SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Diagrams clarify complex workflows in documentation by turning verbose explanations into visual sequences and flows.

Core Features & Use Cases

Mermaid-based diagrams to illustrate actor handoffs, phase gates, failure paths, and state transitions.
Follow the recommended 2-4 word titles and use the local Mermaid wrapper instead of raw Mermaid fences.
Leverage actorIcons to distinguish Human and Agent and validate pages with the docs build.

Quick Start

Edit a docs page to add a Mermaid diagram using the local wrapper and ensure the diagram remains concise and properly labeled.

FAQPage Schema

How do I convert complex workflows into Mermaid diagrams for documentation?▼

Convert complex workflows into Mermaid diagrams by summarizing verbose explanations into visual sequences and flows that illustrate actor handoffs, phase gates, failure paths, and state transitions. This clarifies product docs, API references, and design documents.

What's the best way to visualize actor handoffs and state transitions in API references?▼

Visualize actor handoffs and state transitions in API references using Mermaid-based diagrams that enforce short titles and leverage actorIcons to distinguish Human and Agent roles, ensuring clear visual sequences for complex technical flows.

Do I need a local Mermaid wrapper to generate sequence diagrams for docs pages?▼

You need a local Mermaid wrapper, such as apps/docs/components/mermaid.tsx, instead of raw Mermaid fences to generate sequence diagrams for docs pages. This wrapper enforces concise labeling and validates the diagrams during the docs build process.

Can I use raw Mermaid fences directly in markdown documentation?▼

Using raw Mermaid fences directly in markdown documentation is not recommended. The local Mermaid wrapper enforces 2-4 word titles, applies actorIcons to distinguish roles, and validates the rendered diagrams during the docs build to ensure clarity.

How do I validate Mermaid sequence diagrams during a docs build?▼

Validate Mermaid sequence diagrams during a docs build by using the local Mermaid wrapper at apps/docs/components/mermaid.tsx. This wrapper ensures diagrams remain concise, properly labeled with short titles, and structurally sound before deployment.

Why use diagrams for product docs and design documentation?▼

Diagrams for product docs and design documentation clarify complex workflows by turning verbose explanations into visual sequences and flows. They visually represent failure paths, gates, and state transitions to significantly aid reader understanding.
