SUMMARY

What it does

This skill enforces a standard for creating scientific documentation using Markdown with embedded Mermaid diagrams as the default and canonical format. It provides style guides for Markdown and Mermaid, references for 24 diagram types, and 9 document templates. The skill emphasizes text-based diagrams for version control, token efficiency, and accessibility. It includes a three-phase workflow where Phase 1 (Mermaid in Markdown) is mandatory, with optional downstream conversions to Python-generated charts or AI-generated visuals. The skill also integrates with other skills like scientific-schematics, scientific-writing, and literature-review.
