SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the problem of inconsistent, non-versionable, and hard-to-maintain scientific documentation by enforcing a standard where text-based Mermaid diagrams are the canonical source of truth.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Standardized Documentation: Enforces a strict style guide for markdown documents, ensuring professional and consistent output.
  • Mermaid-First Visualization: Provides templates and guides for 24 different diagram types, ensuring structural relationships are always captured as version-controlled text.
  • Use Case: When drafting a complex research paper or architecture decision record, use this skill to automatically generate the appropriate Mermaid diagram for your data flow or system architecture, ensuring it remains editable and diffable in git.

Quick Start

Use the markdown-mermaid-writing skill to create a new research paper document using the standard template and include a flowchart diagram for the experimental workflow.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create version-controlled scientific documentation with markdown and Mermaid diagrams?

To create version-controlled scientific documentation, you can use markdown and embedded Mermaid diagrams as the canonical source of truth. This approach provides templates and style guides for 24 diagram types, ensuring your reports and technical guides remain diffable in git and AI-parseable.

What is the best way to visualize system architecture in a text-based format for git?

The best way to visualize system architecture in a text-based format is using Mermaid diagrams within markdown documentation. This method provides templates for 24 distinct diagram types, ensuring your structural visualizations are token-efficient, AI-parseable, and fully trackable in version control.

Does markdown documentation support automated diagram generation for architecture decision records?

Yes, markdown documentation supports automated diagram generation for architecture decision records through embedded Mermaid diagrams. This standard provides specific templates and style guides to automatically generate appropriate data flow or system architecture visualizations.

When do I need text-based Mermaid diagrams instead of standard image files for technical guides?

You need text-based Mermaid diagrams instead of standard image files when your technical guides require version-controlled, token-efficient, and AI-parseable documentation workflows. This approach ensures structural visualizations remain editable, diffable in git, and consistent across your scientific reports.

Can I use markdown and Mermaid for AI-parseable scientific writing workflows?

Yes, you can use markdown and Mermaid for AI-parseable scientific writing workflows. This standard enforces strict style guides for markdown documents and structural visualizations, ensuring all reports and architecture decision records are token-efficient and easily processed by AI systems.
