Causal Loop Diagram Generator

This skill produces a complete, working multi-CLD article for an MkDocs Material site. The output is a set of files that together render an article where each section discusses one feedback loop and shows it as an interactive draggable diagram, building up to a full-system view at the end.

What the user gets

When invoked on a topic (say, "make me a CLD article about supply chain bullwhip"), the skill produces:

1. One JSON file per loop (docs/sims/cld-viewer/examples/<id>-cld.json) — usually 3–5 nodes each, one per archetype loop in the topic.
2. One full-system JSON combining all loops around a shared central node.
3. The article markdown (docs/articles/<slug>.md) — progressive build-up, one section per loop, with inline interactive diagrams and a fullscreen-button per diagram.
4. The shared infrastructure (docs/articles/cld-inline.js, docs/sims/cld-viewer/) if not already present in the project.
5. Updated mkdocs.yml nav entries.

Every diagram is a live vis-network instance the reader can drag, zoom, and click to inspect. Not a static image.
