Flowchart

Q: How do I know the Flowchart output is good?

The skill verifies itself against its own quality checks: Every decision diamond has all its branches labelled and leading somewhere (no dangling paths); There is a clear start and at least one explicit end state; Node shapes are used meaningfully (action vs decision vs start/end); The Mermaid block is syntactically valid and renders without edits.

🔵 Stable🕐 updated 2026-06-29 🔷 SkillSpec L3 pm-visuals

Turn a process, workflow, or decision logic into a clean flowchart. Use when asked to diagram a process, map a workflow, visualize steps/branches, or show 'how this works' as a chart. Produces a ready-to-render Mermaid flowchart (renders live in the playground, exportable as PNG/SVG) plus a short legend and the assumptions made.

What to give it

▸The process — what happens, roughly in order (steps, who does what).

▸Decision points — where the path branches, and on what condition.

▸Start and end states — where it begins and the possible outcomes (success, rejection, error).

▸Direction preference (optional) — (optional) — top-down (`TD`) for most processes, left-right (`LR`) for pipelines.

✅ The bar it holds itself to

Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.

✓Every decision diamond has all its branches labelled and leading somewhere (no dangling paths)

✓There is a clear start and at least one explicit end state

✓Node shapes are used meaningfully (action vs decision vs start/end)

✓The Mermaid block is syntactically valid and renders without edits

✓Assumptions about ambiguous steps are stated, not silently invented

⚠️ What it refuses to do

Do not produce a linear chain when the real process has branches — capture the decisions

Do not stuff full sentences into nodes — keep labels short, move detail to notes

Do not leave a decision with only one labelled branch — show what happens on every condition

Do not use parentheses or quotes inside labels in a way that breaks Mermaid

Do not invent steps to fill gaps — flag what you assumed

Example output

Input: Diagram the e-commerce checkout: review cart, enter shipping, choose payment, validate it. If payment is declined, allow up to 3 retries then cancel. If it succeeds, check inventory — in stock: confirm + email receipt; out of stock: refund + notify. Start at Checkout clicked; end states: confirmed, cancelled, refunded. · hand-written example
