Skill instructions
DOT Syntax Quick Reference Overview Fast lookup for DOT graph description language syntax. Covers the constructs you'll use 90% of the time. Core principle: DOT describes structure (what connects to what). Layout engines handle positioning. You never specify coordinates. Graph Declaration dot digraph name { } // directed graph (use -) graph name { } // undirected graph (use --) strict digraph name { } // no multi-edges allowed Nodes dot mynode // implicit creation mynode [label="Display Name" shape=box] // explicit with attributes mynode [label="Line 1\nLine 2"] // multiline label "node with spaces" // quoted ID for special chars ID rules: [a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9] unquoted. Use quotes for spaces/special chars. Edges dot A - B // directed edge A - B [label="calls"] // labeled edge A - B - C // chain A - {B C D} // fan-out (A connects to B, C, and D) A - B [style=dashed color=red] // styled edge Attributes dot // Defaults (apply to all subsequent nodes/edges) node [shape=box style="rounded,fi
