Creating visual diagrams for documentation often involves external tools, image files, and complex embedding, making maintenance difficult. This skill provides a simple, text-based solution for embedding diagrams directly into any GitHub Flavored Markdown file.
graph-easy handles the visual arrangement, saving design time.Create an ASCII diagram for the README.md file. Show a pipeline with 'Input' flowing to 'Process' and then to 'Output'.

ASCII diagrams embed directly into Markdown files using graph-easy, which converts text-based graph definitions into formatted ASCII output. No external image files or rendering tools are needed—diagrams render as plain text suitable for READMEs, design docs, and specifications.
Yes. Graph-easy generates pure ASCII diagrams that render natively in GFM without image dependencies or external rendering. Diagrams stay as text in version control, simplifying updates and reviews.
Define relationships between nodes—Input, Process, Output—and graph-easy automatically arranges them into clear ASCII flowcharts and pipelines. The skill handles layout, letting you focus on documenting system flow in plain text.
Embed ASCII diagrams directly in Markdown as text. Graph-easy eliminates image file maintenance by rendering diagrams as ASCII art inline, keeping documentation self-contained and version-controllable.
Graph-easy relies on the Graph::Easy Perl module, installed via mise or cpanm. The skill includes a preflight check to validate graph-easy availability in PATH before diagram generation.
Use ASCII diagrams for documentation that prioritizes version control, text-based collaboration, and low-friction updates. They work best in Markdown-heavy workflows where visual clarity and plain-text maintainability matter equally.
