My take on
Diagram Design (cathrynlavery/diagram-design) after testing it with Claude Code:
- ✅ It made a good diagram. Clean boxes, labeled arrows, a legend, and a "data tier" group. It looks designed, not auto-generated.
- 📄 One file, nothing else needed. The diagram is a single HTML page you can open by double-clicking.
- 🎨 It asks about your brand first. Nice for teams, but it adds an extra back-and-forth before the first diagram.
- 🐢 Not instant: about 4.5 minutes in total for a 4-box diagram, because it plans and checks its own layout.
- 👍 Great if you want diagrams that look good in docs and slides. Overkill for a quick sketch.
