Can I use special characters in my architecture diagrams?

The skill includes specific rules to handle special characters, such as converting hyphens to spaces in labels to prevent Mermaid parsing errors.

What types of diagrams are supported?

It currently supports Sequence Diagrams for interactions, Architecture Diagrams (beta) for infrastructure, and Flowcharts for process logic.

Does this skill require external tools?

Yes, it requires mermaid-cli to be installed globally (npm install -g @mermaid-js/mermaid-cli) and access to a bash environment.

What happens if the Mermaid syntax is incorrect?

The skill includes an automatic self-healing workflow. It catches errors during the validation phase and attempts to fix common syntax issues before showing you the result.

Learning & Documentation

Generates and validates professional Mermaid diagrams with automatic syntax checking and self-healing capabilities.

This skill empowers Claude to create complex Sequence, Architecture, and Flowchart diagrams using Mermaid syntax while ensuring they are technically valid. By leveraging mermaid-cli (mmdc), the skill automatically validates every diagram, identifies syntax errors, and applies self-healing fixes before delivery. This eliminates the common frustration of broken diagram syntax, making it an essential tool for documenting system architectures, API interaction flows, and complex business logic directly within the development environment.
