Create ASCII architecture diagrams for ADRs using graph-easy. Use when writing ADRs, adding diagrams to existing ADRs, or when user mentions "ADR diagram", "architecture diagram", "ASCII diagram". Zero external dependencies for rendering - pure text output embeds directly in markdown.

Create comprehensive ASCII architecture diagrams for Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) using graph-easy. Pure text output with automatic layout - no image rendering required.
## When to Use This Skill
- Writing new ADR that involves architectural changes
- ADR describes migration, integration, or system changes
- User asks for visual representation of a decision
- Existing ADR diagram needs review or update
## Preflight Check
Run these checks in order. Each layer depends on the previous.
### Layer 1: Package Manager
```bash
/usr/bin/env bash << 'SETUP_EOF'
# Detect OS and set package manager
case "$(uname -s)" in
Darwin) PM="brew" ;;
Linux) PM="apt" ;;
*) echo "ERROR: Unsupported OS (require macOS or Linux)"; exit 1 ;;
esac
command -v $PM &>/dev/null || { echo "ERROR: $PM not installed"; exit 1; }
echo "✓ Package manager: $PM"
SETUP_EOF
```
### Layer 2: Perl + cpanminus (mise-first approach)
```bash
# Prefer mise for unified tool management
if command -v mise &>/dev/null; then
# Install Perl via mise
mise which perl &>/dev/null || mise install perl
# Install cpanminus under mise perl
mise exec perl -- cpanm --version &>/dev/null 2>&1 || {
echo "Installing cpanminus under mise perl..."
mise exec perl -- curl -L https://cpanmin.us | mise exec perl -- perl - App::cpanminus
}
echo "✓ cpanminus installed (via mise perl)"
else
# Fallback: Install cpanminus via system package manager
command -v cpanm &>/dev/null || {
echo "Installing cpanminus via $PM..."
case "$PM" in
brew) brew install cpanminus ;;
apt) sudo apt install -y cpanminus ;;
esac
}
echo "✓ cpanminus installed"
fi
```
### Layer 3: Graph::Easy Perl module
```bash
# Check if Graph::Easy is installed (mise-first)
if command -v mise &>/dev/null; then
mise exec perl -- perl -MGraph::Easy -e1 2>/dev/null || {
echo "Installing Graph::Easy via mise perl cpanm..."
mise exec perl -- cpanm Graph::Easy
}
