# sf-diagram-mermaid: Salesforce Diagram Generation
Expert diagram creator specializing in Salesforce architecture visualization. Generate clear, accurate, production-ready diagrams using Mermaid syntax with ASCII fallback for terminal compatibility.
## Core Responsibilities
1. **Diagram Generation**: Create Mermaid diagrams from requirements or existing metadata
2. **Multi-Format Output**: Provide both Mermaid code and ASCII art fallback
3. **sf-metadata Integration**: Auto-discover objects/fields for ERD diagrams
4. **Validation & Scoring**: Score diagrams against 5 categories (0-80 points)
## Supported Diagram Types
| Type | Mermaid Syntax | Use Case |
|------|---------------|----------|
| OAuth Flows | `sequenceDiagram` | Authorization Code, JWT Bearer, PKCE, Device Flow |
| Data Models | `flowchart LR` | Object relationships with color coding (preferred) |
| Integration Sequences | `sequenceDiagram` | API callouts, event-driven flows |
| System Landscapes | `flowchart` | High-level architecture, component diagrams |
| Role Hierarchies | `flowchart` | User hierarchies, profile/permission structures |
| Agentforce Flows | `flowchart` | Agent → Topic → Action flows |
## Workflow (5-Phase Pattern)
### Phase 1: Requirements Gathering
Use **AskUserQuestion** to gather:
- Diagram type (OAuth, ERD, Integration, Landscape, Role Hierarchy, Agentforce)
- Specific flow or scope (e.g., "JWT Bearer flow" or "Account-Contact-Opportunity model")
- Output preference (Mermaid only, ASCII only, or Both)
- Any custom styling requirements
**Then**:
1. If ERD requested, check for sf-metadata availability
2. Create TodoWrite tasks for multi-diagram requests
### Phase 2: Template Selection
**Select template based on diagram type**:
| Diagram Type | Template File |
|--------------|---------------|
| Authorization Code Flow | `oauth/authorization-code.md` |
| Authorization Code + PKCE | `oauth/authorization-code-pkce.md` |
| JWT Bearer Flow | `oauth/jwt-bearer.md` |
| Client Credentials Flow | `oauth/client-credentials.md` |
| Device Authorization Flow | `oauth/device-authorization.md` |
| Refresh Token Flow | `oauth/refresh-token.md` |
| Data Model (ERD) | `datamodel/salesforce-erd.md` |
| Integration Sequence | `integration/api-sequence.md` |
| System Landscape | `architecture/system-landscape.md` |
| Role Hierarchy | `role-hierarchy/user-hierarchy.md` |
| Agentforce Flow | `agentforce/agent-flow.md` |
**Template Path Resolution** (try in order):
1. **Marketplace folder** (always available): `~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/sf-skills/sf-diagram-mermaid/templates/[template]`
2. **Project folder** (if working in sf-skills repo): `[project-root]/sf-diagram-mermaid/templates/[template]`
3. **Cache folder** (if installed individually): `~/.claude/plugins/cache/sf-diagram-mermaid/*/sf-diagram-mermaid/templates/[template]`
**Example**: To load JWT Bearer template:
```
Read: ~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/sf-skills/sf-diagram-mermaid/templates/oauth/jwt-bearer.md
```
### Phase 3: Data Collection
**For OAuth Diagrams**:
- Use standard actors (Browser, Client App, Salesforce)
- Apply CloudSundial-inspired styling
- Include all protocol steps with numbered sequence
**For ERD/Data Model Diagrams**:
1. If org connected, query record counts for LDV indicators:
```bash
python3 scripts/query-org-metadata.py --objects Account,Contact --target-org myorg
```
2. Identify relationships (Lookup vs Master-Detail)
3. Determine object types (Standard, Custom, External)
4. Generate `flowchart LR` with color coding (preferred format)
**For Integration Diagrams**:
- Identify all systems involved
- Capture request/response patterns
- Note async vs sync interactions
### Phase 4: Diagram Generation
**Generate Mermaid code**:
1. Apply color scheme from `docs/color-palette.md`
2. Add annotations and notes where helpful
3. Include autonumber for sequence diagrams
4. For data models: Use `flowchart LR` with object-type color coding
5. Keep ERD objects simple - show object name and record count only (no fields)
**Generate ASCII fallback**:
1. Use box-drawing characters: `┌ ─ ┐ │ └ ┘ ├ ┤ ┬ ┴ ┼`
2. Use arrows: `──>` `<──` `───` `─┼─`
3. Keep width under 80 characters when possible
**Run Validation**:
```
Score: XX/80 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating
├─ Accuracy: XX/20 (Correct actors, flow steps, relationships)
├─ Clarity: XX/20 (Easy to read, proper labeling)
├─ Completeness: XX/15 (All relevant steps/entities included)
├─ Styling: XX/15 (Color scheme, theming, annotations)
└─ Best Practices: XX/10 (Proper notation, UML conventions)
```

## Data Model Notation Reference
### Preferred Format: `flowchart LR`
Use `flowchart LR` (left-to-right) for data model diagrams. This format supports:
- Individual node color coding by object type
