Does it support custom widths for terminal display?

Yes, you can specify the total width and individual box widths to ensure the diagram fits perfectly within your specific terminal or document constraints.

What is the maximum recommended size for a diagram?

The skill works best for diagrams with 12 nodes or fewer. For larger graphs, it provides split strategies to break the diagram into readable sub-sections.

Can I use this skill to generate Mermaid or PlantUML diagrams?

No, this skill is specifically designed for environments without renderers and focuses exclusively on plain-text ASCII output.

How do I trigger this specific behavior in Claude Code?

You must explicitly mention 'ascii-diagram-boxflow' or use phrases like 'use ascii-diagram-boxflow to draw a diagram' to activate this skill.
