  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • Self-contained

    Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.

  • Open source

    Published by automateyournetwork on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Aws Architecture Diagram AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/automateyournetwork/netclaw/tree/main/workspace/skills/aws-architecture-diagram
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/automateyournetwork/netclaw.git /tmp/netclaw
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/netclaw/workspace/skills/aws-architecture-diagram .claude/skills/aws-architecture-diagram
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Aws Architecture Diagram in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Aws Architecture Diagram on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Aws Architecture Diagram is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

AWS Architecture Diagram

MCP Server

  • Command: uvx awslabs.aws-diagram-mcp-server@latest (stdio transport)
  • Requires: AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_REGION (or AWS_PROFILE)
  • Dependency: Requires graphviz installed on the system (apt install graphviz or brew install graphviz)

Key Capabilities

  • Auto-discovery: Scan AWS account and render infrastructure as a diagram
  • Network topology: VPCs, subnets, route tables, IGW, NAT GW, TGW connections
  • Service mapping: EC2, ELB, RDS, Lambda placed in their VPC/subnet context
  • Multiple formats: PNG, SVG, PDF output
  • Filtered views: Scope diagram to specific VPCs, services, or tags

Workflow: Network Architecture Diagram

When a user asks "draw our AWS network" or "show me the architecture":

  1. Generate diagram: Use diagram tool scoped to networking resources
  2. Include: VPCs, subnets (public/private), IGW, NAT GW, TGW, VPN, peering connections
  3. Label: CIDR blocks, subnet names, AZ placement
  4. Connections: Show routing paths — TGW attachments, peering links, VPN tunnels
  5. Output: PNG or SVG file for sharing in Slack or documentation
  6. Report: Architecture summary alongside the diagram

Workflow: VPC Detail Diagram

When focusing on a specific VPC:

  1. Scope to VPC: Filter diagram to one VPC by ID or tag
  2. Show subnets: Public, private, isolated — grouped by AZ
  3. Show route tables: Main and custom route tables with key routes
  4. Show gateways: IGW, NAT GW, VPC endpoints
  5. Show security: NACLs, security group relationships
  6. Output: Detailed VPC topology diagram

Workflow: Multi-Account Network Diagram

When documenting cross-account architecture:

  1. Hub-spoke topology: Show Transit Gateway as the hub
  2. VPC attachments: Each spoke VPC with its CIDR and purpose
  3. Route propagation: Show which routes propagate where
  4. VPN/DX: On-premises connections via VPN or Direct Connect
  5. Inspection VPC: Network Firewall placement if applicable
  6. Output: Enterprise network topology diagram

Important Rules

  • Graphviz required — the MCP server generates Graphviz DOT files and renders them; graphviz must be installed
  • Large accounts may produce complex diagrams — scope with filters for clarity
  • Region-specific — diagram shows resources in the configured AWS_REGION only
  • Read-only — only discovers and renders, never modifies resources
  • Record in GAIT — log diagram generation for audit trail

Environment Variables

  • AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_REGION (or AWS_PROFILE)

Failure Behavior

  • On a tool error (timeout, unreachable host, malformed response), report the failure and its error message directly to the user rather than fabricating or guessing at results.
  • For a confirmed read-only call, check connectivity and retry once if appropriate. For any call that changes state or sends a message, a timeout does not prove the action failed: inspect current state or delivery status before retrying, preserve the required approval/change gates, and do not repeat an action whose outcome is unknown.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Aws Architecture Diagram AI skill do?

AWS architecture diagrams — generate visual network topology diagrams from live AWS infrastructure. Use when drawing AWS network diagrams, visualizing VPCs, mapping Transit Gateway topology, or generating architecture documentation.

Why use Aws Architecture Diagram on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Aws Architecture Diagram is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Aws Architecture Diagram in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/automateyournetwork/netclaw/tree/main/workspace/skills/aws-architecture-diagram. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Aws Architecture Diagram?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Aws Architecture Diagram?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Aws Architecture Diagram with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Aws Architecture Diagram AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by automateyournetwork under the Apache-2.0 license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
