Diagram Generator

When to Use

• Turning textual analysis into Mermaid/Graphviz/PlantUML visuals.
• Producing attack-path or architecture diagrams for reports.

Purpose

Create clear, editable diagrams from messy or structured inputs. Prefer text-based diagram source first so the result can be reviewed, versioned, and refined. Render to files only when the user asks for an image/PDF or when a downloadable artifact would materially help.

Default workflow

1. Identify the user's intent, audience, and source material.
2. Choose the diagram family and language using the decision table below.
3. Normalize entities, relationships, labels, states, branches, and time/order information before writing diagram code.
4. Generate concise, readable diagram source.
5. Validate the syntax mentally and, when creating files, run scripts/render_diagram.py.
6. Return the diagram source plus a short note about assumptions. When files are generated, include links to the output files.
