markdown-mermaid-writing

Markdown documentation with embedded Mermaid diagrams is created using template-driven writing that standardizes scientific and technical reports, READMEs, and ADRs. The process applies style-checked Mermaid syntax to ensure diagrams, tables, and collapsible sections render correctly within version-controlled files.

Choosing the right Mermaid diagram type involves matching the visual explanation to your content structure, such as workflows, architectures, timelines, data models, or comparisons. The skill provides Mermaid diagram guidance to help select and write the appropriate diagram for your specific technical documentation needs.

Markdown and Mermaid are ideal for version-controlled documentation like decision records, status updates, and tutorials. The approach produces polished documents with consistent heading hierarchy, footnote citations, and theme-safe Mermaid syntax that are easy to read, diff, and maintain in version control systems.

Citations and accessibility annotations are added to markdown reports through strict citation discipline and standard markdown features. The process enforces footnote citations, clean heading hierarchy, collapsible sections, and accessibility annotations alongside style-checked Mermaid syntax for structured scientific and technical writing.

Generating research papers and system design documents with visual explanations is fully supported. The template-driven writing process transforms project ideas, analyses, and system designs into polished markdown documents with inline Mermaid diagrams, making complex technical information easy to read and maintain.
