What it does

Help the user understand the current topic visually with concise diagrams, code-shape sketches, and focused HTML artifacts.

Help the user understand the current topic of conversation visually. Skip the preamble and keep prose brief. Pick the smallest view that makes the key point clear.

  • Show logic or an algorithm as pseudocode:
on(save)
  if content is unchanged
    return cached result
  write new content
  return fresh result
  • Show runtime control flow as a call tree:
submitForm
  createSession
    persistPrompt
    launchAgent
  navigateToSession
  • Show UI structure as a component tree, including state and module boundaries that matter:
<SessionPage> (apps/example/src/routes/session.tsx)
  useSessionEvents()
  <SessionToolbar>
    <RunSkillButton> (packages/ui)
  • Show file responsibility or a broad refactor as a shallow file tree:
src/
├── commands/       # parses user actions
├── sessions/       # owns session state
└── transport/      # sends API requests
  • Show component interaction, control flow, or data flow with Mermaid:
sequenceDiagram
    participant User
    participant UI
    participant Daemon
    User->>UI: choose command
    UI->>Daemon: send expanded prompt
    Daemon-->>UI: stream result
  • Use diff when the point is what changes and the surrounding shape already exists. Match the diff shape to the topic.

For a component change:

 <SessionPage>
   useSessionEvents()
   <SessionToolbar>
+    <RunSkillButton />
   <SessionTimeline>
+    <SkillResultCard />

For a file-layout change:

 src/
 ├── commands/
+│   └── show-me.ts       # expands the slash command
 ├── sessions/
-└── transport.ts
+└── transport/
+    ├── client.ts
+    └── stream.ts

For a call-tree or call-stack change:

 submitForm
   createSession
     persistPrompt
+    expandSkillMention
     launchAgent
-  navigateToSession
+  navigateToSession
+    subscribeToEvents

For a state or control-flow change:
