Enterprise Architecture Diagram Generator (ArchiMate)

SkillDev tools

Create ArchiMate enterprise architecture diagrams using PlantUML stdlib macros. Best for TOGAF viewpoints, layered EA modeling (Business/Application/Technology), motivation analysis, and migration planning.

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

Connect ahel once, and every AI you use reads what you have installed.

Then ask your AI: use the Enterprise Architecture Diagram Generator (ArchiMate) skill

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by guoliang1114-boop/ariaai in skills/archimate/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Quick Start: Add !include <archimate/Archimate> → Declare typed elements → Connect with Rel_* macros → Group into layers with rectangle → Wrap in ```plantuml fence.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Always use ```plantuml or ```puml code fence. NEVER use ```text — it will NOT render as a diagram.

Critical Rules

  • Every diagram starts with @startuml and ends with @enduml
  • Must include !include <archimate/Archimate> before using any macros
  • Element syntax: Layer_Type(alias, "Label")
  • Relationship syntax: Rel_Type(fromAlias, toAlias, "label")
  • Use rectangle "Layer" { ... } to group elements into ArchiMate layers
  • Directional suffixes _Up, _Down, _Left, _Right control relationship direction

Capability Upgrade

Mode Selection

  • Quick: 根据用户描述生成单视角 ArchiMate 图。
  • Standard: 选择业务、应用、技术、动机或迁移视角,并输出可渲染 PlantUML。
  • Deep: 结合项目架构、业务能力、系统清单、数据流和迁移计划,形成多视角架构图包。

Viewpoint Decision Logic

先判断用户要解释什么:业务能力、应用集成、技术部署、动机目标、安全控制还是迁移路线。不同问题不能混在一张图里;复杂架构应拆成多个 viewpoint。

Quality Gates

  • 元素层级符合 ArchiMate 语义,不混用业务/应用/技术层。
  • 关系类型准确,避免全部使用普通箭头。
  • 图中节点数量适中,必要时拆图。
  • 命名能被业务和技术读者理解。
  • 输出包含可复制 PlantUML 和简短解读。
