Beautiful Mermaid
Use this skill when authoring architecture, workflow, or methods diagrams.
When to use
- "make this mermaid look professional"
- "add system/workflow diagram"
- "export mermaid to svg"
Workflow
- Keep diagram semantics simple: clear nodes, directional flow, minimal crossing edges.
- Use consistent naming and grouping for methods sections.
- Prefer SVG outputs for manuscript-quality rendering.
- Validate diagram text compiles in Quarto render.
