Can this skill help me fix Mermaid rendering errors?

Yes, it includes a dedicated section for 'Common Syntax Gotchas' to identify and resolve issues like reserved keywords, unescaped parentheses, and invalid HTML in labels.

Can I customize the look and feel of my diagrams?

Absolutely, the skill provides detailed references for theming, configuration directives, and layout optimization to ensure your diagrams meet project standards.

How is this different from the $arckit-diagram command?

This skill is designed for conversational syntax questions and quick lookups, whereas the command handles formal generation of versioned diagram artifacts with full document control.

Does it provide specific guidance for C4 architecture diagrams?

Yes, it includes specialized 'C4 Layout Science' which covers research-backed guidance on declaration ordering, edge crossing targets, and colour standards.

Which Mermaid diagram types are supported?

It supports 23 types, including Flowcharts, Sequence Diagrams, C4, Class, State, ER, Gantt, Mindmaps, Timeline, and several others.
