Core Workflow

核心工作流

  1. Create Initial Diagram: Use
    mermaid_preview
    to render and open the diagram with live reload
  2. Iterative Refinement: Make improvements - the browser will auto-refresh
  3. Save Final Version: Use
    mermaid_save
    when satisfied
  1. 创建初始图表:使用
    mermaid_preview
    渲染并打开支持实时重载的图表
  2. 迭代优化:进行改进 - 浏览器会自动刷新
  3. 保存最终版本:满意后使用
    mermaid_save

Tool Usage

工具使用

mermaid_preview

mermaid_preview

Always use this when creating or updating diagrams:
  • diagram
    : The Mermaid code
  • preview_id
    : Descriptive kebab-case ID (e.g.,
    auth-flow
    ,
    architecture
    )
  • format
    : Use
    svg
    for live reload (default)
  • theme
    :
    default
    ,
    forest
    ,
    dark
    , or
    neutral
  • background
    :
    white
    ,
    transparent
    , or hex colors
  • width
    ,
    height
    ,
    scale
    : Adjust for quality/size
Key Points:
  • Reuse the same
    preview_id
    for refinements to update the same browser tab
  • Use different IDs for multiple simultaneous diagrams
  • Live reload only works with SVG format
创建或更新图表时请始终使用此工具:
  • diagram
    :Mermaid代码
  • preview_id
    :描述性短横线命名ID(例如:
    auth-flow
    architecture
  • format
    :使用
    svg
    格式以支持实时重载(默认值)
  • theme
    default
    forest
    dark
    neutral
  • background
    white
    transparent
    或十六进制颜色值
  • width
    height
    scale
    :调整质量/尺寸
关键点:
  • 优化时重复使用相同的
    preview_id
    以更新同一个浏览器标签页
  • 同时处理多个图表时使用不同的ID
  • 仅SVG格式支持实时重载

mermaid_save

mermaid_save

Use after the diagram is finalized:
  • save_path
    : Where to save (e.g.,
    ./docs/diagram.svg
    )
  • preview_id
    : Must match the preview ID used earlier
  • format
    : Must match format from preview
图表定稿后使用:
  • save_path
    :保存路径(例如:
    ./docs/diagram.svg
  • preview_id
    :必须与之前使用的预览ID匹配
  • format
    :必须与预览时使用的格式匹配

Best Practices

最佳实践

Preview IDs

预览ID

  • Use descriptive names:
    architecture
    ,
    auth-flow
    ,
    data-model
  • Keep the same ID during refinements
  • Use different IDs for concurrent diagrams
  • 使用描述性名称:
    architecture
    auth-flow
    data-model
  • 优化过程中保持ID不变
  • 同时处理多个图表时使用不同的ID

Themes & Styling

主题与样式

  • default
    : Clean, professional
  • forest
    : Green tones
  • dark
    : Dark background
  • neutral
    : Grayscale
Use
transparent
background for docs,
white
for standalone
  • default
    :简洁、专业
  • forest
    :绿色调
  • dark
    :深色背景
  • neutral
    :灰度

Common Patterns

常见模式

System Architecture:
mermaid
graph TB
    Client[Web App]
    API[API Gateway]
    DB[(Database)]

    Client --> API --> DB
Authentication Flow:
mermaid
sequenceDiagram
    User->>App: Login Request
    App->>Auth: Validate
    Auth-->>App: JWT Token
    App-->>User: Access Granted
系统架构:
mermaid
graph TB
    Client[Web App]
    API[API Gateway]
    DB[(Database)]

    Client --> API --> DB
认证流程:
mermaid
sequenceDiagram
    User->>App: Login Request
    App->>Auth: Validate
    Auth-->>App: JWT Token
    App-->>User: Access Granted

User Interaction

用户交互流程

When a user requests a diagram:
  1. Clarify if needed: What type? What level of detail?
  2. Choose diagram type:
    • Process/workflow → Flowchart
    • System interactions → Sequence
    • Code structure → Class
    • Database → ER
    • Timeline → Gantt
  3. Create with preview: Use descriptive
    preview_id
    , start with good defaults
  4. Iterate: Keep same
    preview_id
    , explain changes
  5. Save: Ask where/what format, use
    mermaid_save
当用户请求创建图表时:
  1. 必要时确认细节:什么类型?详细程度如何?
  2. 选择图表类型
    • 流程/工作流 → 流程图
    • 系统交互 → 时序图
    • 代码结构 → 类图
    • 数据库 → ER图
    • 时间线 → 甘特图
  3. 创建并预览:使用描述性
    preview_id
    ,采用合理默认值
  4. 迭代优化:保持相同的
    preview_id
    ,说明修改内容
  5. 保存:询问保存路径/格式,使用
    mermaid_save

Proactive Behavior

主动行为准则

  • Always preview diagrams, don't just generate code
  • Use sensible defaults without asking
  • Reuse preview_id for refinements
  • Suggest improvements when you see opportunities
  • Explain your diagram type choice briefly
  • 始终预览图表,不要仅生成代码
  • 无需询问,直接使用合理默认值
  • 优化时重复使用preview_id
  • 发现可改进之处时主动提出建议
  • 简要说明选择该图表类型的原因

Common Issues

常见问题

Syntax errors: Check quotes, arrow syntax, keywords Layout issues: Try different directions (LR vs TB) Text overlap: Increase dimensions or shorten labels Colors not working: Verify CSS color format; remember sequence diagrams don't support styles
语法错误:检查引号、箭头语法、关键字 布局问题:尝试不同方向(LR vs TB) 文字重叠:增大尺寸或缩短标签 颜色不生效:验证CSS颜色格式;注意时序图不支持样式设置

Example Interaction

交互示例

User: "Create an auth flow diagram"
You: "I'll create a sequence diagram showing the authentication flow." [Use mermaid_preview with preview_id="auth-flow"]
User: "Add database and error handling"
You: "I'll add database interaction and error paths." [Use mermaid_preview with same preview_id - browser auto-refreshes]
User: "Save it"
You: "Saving to ./docs/auth-flow.svg" [Use mermaid_save]
用户:"创建一个认证流程图表"
:"我将创建一个展示认证流程的时序图。" [使用mermaid_preview,preview_id为"auth-flow"]
用户:"添加数据库和错误处理"
:"我将添加数据库交互和错误路径。" [使用mermaid_preview,保持相同preview_id - 浏览器自动刷新]
用户:"保存它"
:"正在保存到./docs/auth-flow.svg" [使用mermaid_save]
