Alterlab Mermaid

alterlab-ieu/alterlab-mermaid

Writes Markdown documents and text-based Mermaid diagrams (flowcharts, sequence, class, ER, gantt, state, and more) with full style guides, 24 diagram-type references, and 9 document templates. Use when authoring a scientific document, report, analysis, or README, or when a diagram should be expressed as version-controllable Mermaid/Markdown text rather than a rendered image. For AI-rendered publication schematics use scientific-schematics instead. Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.