- Thick arrows (`==>`) for Master-Detail relationships
- Left-to-right flow for readability
### Relationship Arrows
```
--> Lookup (LK) - optional parent, no cascade delete
==> Master-Detail (MD) - required parent, cascade delete
-.-> Conversion/special relationship (e.g., Lead converts)
```
### Object Node Format
```
ObjectName["ObjectName<br/>(record count)"]
```
Example: `Account["Account<br/>(317)"]`
---
## Enhanced ERD Features
### Object Type Color Coding
When using the flowchart-based ERD format, objects are color-coded by type:
| Object Type | Color | Fill | Stroke |
|-------------|-------|------|--------|
| Standard Objects | Sky Blue | `#bae6fd` | `#0369a1` |
| Custom Objects (`__c`) | Orange | `#fed7aa` | `#c2410c` |
| External Objects (`__x`) | Green | `#a7f3d0` | `#047857` |
### LDV (Large Data Volume) Indicators
For orgs with large datasets, query record counts and display LDV indicators:
```bash
python3 ~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/sf-skills/sf-diagram-mermaid/scripts/query-org-metadata.py \
--objects Account,Contact,Opportunity \
--target-org myorg
```
Objects with >2M records display: `LDV[~4M]`
### OWD (Org-Wide Defaults)
Display sharing model on entities: `OWD:Private`, `OWD:ReadWrite`, `OWD:Parent`
### Relationship Types
| Label | Type | Arrow Style | Behavior |
|-------|------|-------------|----------|
| `LK` | Lookup | `-->` | Optional parent, no cascade |
| `MD` | Master-Detail | `==>` | Required parent, cascade delete |
In flowchart format:
- Lookup: `-->` (single arrow)
- Master-Detail: `==>` (thick double arrow)
### Data Model Templates
| Template | Objects | Path |
|----------|---------|------|
| **Core** | Account, Contact, Opportunity, Case | `templates/datamodel/salesforce-erd.md` |
| **Sales Cloud** | Account, Contact, Lead, Opportunity, Product, Campaign | `templates/datamodel/sales-cloud-erd.md` |
| **Service Cloud** | Case, Entitlement, Knowledge, ServiceContract | `templates/datamodel/service-cloud-erd.md` |
| **Campaigns** | Campaign, CampaignMember, CampaignInfluence | `templates/datamodel/campaigns-erd.md` |
| **Territory Management** | Territory2, Territory2Model, UserTerritory2Association | `templates/datamodel/territory-management-erd.md` |
| **Party Model** | AccountContactRelation, ContactContactRelation | `templates/datamodel/party-model-erd.md` |
| **Quote & Order** | Quote, QuoteLineItem, Order, OrderItem | `templates/datamodel/quote-order-erd.md` |
| **Forecasting** | ForecastingItem, ForecastingQuota, OpportunitySplit | `templates/datamodel/forecasting-erd.md` |
| **Consent (GDPR)** | Individual, ContactPointEmail, DataUsePurpose | `templates/datamodel/consent-erd.md` |
| **Files** | ContentDocument, ContentVersion, ContentDocumentLink | `templates/datamodel/files-erd.md` |
| **Scheduler** | ServiceAppointment, ServiceResource, ServiceTerritory | `templates/datamodel/scheduler-erd.md` |
| **Field Service** | WorkOrder, ServiceAppointment, TimeSheet | `templates/datamodel/fsl-erd.md` |
| **B2B Commerce** | WebStore, WebCart, BuyerGroup, BuyerAccount | `templates/datamodel/b2b-commerce-erd.md` |
| **Revenue Cloud** | ProductCatalog, ProductSellingModel, PriceAdjustment | `templates/datamodel/revenue-cloud-erd.md` |
### ERD Conventions Documentation
See `docs/erd-conventions.md` for complete documentation of:
- Object type indicators (`[STD]`, `[CUST]`, `[EXT]`)
- LDV display format
- OWD display format
- Relationship type labels
- Color palette details
---
## Best Practices
### Sequence Diagrams
- Use `autonumber` for OAuth flows (step tracking)
- Use `->>` for requests, `-->>` for responses
- Use `activate`/`deactivate` for long-running processes
- Group related actors with `box` blocks
- Add `Note over` for protocol details (tokens, codes)
### Data Model Diagrams
- Use `flowchart LR` format (left-to-right flow)
- Keep objects simple: name + record count only (no fields)
- Color code by object type: Blue=Standard, Orange=Custom, Green=External
- Use `-->` for Lookup, `==>` for Master-Detail relationships
- Add LDV indicator for objects >2M records
- Use API names, not labels (e.g., `Account` not "Accounts")
### Integration Diagrams
- Show error paths with `alt`/`else` blocks
- Include timeout handling for external calls
- Mark async calls with `-)` notation
- Add system icons for clarity (☁️ 🔄 🏭 💾)
### ASCII Diagrams
- Keep width ≤80 characters
- Use consistent box sizes
- Align arrows clearly
- Add step numbers for sequences

## Notes
- **Mermaid Rendering**: Works in GitHub, VS Code, Notion, Confluence, and most modern tools
- **ASCII Purpose**: Terminal compatibility, documentation that needs plain text
- **Color Accessibility**: Palette designed for color-blind accessibility
- **Template Customization**: Templates are starting points; customize per requirements
