Auto-Layouting ASCII Diagrams

AI Analysis
●●SolidCozyShip It
Mermaid-to-ASCII converter, but Mermaid already exports SVG natively.
Strengths
- •Auto-layout logic handles nested boxes and connections without manual positioning.
- •Supports three input formats (JSON, YAML, Mermaid) plus SVG output in <3KB.
- •CLI-first design pairs well with documentation-as-code workflows.
Weaknesses
- •Mermaid's built-in diagram export already solves this for most teams; unclear when ASCII output matters more.
- •Admits codebase is AI-generated with 'no promises'—limits confidence in edge cases.
