SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill standardizes scientific documentation by enforcing the use of markdown with embedded Mermaid diagrams as the canonical format, ensuring clarity, version control friendliness, and AI parseability.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Unified Documentation Standard: Establishes markdown + Mermaid as the default for all reports, analyses, and diagrams.
  • Diagram-as-Code: Leverages text-based Mermaid diagrams for version control, token efficiency, and native rendering across platforms.
  • Use Case: When documenting a complex system architecture, instead of a static image, create a Mermaid architecture-beta diagram within your markdown file, ensuring it's version-controlled, easily editable, and accessible to AI agents.

Quick Start

Use the markdown-mermaid-writing skill to create a new markdown file documenting the system architecture using a Mermaid diagram.
