Graphviz DOT Renderer Skill
Overview
Renders Graphviz DOT graph definitions to images supporting multiple layout algorithms for dependency visualization and large graph rendering.
Capabilities
- Render DOT graphs to PNG, SVG, PDF, PS formats
- Multiple layout algorithms (dot, neato, fdp, sfdp, twopi, circo)
- Large graph support with sfdp algorithm
- Dependency visualization
- Custom node and edge styling
- Subgraph and cluster support
Target Processes
- microservices-decomposition
- ddd-strategic-modeling
- observability-implementation
