FAQ

Q: Can I edit the generated diagrams?
A: Yes. Swimlane and approval-flow skills output Draw.io (.drawio) files you can keep editing in draw.io or diagrams.net; others export Mermaid code or images.
Q: Which diagram types are supported?
A: Flowcharts, swimlanes, approval flows, layered architecture, turtle (5M1E) diagrams, timelines, C4, sequence, state, ER and Gantt charts — different skills cover different templates.
Q: What input format do they take?
A: Plain natural language: a paragraph, meeting notes, an SOP document or a requirement spec. The agent maps activities and roles first, then draws.
Q: Why Mermaid instead of an image?
A: Mermaid renders natively in GitHub, Notion and most docs tools, and the source lives next to your text — so diagrams get versioned and reviewed like code.
Q: Will it get a complex process wrong?
A: Do it in two steps: have the agent list activities and roles for confirmation first, then generate the diagram. Fixes are conversational — "move approval before finance".
Q: Do I need to install anything?
A: No. Generated files open in browser-based draw.io or any Mermaid renderer; the whole loop stays local or in your browser.
