Can I use this for database design?

Yes, the skill specifically handles ER diagrams which are perfect for visualizing database schemas, entities, and cardinality.

How does this skill handle Mermaid syntax errors?

The skill includes a validation script that checks the Mermaid code blocks within your markdown files to ensure they are syntactically correct before you commit them.

What diagram types does the Mermaid skill support?

It supports Flowcharts (TB/LR), Sequence Diagrams, State Diagrams (v2), and Entity Relationship (ER) Diagrams.

Does it follow specific design best practices?

Yes, it is programmed to keep labels concise, use subgraphs for organization, and choose layout directions that maximize readability.
