Concept Diagrams — Generate flat, minimal educational SVG visuals as HTML
Concept Diagrams — Generate flat, minimal educational SVG visuals as HTML
Start with meaning, then move to detail.
This lesson explains Concept Diagrams — Generate flat, minimal educational SVG visuals as HTML as part of extending Hermes and connecting external tools. You will learn what it does, when it matters, and the smallest safe test that proves it works.
If you are new, do not memorize names. Focus on three questions: what problem does this solve, what access does it need, and how can you verify the result?
For practice, inspect the first example, identify its effects, run it on test data, and compare the result with the source claim.
For advanced readers, inspect Skill metadata, Reference: full SKILL.md, Scope, then verify failure modes and version compatibility.
Complete installation and one successful task before adding new capabilities.
A clear outcome before you read.
- Understand Concept Diagrams — Generate flat, minimal educational SVG visuals as HTML without assumed prior knowledge.
- Separate the source description from what still needs testing in your environment.
- Read the first command and identify its inputs and outputs before copying it.
Short definitions before the details.
- Skill
- An instruction bundle that teaches Hermes a repeatable workflow without necessarily adding an external service.

skill_view(name="concept-diagrams", file_path="templates/template.html")Use `marker-end="url(#arrow)"` on lines. The arrowhead inherits the line color via `context-stroke`.
### CSS Classes (Provided by the Template)
The template page provides:
- Text: `.t`, `.ts`, `.th`
- Neutral: `.box`, `.arr`, `.leader`, `.node`
- Color ramps: `.c-purple`, `.c-teal`, `.c-coral`, `.c-pink`, `.c-gray`, `.c-blue`, `.c-green`, `.c-amber`, `.c-red` (all with automatic light/dark mode)
You do **not** need to redefine these — just apply them in your SVG. The template file contains the full CSS definitions.

## SVG Boilerplate
Every SVG inside the template page starts with thReplace `{HEIGHT}` with the actual computed height (last element bottom + 40px).
### Node Patterns
**Single-line node (44px):**Read the first command and identify its inputs and outputs before copying it.
Match every command to your installed Hermes version, review the files and accounts it can reach, and use non-sensitive data for the first test. If this explanation differs from the source, the official source wins.
