concept-cartographer

description

Generate visual concept maps, flowcharts, architecture diagrams, and relationship diagrams from structured notes or technical content using Mermaid syntax. Use when the user has lecture notes, study materials, or technical documentation and wants visual diagrams to aid understanding. Produces multiple diagram types: concept hierarchy maps, process flowcharts, architecture diagrams, comparison matrices, timeline diagrams, and mind maps. Trigger phrases: "create diagrams from notes", "visualize concepts", "concept map", "make flowcharts", "diagram this", "visual notes".

Concept Cartographer — Visual Knowledge Mapper

Audience: Agents transforming lecture notes or technical documentation into visual diagrams. Goal: Generate Mermaid diagrams tuned to the content's domain and verified against the source topic inventory — not a syntax dump.

Diagram Type Selection

Claude already knows Mermaid syntax. The delta this skill provides is picking the right diagram type for the content and verifying coverage. One illustrative example per type is in references/mermaid-examples.md; load it only if a reminder is needed.

Diagram type	Use when content has	Typical size
Concept hierarchy (graph TD)	Parent-child topic structure, taxonomies	5–15 nodes
Process flowchart (flowchart LR)	Algorithms, workflows, decision branches	5–12 nodes
Architecture (graph LR + subgraphs)	System components + data flow	3–4 subgraphs, 10–15 nodes
Sequence (sequenceDiagram)	Interactions over time, API/protocol flows
