## What it does

The skill reads `.claude/diamonds/active.yml` and lays out every recorded decision in the order it was made, dates included. Decisions sit under the mode the diamond was in: discovery up to `commit_to_build`, delivery after that. Steps not yet taken are marked `(next)`.

A script does the drawing, not the model: `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/render_diamonds.py`. Mermaid `stateDiagram-v2` is the default; `ascii` and `json` are also available. Flags `--scale`, `--theme`, `--no-gates` and `--no-confidence` change what ends up in the output. Two renders of the same record have to match, so nothing gets added by hand.

Everything here is read-only — `active.yml`, the decision log and any state stay as they are. The skill depends on the mycelium framework and will not run without `active.yml` present. `markdown-table` and `markdown-list` are not supported; the script fails on them. With no open diamond it prints `No open diamond: run /mycelium:start.` and exits 0.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add haabe/mycelium --skill diamond-render -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/diamond-render/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/diamond-render/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add haabe/mycelium --skill diamond-render -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/diamond-render/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add haabe/mycelium --skill diamond-render -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/diamond-render/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install haabe/mycelium diamond-render
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/diamond-render/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add haabe/mycelium --skill diamond-render -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/haabe/mycelium --path plugins/mycelium/skills/diamond-render
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/diamond-render/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add haabe/mycelium --skill diamond-render -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/haabe/mycelium/tree/HEAD/plugins/mycelium/skills/diamond-render/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- see which decisions a project has recorded and in what order
- split decisions into discovery and delivery phases
- spot the steps that have not happened yet
- check whether the diamonds file lags behind the decision log
- get a Mermaid diagram of project state for docs

## Example prompts
- Render `.claude/diamonds/active.yml` as Mermaid
- Show the decisions for all diamonds in ascii
- Render it without gates and without confidence

# Diamond Render

Read-only render of `.claude/diamonds/active.yml`. First specialist of the render fleet (with
`/mycelium:ost-render`, `/mycelium:cycle-render` and the dispatcher `/mycelium:render`).

**What it draws (v0.309.0, stage 5d-3, founder ruling DL-1372 V4).** Each diamond as the decisions
it has recorded, in the order recorded, with their dates, under the mode the diamond was in when it
took them: discovery until `commit_to_build`, delivery after (DL-1368 S1). Then the decisions still
to come, marked `(next)`. A loop iterates by appending (DL-1373), so a second `start_experiment` is
drawn as its own step where it happened, and the position does not move back. An L0 is not a loop:
it states its purpose (`state_purpose`) and reviews it (`review`). Until v0.309.0 this skill asked
the agent to draw four phases with transition labels of its own; the record has been decisions
since v0.306.0, and the picture is now drawn from them by code.

## When NOT to use

- To record a decision (move a diamond on) → `/mycelium:diamond-progress`.
- To score gates against current evidence → `/mycelium:diamond-assess`.
- To start a new diamond → `/mycelium:start`.

## Identifier exposure

**Declared**: NONE

### Scope (canvas surfaces touched)

| Canvas file | Identifier-bearing fields | Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| `.claude/diamonds/active.yml` | none in current schema (v1) | n/a |

### Rationale

`diamonds/active.yml` holds decisions, dates, gate statuses, scale and confidence. No contributor
names, no participant fields, no identifier-bearing prose. Zero identifier exposure as of v0.40.0.

**Future-schema-change caveat**: if a future schema adds an identifier field (e.g., per-team diamond
ownership for multi-team Mycelium per the deferred Team Topologies adoption), this declaration
becomes false. The skill must then be re-declared `YES` or `MIXED`, consult the registry per
`engine/render-conventions.md#hard-rule-consent--privacy-gate`, and ship redaction fixtures. The
schema-versioning rule surfaces the schema_version mismatch at runtime as a forcing function for the
re-audit.
