# pretty-mermaid

Actually renders Mermaid to SVG or ASCII instead of emitting text and hoping something downstream draws it. Bundles the render scripts.

## Install

### Claude Code

```bash
npx skills add https://github.com/imxv/pretty-mermaid-skills --skill pretty-mermaid
```

## Best for

Turning Mermaid source into a finished SVG or a terminal-friendly ASCII diagram, with themes applied and batches handled in one pass.

## Not ideal for

Anything needing a recent upstream. This is community-maintained and its last release predates most of the current agent tooling — useful, but not actively tracking the ecosystem.

## About

Render beautiful Mermaid diagrams as SVG or ASCII art using the beautiful-mermaid library. Supports 15+ themes and 5 diagram types (flowchart, sequence, state, class, ER). Use when asked to render a Mermaid diagram or given .mmd files, to create a flowchart, sequence diagram or state diagram, to apply a theme or beautify a diagram, to batch process multiple diagrams, when an ASCII or terminal-friendly diagram is needed, or to visualize architecture, workflows and data models.
