What happens if the Stitch API is down?

The system features a built-in fallback handler that automatically switches to local HTML generation, ensuring your workflow is never interrupted.

Is a Google Stitch API key required?

An API key is required only for high-fidelity '--force-hifi' mockups. Basic HTML wireframes work locally without any external API keys.

What is the main benefit of the hybrid mockup system?

It provides the best of both worlds: fast, local HTML generation for quick iterations and high-fidelity Google Stitch API rendering for professional, presentation-ready designs.

Can this skill update my existing documentation?

Yes, the skill specifically targets Markdown files to detect ASCII art and replace it with rendered PNG images, keeping your docs visually consistent.
