Skills plugin

The nifdi skills plugin packages the local MCP server with an Agent Skill for creating and editing diagrams. The MCP server supplies the tools; the skill teaches the agent how to use them well.

Its guidance covers diagram structure, layout, labels, styling, connectors, and a render-and-review loop. That makes it the recommended option for supported clients: the agent can both operate nifdi and apply the conventions needed to produce a clear diagram.

The plugin does not introduce a separate diagram format or storage service. It works with the same local .nifdi.svg files and visual editor as the standalone MCP server.

See the plugin’s README for current client support, installation instructions, and example prompts. If your client supports Agent Skills but not plugins, you can install the skill directory and configure the MCP server separately.
