Frequently asked questions
AI-generated answers based on this skill's SKILL.md and metadata
What diagram types does Mermaid Skill support?
Mermaid Skill enables you to create flowcharts, sequence diagrams, class diagrams, ER schemas, state machines, Gantt charts, and pie charts from simple text syntax. Each diagram type uses its own declarative format, letting you define structure and relationships without manual positioning. The skill handles rendering across all supported chart types.
How do I create a flowchart with mermaid?
Mermaid Skill lets you build flowcharts by writing text-based syntax that defines nodes and connections. You specify node shapes, labels, and arrow directions using simple notation—for example, `A --> B` creates a connection from node A to node B. Mermaid Skill then renders the complete flowchart automatically without requiring manual layout work.
Can Mermaid Skill help me learn mermaid syntax?
Yes. Mermaid Skill provides guidance on mermaid diagram syntax and best practices, covering flowchart notation, sequence diagram formatting, class diagram structure, and more. The skill can explain syntax rules, show examples for each diagram type, and help you troubleshoot rendering issues when your diagrams don't display as expected.
What export options and rendering methods does Mermaid Skill offer?
Mermaid Skill supports multiple deployment approaches: run the mermaid CLI (mmdc) locally for offline rendering, or use the Kroki API for instant cloud-based diagram generation. Both methods export to standard formats, allowing you to embed diagrams in documentation, presentations, or web applications without manual positioning.
How can Mermaid Skill convert documentation into visual diagrams?
Mermaid Skill transforms written documentation into visual diagrams by translating descriptive text into mermaid syntax. You describe your process, system architecture, or workflow in natural language, and Mermaid Skill converts it into the appropriate diagram type—flowchart, sequence diagram, ER schema, or state machine—ready for rendering and export.
Does Mermaid Skill include a visual editor or diagram converter?
Mermaid Skill provides text-based syntax guidance and conversion capabilities rather than a built-in visual editor. However, it can help you generate mermaid code from descriptions and convert between documentation formats and diagram syntax. You can then use external mermaid editors or the Kroki API to preview and refine your diagrams interactively.
