Running /generate-ilograph analyzes a repository, prompts the user to choose which system flows to diagram, and writes the results to ilograph.yaml, which can be pasted into the Ilograph web app, Ilograph for Desktop, or Ilograph for Confluence Cloud; a companion /update-ilograph command refreshes the file in place. Each flow step includes code references to specific lines so the diagram can be audited for accuracy, and the YAML declarative syntax lets humans and agents iterate on existing diagrams rather than recreating them.", "body_md": "**Create detailed, auditable, and interactive sequence diagrams of a codebase in minutes**\n\n*Browsing a sequence and following a code citation link to GitHub*\n\n[Installation](#installation) · [Usage](#usage) · [Examples](#examples) · [Why Ilograph](#why-ilograph) · [Discussion](#discussion)\n\nThis repository contains [agent skills](https://agentskills.io/specification) for creating detailed, auditable, and interactive [Ilograph](https://www.ilograph.com) sequence diagrams of a codebase.\n\n## **Claude Code**\n\nFirst, add the marketplace:\n\n```\n/plugin marketplace add ilograph/skills\n```\n\nThen install the plugin from it:\n\n```\n/plugin install ilograph-skills\n```\n\nOpen a code repository and run\n\n```\n/generate-ilograph\n```\n\nAfter analyzing the codebase, the agent will prompt you to choose which system flows to diagram. The number of suggested flows will vary with the size and complexity of the codebase.\n\nOnce complete, your Ilograph diagrams will be written to `ilograph.yaml`. Paste the contents of this file as a new diagram into the [Ilograph web app](https://app.ilograph.com/new/) (online version), [Ilograph for Desktop](https://www.ilograph.com/desktop/) (offline version), or [Ilograph for Confluence Cloud](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1229877/ilograph-interactive-diagrams-for-confluence?tab=overview&hosting=cloud).\n\nTo keep diagram content and code references in sync with the codebase, run\n\n```\n/update-ilograph\n```\n\nThis will update the `ilograph.yaml` file in place.\n\n| [**Helm Dashboard**](https://app.ilograph.com/demo.ilograph.Helm%2520Dashboard/) | [** Vaultwarden**](https://app.ilograph.com/demo.ilograph.Vaultwarden/) | [** Zed**](https://app.ilograph.com/demo.ilograph.Zed/) | \n\nIlograph diagrams are interactive and zoomable, allowing coding agents to include far more detail than is possible with static, image-based diagrams.\n\nSteps in the flows generated with these skills include code references to specific lines in the codebase, ensuring that each flow can be audited for accuracy.\n\nSequence flows in Ilograph diagrams can be nested, meaning there is practically no limit to how large and detailed they can be.\n\nIlograph diagrams are defined in a declarative syntax (YAML), allowing both humans and agents to iterate on existing diagrams instead of re-creating them from scratch when a codebase changes.\n\nPlease join the [Ilograph Discussion on GitHub](https://github.com/orgs/ilograph/discussions) to share feedback and ideas.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/generate-ilograph-a-skill-to-create-auditable-sequence-diagrams-of-a-codebase", "canonical_source": "https://github.com/ilograph/skills", "published_at": "2026-09-13 12:25:29+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-09-13 12:40:21.418186+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-agents", "ai-tools", "developer-tools", "ai-products"], "entities": ["Ilograph", "Generate-Ilograph", "Claude Code", "Ilograph for Desktop", "Ilograph for Confluence Cloud", "GitHub", "Helm Dashboard"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/generate-ilograph-a-skill-to-create-auditable-sequence-diagrams-of-a-codebase", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/generate-ilograph-a-skill-to-create-auditable-sequence-diagrams-of-a-codebase.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/generate-ilograph-a-skill-to-create-auditable-sequence-diagrams-of-a-codebase.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/generate-ilograph-a-skill-to-create-auditable-sequence-diagrams-of-a-codebase.jsonld"}}
