See the the rake tasks with rails -T erd.

task special_diagram: :environment do
  require "rails/plant_uml"

  options = {
    models: %w[Something Special OtherModel],
    title: "My Special Diagram",
    filename: "docs/special_diagram"
    app_name: Rails.application.class.module_parent_name
  }

  diagram = RailsErd::PlantUml.new(RailsERD::Domain.generate, options)
  diagram.save
end
