ASCII Art Alignment Skill
Create perfectly aligned ASCII diagrams using the hybrid character strategy.
Format Selection: Mermaid-First Principle
Default to Mermaid for all architecture, flow, and relationship diagrams. ASCII art is a last resort for specific use cases. SVG is preferred for polished, brand-ready illustrations.
| Use Case | Format | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Architecture diagrams | Mermaid | Auto-layout, renderable, LLM-readable |
| Flowcharts / sequences | Mermaid | Native tooling (renderMermaidDiagram) |
| Relationship maps | Mermaid | ER, class, graph diagrams |
| Branded visuals / logos | SVG | Scalable, animatable, platform-specific |
| Infographics / illustrations | SVG | Full design control, dark/light mode |
| UI mockups / wireframes | ASCII | Embedded in code comments |
| Terminal output examples | ASCII | Literal reproduction |
| Inline feature lists in boxes | ASCII | README decorations |
| Conversation mockups | ASCII | Chat-style formatting |
