Flowchart Skill

A wall of prose describing a process is hard to follow; a flowchart makes the steps, branches, and dead-ends obvious at a glance. This skill turns a described process into a clean, correctly-structured Mermaid flowchart — with real decision diamonds, parallel paths, and end states — not a vague box-and-arrow sketch.

Required Inputs

Ask for these only if they aren't already provided:

• 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) — top-down (TD) for most processes, left-right (LR) for pipelines.

If the process is ambiguous, state the assumption you made rather than inventing steps.
