claude-timemachine c14d251142 claude-skills-reference: snapshot Claude Code skills as reference for Jerry
Five skills copied for Jerry to study how Anthropic structures task-specific
guidance for a coding agent. Not Jerry's own skills — examples of the pattern.

  mermaid/          Anthropic built-in; 18+ diagram types with on-demand references/
  caveman/          Plugin: compressed communication mode (3 intensity levels)
  caveman-commit/   Plugin: conventional-commit message generation
  caveman-review/   Plugin: compressed PR review comments
  compress/         Plugin: memory-file compression

The worth-borrowing pattern: every SKILL.md has a trigger line, rules, worked
examples, and boundaries. Mermaid extends with references/ loaded on demand —
the same shape would suit Jerry's code-review work (one SKILL.md plus
per-topic references like go-concurrency.md, auth.md).

README in the directory explains the layout and how Jerry can use these.

# Mermaid Diagram Generator
Generate high-quality Mermaid diagram code based on user requirements.
## Workflow
1. **Understand Requirements**: Analyze user description to determine the most suitable diagram type
2. **Read Documentation**: Read the corresponding syntax reference for the diagram type
3. **Generate Code**: Generate Mermaid code following the specification
4. **Apply Styling**: Apply appropriate themes and style configurations
## Diagram Type Reference
Select the appropriate diagram type and read the corresponding documentation:
| Type | Documentation | Use Cases |
| ---- | ------------- | --------- |
| Flowchart | [flowchart.md](references/flowchart.md) | Processes, decisions, steps |
| Sequence Diagram | [sequenceDiagram.md](references/sequenceDiagram.md) | Interactions, messaging, API calls |
| Class Diagram | [classDiagram.md](references/classDiagram.md) | Class structure, inheritance, associations |
| State Diagram | [stateDiagram.md](references/stateDiagram.md) | State machines, state transitions |
| ER Diagram | [entityRelationshipDiagram.md](references/entityRelationshipDiagram.md) | Database design, entity relationships |

## Configuration & Themes
- [Theming](references/config-theming.md) - Custom colors and styles
- [Directives](references/config-directives.md) - Diagram-level configuration
- [Layouts](references/config-layouts.md) - Layout direction and spacing
- [Configuration](references/config-configuration.md) - Global settings
- [Math](references/config-math.md) - LaTeX math support
## Preferred Style (Flowcharts)
### Arrow weight by meaning
| Arrow | Use |
|-------|-----|
| `==>` | Main flow / happy path / player traffic |
| `-->` | API calls, decisions, branch outcomes |
| `-.->` | Async, background, retry loops |
### Color palette
Always include these classDefs in flowcharts:
```
classDef deploy fill:#d5e8d4,stroke:#82b366,color:#000
classDef svc fill:#dae8fc,stroke:#6c8ebf,color:#000
classDef pvc fill:#f5f5f5,stroke:#666,color:#000
classDef external fill:#f5f5f5,stroke:#666,color:#000,stroke-dasharray:5 5
classDef ok fill:#d5e8d4,stroke:#82b366,color:#000
classDef kick fill:#f8cecc,stroke:#b85450,color:#000
```
### Layout rules
- **Natural depth** — each terminal node gets its own exit point; no shared terminals across paths of different lengths. Dagre places nodes at `max(predecessor depths) + 1`.
- **Side API calls** — branch API call nodes off the calling node with `-->` at the same depth as the next decision node so they appear side-by-side, not inline in the `==>` chain.
- **Terminal naming** — prefix `✓` for success, `✗` for failure (e.g. `✗ Kick: account locked`).
- **Section comments** — use `%% ── Section name ──` to separate logical groups (traffic, auth, control plane, etc.).
## Output Specification
Generated Mermaid code should:
1. Be wrapped in ```mermaid code blocks
2. Have correct syntax that renders directly
3. Have clear structure with proper line breaks and indentation
4. Use semantic node naming
5. Apply the preferred style above for flowcharts
## Example Output
```mermaid
flowchart TD
A[Start] --> B{Condition}
B -->|Yes| C(["✓ Done"]):::ok
B -->|No| D(["✗ Failed"]):::kick
classDef ok fill:#d5e8d4,stroke:#82b366,color:#000
classDef kick fill:#f8cecc,stroke:#b85450,color:#000
```
