TL;DR

This skill generates Mermaid diagrams from plain requirements, covering twenty-three diagram types from flowcharts and sequence diagrams to C4 architecture and Gantt charts. It helps software architects, product managers, technical writers, and data engineers turn descriptions into visual documentation without leaving the editor. The skill reads syntax references before writing, so output is structured and render-ready.
