Here's the section, ready to paste into your README. Both diagrams use standard Mermaid, which GitHub renders natively in light and dark mode.
## How the nightly pipeline works
Every night a scheduler triggers an ingest job. The job pulls CSV files from an SFTP server and checks each file's schema. Files that fail go to a quarantine folder, and files that pass are loaded into a staging table. A transform job then builds the reporting tables from staging, and a Slack message is sent at the end of the run.
### Pipeline flow
```mermaid

accTitle: Nightly Pipeline Flow
accDescr: A scheduler triggers ingest from SFTP. Each CSV is validated. Bad files go to quarantine, good files load into staging, then the transform builds reporting tables and Slack is notified.
schedule([⏰ Nightly trigger]) --> ingest[📥 Pull CSVs from SFTP]
ingest --> validate{🔍 Schema valid?}
validate -->|No| quarantine[🗂️ Move to quarantine]
validate -->|Yes| staging[💾 Load into staging table]
staging --> transform[⚙️ Build reporting tables]
transform --> notify([📤 Send Slack message])
quarantine --> notify

### Interaction between components
```mermaid

accTitle: Nightly Pipeline Sequence
accDescr: The scheduler starts the ingest job, which downloads files from SFTP, validates each one, quarantines bad files or loads good ones into the database, runs the transform, and posts a summary to Slack.
participant sched as ⏰ Scheduler
participant ingest as 📥 Ingest job
participant sftp as 🖥️ SFTP server

end
end

```
A few details are my assumptions, so please check them against your setup:
- Who runs what: You didn't say which component runs validation and the transform. I showed the ingest job doing validation and loading, then triggering the transform in the database. If the transform is a separate job, add it as a sixth participant between the database and Slack.
- Failures: The Slack message is sent after both good and bad files, as in the flow diagram. If it should only fire on success, or should list the quarantined files, say so and I'll adjust both diagrams.
- Quarantine location: I didn't say whether the folder is on the SFTP server or local storage. Name it in the intro if readers will need to find it.
I couldn't render the diagrams here, but they follow standard Mermaid syntax. You can paste them into mermaid.live, or preview the README on GitHub, to confirm they display.
Real run in an isolated folder with only this skill installed. Only the Skill and Read tools were enabled, so no command was run and no file was written. The scenario is fictional. The diagrams were not rendered in this run: check them in a Mermaid-aware preview such as GitHub or mermaid.live before publishing.
它做什麼
提供一套可選的**「Markdown 文件 + Mermaid 圖」**寫作風格,讓結構保存在可編輯、便於比對的文字裡,而不是截圖裡。它幫你選對圖的類型(流程圖、循序圖、ER 圖、狀態圖、甘特圖、C4、時間軸、心智圖等),再指向對應類型的指南,裡面有測試過的範例與可直接複製的範本。它會加上 accTitle 與 accDescr 無障礙中繼資料,每個節點最多一個表情符號,並提醒你檢查文件將來顯示的地方用的是哪個版本的 Mermaid。
附帶的參考資料
Markdown 樣式指南、Mermaid 樣式指南、關於目前 Mermaid 算繪與命令列匯出的說明、21 份圖類型指南,以及 6 個文件範本(決策紀錄、操作指南、簡報、專案文件、研究論文、狀態報告)。
適合什麼場景
README、設計文件、方法說明與報告,凡是希望工作流程、資料模型或時間軸保持為可編輯文字的地方。
中風險:它會寫入與編輯 Markdown 檔案,沒有腳本。可選的圖表匯出會用 npm 安裝 Mermaid 命令列工具與 Chromium 瀏覽器,需要連網。不同平台(例如 GitHub)的 Mermaid 版本不一樣,請在發布的地方確認圖能正常算繪;試用中的圖沒有算繪過。它的樣式慣例(二級標題加表情符號、只有一個 H1)是可選的:請先遵循你自己專案的風格。這份副本做過精簡:為了符合大小限制刪去了 40 個檔案中的 6 個,並已在 SKILL.md 裡註明。Clayton Young 與 Superior Byte Works 的 Apache-2.0 作品,K-Dense 以 MIT 授權做了整合;隨附兩份授權檔。
