Can I use this to replace existing ASCII art in my docs?

Absolutely. The skill is specifically instructed to convert ASCII art on sight into maintainable, professional Mermaid or DOT code blocks.

Does this skill support accessibility standards?

Yes, it automatically includes accTitle and accDescr attributes to ensure all diagrams comply with WCAG AA accessibility standards for screen readers.

What is the Cagle color palette?

It is a standardized set of hex colors used by this skill to provide semantic meaning, such as specific colors for infrastructure, services, data, and security nodes.

Which tool should I use: Mermaid or DOT?

The skill defaults to Mermaid for most documentation and web-native rendering, but switches to DOT/Graphviz for pure network graphs and maximum layout control.

Learning & Documentation

Generates accessible, high-quality Mermaid and DOT/Graphviz diagrams with semantic coloring for technical architecture and documentation.

About

This skill empowers Claude to generate professional-grade visual representations of complex software systems, workflows, and data models. By enforcing the use of Mermaid and DOT/Graphviz over legacy ASCII art, it ensures all diagrams are maintainable, version-controllable, and WCAG AA accessible. The skill includes a specialized 'Cagle' color palette for consistent semantic styling across infrastructure, services, and data layers, making it an essential tool for developers and architects documenting everything from database schemas and API flows to Kubernetes deployments.
