I connected Claude Code to Mermaid, and it replaced every diagramming app I ever used

A user has found a new way to create diagrams using AI. They have connected Claude Code to Mermaid, which allows them to quickly create and align diagram elements. This has replaced their need for traditional diagramming apps.

The creator of Claude Code, Boris Cherny, has shared tips on how to effectively prompt AI chatbots. He believes that there is no secret to prompting AI and that users should talk to the model as they would to a coworker. Cherny suggests that users provide three basic pieces of information when prompting the model: what they want it to do, how much effort they want it to spend, and how it should verify that it did the right thing.

According to Business Insider, Cherny has also shared one of his own prompts, which is casual and includes a request to "use lots of tokens" and make visuals better than those found in The New Yorker. This approach to prompting AI is a departure from the more formulaic prompts that were previously popular.
