How does the diagram validation work?

It utilizes the validate-mermaid.sh script to automatically check the syntax of Mermaid.js code within your architectural documents to ensure they render correctly.

When should I use this skill?

Load this skill during the planning or design phase of a project, specifically when creating system diagrams, defining high-level structures, or writing technical RFCs.

Does it support cloud-specific architectures?

While focused on general patterns, the templates and validation tools are designed to be adaptable for AWS, GCP, Azure, and on-premise infrastructure designs.

Can it help identify components in my design?

Yes, the extract-components.sh script parses your architecture documents to create a structured list of all defined system components for easier tracking.

What architectural patterns are included?

The skill provides access to common patterns such as microservices, layered architecture, and event-driven design through its integrated template library.
