Can it generate visual diagrams?

It creates structured Markdown and ASCII-based diagrams that are compatible with code repositories, text-based environments, and documentation files.

When should I use this skill?

Use it when you need to understand complex system architectures, map component dependencies, plan information hierarchies, or document decision trees.

What is the Mapping & Visualization Scaffolds skill?

It is a specialized capability for Claude Code designed to help users create visual documentation for complex systems, processes, and knowledge structures.

Does it support large-scale systems?

Yes, it includes specific strategies for managing systems with over 50 nodes, including layering techniques and creating focused sub-maps to maintain clarity.

How does it ensure diagram quality?

The skill utilizes a built-in validation rubric to check for completeness, clarity, and logical directionality in every map or diagram produced.
