/**
 * Render graphviz diagrams from a skill's SKILL.md to SVG files.
 *
 * Usage:
 *   ./render-graphs.js <skill-directory>           # Render each diagram separately
 *   ./render-graphs.js <skill-directory> --combine # Combine all into one diagram
 *
 * Extracts all ```dot blocks from SKILL.md and renders to SVG.
 * Useful for helping your human partner visualize the process flows.
 *
 * Requires: graphviz (dot) installed on system
