# Template Index

This skill indexes all available templates. Each template demonstrates the correct
XML structure with the full `<mxfile>` wrapper, proper layers, edge routing,
shadows, and containers.

## Template Files

| Template | File | Use For |
|----------|------|---------|
| Flowchart | `commands/create.md` (Template Library section) | Process flows, algorithms |
| Sequence | `commands/create.md` (Sequence Diagram Template) | API flows, request traces |
| ER Diagram | `commands/create.md` (ER Diagram Template) | Database schemas |
| C4 Architecture | `commands/create.md` (C4 Architecture Template) | System architecture |
| UML Class | `commands/create.md` (UML Class Diagram Template) | OO design |
| Kubernetes | `commands/create.md` (Kubernetes Diagram Template) | K8s topology |
| Swimlane | `commands/create.md` (Swimlane Diagram Template) | Cross-team flows |
| Mind Map | `commands/create.md` (Mind Map Template) | Brainstorming |
| Simple Flowchart | `skills/xml-generation/SKILL.md` (Example 1) | Quick processes |
| AWS Architecture | `skills/xml-generation/SKILL.md` (Example 2) | Cloud infra |
| UML Sequence | `skills/xml-generation/SKILL.md` (Example 3) | Detailed sequences |

## Template Requirements

Every template MUST include:

1. `<mxfile>` wrapper (never bare `<mxGraphModel>`)
2. `background="none"` on `<mxGraphModel>`
3. At least 2 layers (content + annotations)
4. Title annotation cell on the annotations layer
5. `shadow=1;` on primary shapes
6. `html=1;` with `<b>` tags on labels
7. `edgeStyle=orthogonalEdgeStyle;rounded=1;jettySize=auto;` on edges
8. `strokeWidth=2;` on primary flow edges
9. Explicit `exitX/exitY/entryX/entryY` on edges between non-aligned shapes
10. Containers for grouped elements
11. Legend if 3+ color categories
