Mermaid Diagram Generator

What it does

This skill generates Mermaid diagrams from text descriptions. It translates natural language instructions into visual representations of flowcharts, sequence diagrams, Gantt charts, and other diagram types supported by the Mermaid syntax. The generated diagrams can be useful for documentation, planning, or visualizing complex processes.
