Installation
SKILL.md
Use lukilabs/beautiful-mermaid (a JS library, not a CLI) to turn Mermaid diagrams into terminal-friendly ASCII/Unicode art.
Install a clean mermaid-ascii command on your PATH (symlink into /.local/bin by default):
scripts/mermaid-ascii auto-installs beautiful-mermaid into a writable cache directory (defaults to $XDGCACHEHOME/beautiful-mermaid-ascii, or /tmp/beautiful-mermaid-ascii) when needed, then runs the renderer.
