What types of diagrams can I create with this skill?

It supports a wide range of Mermaid.js types including flowcharts, sequence diagrams, ER diagrams, C4 architecture diagrams, Gantt charts, state machines, and mindmaps.

Does this skill consume a lot of context tokens?

No, it uses a progressive loading strategy. It first loads a small gateway skill and only pulls in specific diagram libraries as needed, significantly saving context compared to loading all diagram rules at once.

How does the Mermaid Diagram Discovery skill activate?

The skill automatically activates whenever Claude Code detects you are working on tasks related to flowcharts, sequence diagrams, system architecture, or any form of visual documentation.

How do I view the diagrams generated by Claude?

The diagrams are generated in Mermaid.js markdown syntax, which renders automatically in GitHub, GitLab, VS Code (with extensions), and the Mermaid Live Editor.

Can I use this for project management?

Yes, it includes specialized support for Gantt charts and project timelines, making it ideal for visualizing roadmaps and task dependencies directly from your codebase.

Aprendizaje y Documentación

Automatically discovers and activates specialized Mermaid.js skills for creating flowcharts, sequence diagrams, and system architectures.

Acerca de

The Mermaid Diagram Discovery skill serves as an intelligent gateway for visual documentation within Claude Code. It optimizes context-efficiency through a progressive loading system, automatically detecting when a user is working on system design, database schemas, or process flows. By providing access to eight specialized sub-skills—including C4 architecture, ER diagrams, Gantt charts, and sequence diagrams—it ensures that Claude provides high-quality, valid Mermaid.js syntax tailored to the specific technical domain without overloading the conversation's context window.
