Which diagram types are supported?

It supports a wide range of formats including flowcharts, sequence diagrams, mind maps, Entity Relationship Diagrams (ERDs), and state machine diagrams.

How do I disable the suggestions temporarily?

You can temporarily disable the skill by editing the local hookify file in your .claude directory and setting the 'enabled' flag to false.

Can I edit the diagrams created by this skill?

Yes, the skill is designed to work with diagramming tools and suggests exporting the generated output to draw.io for manual editing and refinement.

How does the skill know when to suggest a diagram?

It uses a hookify rule that monitors your prompts for specific design keywords like 'architecture', 'workflow', or 'data model' to trigger a helpful suggestion.

Will it interrupt me every time I mention a design word?

No, the skill logic is programmed to be helpful but not pushy, typically offering a visual suggestion only once per topic to maintain productivity.
