Markdown Viewer
Use this skill when the user wants a diagram, visualization, architecture view, data chart, technical documentation graphic, infographic, mind map, or editorial-quality content card directly inside Markdown.
Markdown Viewer Agent Skills is an opinionated skill pack for AI coding agents. It covers diagram generation, data visualization, and technical documentation using multiple Markdown-rendered engines, including PlantUML, Vega/Vega-Lite, JSON Canvas, infographic blocks, and direct HTML/CSS embeds.
Setup
If the upstream skill pack is not installed, install it first:
