What is a Mermaid diagram?

Mermaid is a JavaScript-based diagramming and charting tool that uses Markdown-inspired text definitions to render diagrams, making them easy to maintain and version control.

Can Claude render the diagrams directly?

Claude generates the Mermaid syntax which can be instantly rendered in platforms like GitHub, GitLab, VS Code, Notion, or the Mermaid Live Editor.

Which diagram types are supported by this skill?

It supports a wide range including flowcharts, sequence diagrams, class diagrams, state diagrams, ERDs, Gantt charts, Git graphs, and C4 architecture diagrams.

Why use text-based diagrams instead of image files?

Text-based diagrams are stored as code, meaning they are searchable, easy to edit without special software, and can be tracked via Git version control.

Does it support the C4 model for architecture?

Yes, the skill includes specialized guidance for creating System Context, Container, Component, and Code diagrams following the C4 architecture standard.
