What types of diagrams can Claude create with this skill?

It supports a wide range of types including flowcharts, sequence diagrams, class diagrams, ER diagrams, state machines, Gantt charts, mindmaps, and XY charts.

Can I generate complex system architectures?

Yes, the skill supports C4 context diagrams and specialized architecture-beta blocks specifically designed for cloud and infrastructure visualization.

What platforms support these diagrams?

Most modern documentation platforms including GitHub, GitLab, VS Code, Obsidian, and Notion render Mermaid syntax natively within markdown files.

Do I need external software to view the diagrams?

No, diagrams are generated as plain text markdown blocks that render automatically as images in any supported markdown viewer or editor.

Learning & Documentation

Generates and integrates Mermaid-based charts, flowcharts, and architectural diagrams directly into markdown documentation.

About

This skill empowers Claude to translate complex technical concepts, system architectures, and database schemas into clear, visual Mermaid diagrams. By leveraging standard markdown syntax, it creates renderable visualizations compatible with GitHub, VS Code, and other major documentation platforms. It is particularly useful for documenting software workflows, API interactions, and data structures, allowing developers to maintain documentation alongside their code without needing external design tools.
