Does it support non-UML visualizations?

Yes, it provides syntax for JSON/YAML structures, Gantt charts, MindMaps, WBS, and Network diagrams (nwdiag).

Does this skill generate the actual image file?

This skill provides the precise text-based syntax required for diagrams; you can use a PlantUML CLI, Docker container, or online server to render the resulting code into image files.

Can I use this for C4 model architecture diagrams?

Yes, it includes specific syntax patterns and include-statements for C4 Context and Component diagrams to help visualize high-level system architecture.

Do I need to install Java to use this skill?

The skill itself provides the syntax reference within Claude, but to render the diagrams locally, you typically need a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and GraphViz.

What UML diagrams are covered by this skill?

The reference covers all major UML types including Sequence, Class, Use Case, Activity, Component, Deployment, and State diagrams.
