mermaid

SKILL.md

Quick Start: Identify diagram type (flowchart/sequence/state/class/ER/gantt/mindmap) → Define nodes with shapes → Connect with arrows → Wrap in `mermaid fence. Default: top-to-bottom (TD), use flowchart over graph, Unicode supported.

| Diagram won't render | Check unmatched brackets, quotes | | List syntax error | [1.Item] not [1. Item] | | Subgraph reference fails | Use ID not display name | | Too crowded | Split into multiple diagrams | | Crossing connections | Use different layout direction or invisible edges |

For diagram-specific syntax and advanced features, refer to references below:

Create flowcharts, sequence diagrams, state machines, class diagrams, Gantt charts, mindmaps, and more. Best for process flows, API interactions, system architecture, and technical documentation. NOT for data-driven charts (use vega) or quick KPI visuals (use infographic). Source: xicilion/markdown-viewer-extension.
