How do I ensure the diagrams follow a specific style?

The skill can apply 'skinparam' directives, themes, and custom definitions to control colors, fonts, and layout spacing for a consistent professional look.

How does PlantUML differ from Mermaid in this skill?

PlantUML is focused on precise UML standards and enterprise-level architecture (like C4), whereas Mermaid is a JavaScript-based tool optimized for lightweight Markdown rendering in browsers or GitHub.

What types of diagrams are supported?

It supports all standard UML diagrams (Class, Sequence, Activity, etc.) plus non-UML types like Gantt charts, MindMaps, WBS, Network diagrams, and JSON/YAML visualizations.

Can I generate C4 model diagrams with this skill?

Yes, this skill includes specialized support for the C4-PlantUML library, allowing you to create Context, Container, Component, and Dynamic diagrams.
