What the file says

# ASCII Diagram Validator

Validate and fix alignment issues in ASCII box-drawing diagrams commonly used in architecture documentation, README files, and code comments.

> **Self-Evolving Skill**: This skill improves through use. If instructions are wrong, parameters drifted, or a workaround was needed — fix this file immediately, don't defer. Only update for real, reproducible issues.

## Overview

ASCII diagrams using box-drawing characters (─│┌┐└┘├┤┬┴┼ and double-line variants ═║╔╗╚╝╠╣╦╩╬) require precise column alignment. This skill provides:

1. **Validation script** - Detects misaligned characters with file:line:column locations
2. **Actionable fixes** - Specific suggestions for correcting each issue
3. **Multi-file support** - Validate individual files or entire directories

## When to Use This Skill

Invoke when:

- Creating or editing ASCII architecture diagrams in markdown
- Reviewing documentation with box-drawing diagrams
- Fixing "diagram looks wrong" complaints
- Before committing docs/ARCHITECTURE.md or similar files
- When user mentions "ASCII alignment", "diagram alignment", or "box drawing"

## Supported Characters

### Single-Line Box Drawing
