SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Visualizing complex software architectures and performance metrics for inclusion in research papers can be time-consuming and error-prone. This skill automates the generation of Mermaid diagrams (flowcharts, sequence diagrams, class diagrams, and architecture diagrams) and markdown visuals by analyzing the repository structure and code relationships. It outputs ready-to-embed visuals with descriptive captions and source references.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generate 2-3 diagram types per module (Flowchart, Sequence Diagram, Class Diagram, Architecture Diagram) to cover architectural and interaction perspectives.
  • Produce Markdown visuals including diagrams and performance tables suitable for paper sections and figure captions.
  • Validate against code structure to ensure all referenced components exist and provide source-file citations for reproducibility.

Quick Start

Run visual-generator on a repository to generate Mermaid diagrams and visuals ready for a research paper.
