindcss/browser CDN for layout + utilities, D3 v7 via jsDelivr CDN for SVG-based diagrams (nodes, connectors, layouts, animations).

Use this when the user wants an architecture diagram, system flow, technical spec sheet, or component map as a standalone HTML artifact (suitable for slides, reports, exports).

Don't use this for:

  • Inline schemas inside markdown documents — use a mermaid renderer instead
  • Newspaper / reading-first single-column pages with monospace ink-on-cream feel
  • Multi-section interactive explainers with pill navigation

Design philosophy

Precise. Objective. High data-ink ratio (Tufte). Every pixel earns its place; nothing decorative. The stack is modern (Tailwind + D3) but the output looks like a printed engineering doc.

Visual rules

Flat, outlined, monochrome

  • No drop shadows, gradients, glassmorphism, blur, rounded buttons
  • 1px or 2px solid borders define structure
  • White content blocks on a light-gray canvas
  • Accent: black, or a single semantic color (red for error, etc.) used sparingly
  • Do not import a Tailwind component library — pure utility classes only

Design tokens (declared once via @theme)

@theme {
  --color-c-bg: #f8fafc;          /* page background — slate-50 */
  --color-c-canvas: #ffffff;      /* diagram canvas */
  --color-c-border: #cbd5e1;      /* slate-300 */
  --color-c-text-main: #0f172a;   /* slate-900 */
  --color-c-text-sub: #64748b;    /* slate-500 */
  --color-c-accent: #b91c1c;      /* red-700 — semantic only */
  --font-ui: system-ui, -apple-system, 'Segoe UI', sans-serif;
  --font-mono: 'SF Mono', Monaco, Consolas, monospace;
}

Tokens become Tailwind utilities automatically: bg-c-canvas, border-c-border, text-c-text-sub, font-mono.

Typography

  • Headings, labels: sans-serif (font-ui)
  • Data, paths, code, IDs, version strings: font-mono
  • Never link Google Fonts — the system stack already covers both roles

Layout

  • Whole diagram lives in a .diagram-canvas — bordered box with generous padding (p-8 or more)
  • Header: title + UPPERCASE subtitle, separated from body by a 1px bottom border
  • Strict alignment via grid / flex utilities; no eyeballing

Connectors

  • Thin straight or orthogonal lines (1px solid)
  • Dashed lines for abstract / logical relationships, never structural ones
  • D3-rendered SVG for non-orthogonal arrows; Tailwind border-t / border-l for orthogonal CSS connectors

Icons & badges

  • Icons: simple stroke SVG (no fills, no detail) drawn via D3 or inline <svg>
  • Badges: outlined or solid black/gray block, small uppercase mono text

Hard requirements

  • Tailwind v4 via browser CDN — version-pinned https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@tailwindcss/browser@4
  • D3 v7 via jsDelivr CDN — version-pinned https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/d3@7
  • Return only the HTML — no markdown wrapper, no commentary outside the file
  • Complete document — <!DOCTYPE html> through </html>
  • Design tokens declared in a single <style type="text/tailwindcss"> @theme block — no scattered custom CSS
  • Custom CSS minimal — only what Tailwind utilities cannot express (e.g. SVG marker definitions, complex pseudo-elements)
  • No external fonts (no Google Fonts, no Adobe Fonts) — only Tailwind + D3 CDNs

D3 patterns

Use D3 when geometry is non-orthogonal, computed, or large enough that hand-placing nodes is unmaintainable.

const svg = d3.select('#d3-diagram');
const nodes = [
  { id: 'api',    x: 100, y: 100, label: 'API'    },
  { id: 'worker', x: 400, y: 100, label: 'Worker' },
  { id: 'db',     x: 250, y: 280, label: 'DB'     },
];
const links = [
  { source: 'api',    target: 'worker', style: 'solid'  },
  { source: 'api',    target: 'db',     style: 'solid'  },
  { source: 'worker', target: 'db',     style: 'dashed' },
];
const byId = Object.fromEntries(nodes.map(n => [n.id, n]));

// arrow marker
svg.append('defs').append('marker')
  .attr('id', 'arrow').attr('viewBox', '0 -5 10 10')
  .attr('refX', 8).attr('refY', 0).attr('markerWidth', 6).attr('markerHeight', 6)
  .attr('orient', 'auto')
  .append('path').attr('d', 'M0,-4L8,0L0,4').attr('fill', '#0f172a');

// links
svg.selectAll('line').data(links).enter().append('line')
  .attr('x1', d => byId[d.source].x).attr('y1', d => byId[d.source].y)
  .attr('x2', d => byId[d.target].x).attr('y2', d => byId[d.target].y)
  .attr('stroke', '#0f172a').attr('stroke-width', 1)
  .attr('stroke-dasharray', d => d.style === 'dashed' ? '4 3' : null)
  .attr('marker-end', 'url(#arrow)');

// nodes
const g = svg.selectAll('g.node').data(nodes).enter().append('g')
  .attr('transform', d => `translate(${d.x - 50}, ${d.y - 18})`);
g.append('rect').attr('width', 100).attr('height', 36)
  .attr('fill', '#fff').attr('stroke', '#0f172a').attr('stroke-width', 1);
g.append('text').attr('x', 50).attr('y', 22)
  .attr('text-anchor', 'middle').attr('font-size', 12)
  .attr('font-family', 'system-ui').text(d => d.label);

Pattern 2 — tree layout (hierarchical structures)

d3.hierarchy() + d3.tree() for parent/child trees (component maps, org charts). Render with the same flat node style; never use the default rounded D3 examples.

Pattern 3 — DAG / flow

d3-dag (optional) or manual topological layout. For < 15 nodes, hand-place coordinates — it's faster and tighter than a layout algorithm.

Pattern 4 — sankey / flow volumes

d3-sankey plugin (https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]) when volumes matter. Keep ribbons grayscale; one accent only for the watched flow.

What D3 must not do here

  • No force-directed simulations bouncing around — diagrams are static engineering docs
  • No smooth zoom/pan unless the user asks — extra interactivity adds noise
  • No tooltips / hover popups unless the user asks
  • No colorful palettes — the visual rules above still bind

Composition guide

  • Architecture diagram: services as D3 rect nodes, data flow as solid SVG lines with arrow markers, dependencies as dashed
  • System flow: linear stages left-to-right or top-to-bottom; decision points as outlined diamonds (D3 polygons); use Tailwind grid for non-flow sections of the same page
  • Spec sheet: Tailwind grid of labeled cells, each with a mono value and a sans-serif label; status badge top-right of each cell
  • Component map: nested boxes in HTML (Tailwind) for top level; D3 hierarchy for deep trees; badges on each node

Quality bar

  • Every text item earns its space — no decorative copy
  • Alignment is strict — no off-grid placement
  • Mono and sans roles never bleed (don't put labels in mono or data in sans)
  • Color usage stays monochrome unless one semantic accent is justified
  • CDN scripts pinned to specific major versions (@tailwindcss/browser@4, d3@7)
  • D3 code is readable — named variables, no one-letter chaining beyond what's idiomatic
  • The page renders correctly on first paint even before D3 mounts (no layout jump)

When input is incomplete

  • No content → ask for the diagram type (architecture / flow / spec sheet / component map) and the items to render
  • Vague subject → propose a node list and ask for confirmation before rendering
  • User asks for a different library (Mermaid inside, Recharts, Chart.js) → push back: this skill is Tailwind + D3 only; suggest mermaid-diagrams skill if the user wants Mermaid
  • User asks for interactivity (tooltips, drag, zoom) → confirm explicitly; default is static print-style
