When to use this skill

CRITICAL TRIGGER RULE

  • Use this skill ONLY when the user explicitly mentions the exact skill name: ascii-diagram-boxflow.

Trigger phrases include:

  • "ascii-diagram-boxflow"
  • "use ascii-diagram-boxflow"
  • "用 ascii-diagram-boxflow 画 ASCII 流程图/框图"
  • "使用 ascii-diagram-boxflow 生成 box + 箭头连接图"

Boundary

  • ASCII output only. Do not output Mermaid/PlantUML.
  • Recommended nodes <= 12; if larger, split into sub-diagrams.
  • Auto-layout is best-effort for linear and simple branching. Complex layouts require manual ordering or splitting.

How to use this skill

Inputs

  • nodes (node list; names required)
  • edges (connections: from/to)
  • direction (TB | LR, default TB)
  • width (default 80)
  • boxWidth (default 16)
  • numbering (default false)

Outputs (required)

  • diagram (ASCII-only)
  • layoutRules (box width + arrow/line rules)
  • splitAdvice (how to split complex diagrams)

Script

  • scripts/boxflow.py: best-effort for linear flows and single 2-way branching

Examples

  • examples/login-flow.md

Quality checklist

  1. Arrow direction is unambiguous; avoid crossings
  2. Line width <= width; no trailing spaces
  3. Long node names must be truncated or wrapped consistently

Keywords

English: ascii-diagram-boxflow, ascii diagram, flowchart, box, arrow, plain text, terminal 中文: ascii-diagram-boxflow, ASCII 框图, 流程图, 纯文本, 盒子, 箭头, 终端

常见陷阱 (Gotchas)

  1. 版本兼容性：注意框架版本与依赖库的兼容性，不同版本 API 可能有差异
  2. 配置文件格式：配置文件格式错误是最常见的问题，建议使用编辑器的语法检查
  3. 环境变量：确保所有必要的环境变量已正确设置，敏感信息不要硬编码
  4. 依赖冲突：多版本共存时注意依赖冲突，使用 lock 文件锁定版本
  5. 性能陷阱：大数据量场景下注意性能优化，避免 N+1 查询等常见问题

使用流程

Step 1: 环境准备

确保开发环境已安装必要的依赖和工具。

Step 2: 配置初始化

根据项目需求进行基础配置。

Step 3: 核心功能使用

按照示例代码实现核心功能。

Step 4: 测试验证

运行测试确保功能正常。

Step 5: 部署上线

完成开发后进行部署和监控。
