If no testing instructions cover the app, or you can't test -because you lack credentials, environment, or tooling, **do not keep trying**: -stop, report exactly what instructions, credentials, or help you need, and -return a verdict of fail/blocked with that gap as the evidence. Improvised -test routes are not evidence. -If the dispatch carries app-launch instructions and the app is not already up, -launch it exactly as directed and stop what you started; a missing or failed -launch is blocked, never grounds to improvise a command. - -## Method - -1. Read your dispatch: verify mode gets criteria (`AC1…`, each with a mapped - method and command/flow) and usually a rubric — work through the rubric's - items too and capture the evidence each names; QA mode gets the PR's - Manual tests checklist (each item is a flow to drive); reproduce mode gets - a report of expected vs actual and whatever repro hints exist. (Reproduce - is your only pre-PR mode — in a /do run you appear exactly once, - post-PR.) -2. Start every flow from a known state. Execute each mapped method (verify) or - probe the failure path, narrowing to the shortest deterministic repro - (reproduce). -3. Capture evidence as you go: quoted command output, log excerpts, console - errors, observed UI state. Quoted text/log evidence is the proof, and - **every UI state you verify is also screenshotted**: save each capture to - the scratchpad with a stable name (`--.png`) - and enumerate it in your report's Captures section — path, one-line - description, the criterion or checklist item it evidences. When a journey - runs through a scriptable driver, also record it as a video (driver-level - recording, one mp4 per journey, encoded for review — see - `.references/qa-verification.md` § Journey videos) and enumerate each in - the same Captures section: path, journey, duration, what it evidences. - A capture that exists only as prose ("screenshot shows…") is lost the - moment you exit; the Overseer can only host and embed what your report - enumerates. -4. If something can't be exercised (missing env, service down), say so — never - guess a result. - -## Playwright evidence finalization - -The daemon supplies `ORCHESTRA_BROWSER_EVIDENCE_DIR` for the current attempt. -All filenames passed to Playwright must resolve beneath that exact directory. -Start tracing and video before the first journey action. After the last action, -save console and network output, stop tracing, stop video, and use -`browser_evaluate` to prove the returned video is loadable and has positive -duration. Close the browser only after those stop calls finish. - -Write `evidence-manifest.json` last in the current evidence directory. It must -contain `status: "completed"`, the current `ORCHESTRA_BROWSER_RUN_ID` and -`ORCHESTRA_BROWSER_ATTEMPT_ID`, and an `artifacts` array enumerating absolute -paths and kinds for every screenshot, trace file, console log, network log, -snapshot, media-validation result, and journey video. Never copy an older -attempt into the manifest or report a pass from partial/unfinalized evidence. - -## Analytics and identity acceptance - -When the change under verification touches instrumentation, signup, login, or -session handling, event checks go beyond "the request fired": - -- Verify events in the analytics warehouse (via its connected MCP/tool), not - the browser's network tab; allow ~60s ingestion lag before treating an - empty result as absence. -- Verify person/identity stitching by grouping on the warehouse's person id — - never on event-time person properties, which can make N wrongly-merged - users each look like one clean person. On a mismatch, inspect the raw - distinct/device id per event: it names the identity that captured the event - and usually the merge vector. -- Only when the change touches identity stitching itself (aliasing, identify - calls, distinct-id handling, session-identity plumbing) — not for routine - auth-adjacent UI work — drive one **multi-user same-browser pass**: - consecutive signups or login switches in a single browser profile, then - assert each user resolved to a separate person and that session-scoped - connections (e.g. websocket auth) followed the switch. Shared-machine - merges are invisible to single-user passes, but this pass is expensive; - reserve it for changes where that failure mode is actually in play. -- Events fired immediately before a hard navigation (payment redirects, - external scheduling links) must be confirmed ingested — SDK batching drops - them on unload unless they use a beacon-style transport. -- Before re-verifying a just-fixed behavior, confirm the served bundle - actually contains the fix (grep the bundle for a distinctive marker or - compare its hash) — dev-server rebuild races mimic "fix didn't work", and a - re-verification that still fails after a real fix usually means stacked - causes: falsify one vector at a time from raw event data. - -## Output format - -Before writing your report, Read -`.references/agents/frontend-verifier/verification-result.md` and return your -result in exactly the format for your mode (verify — also used by QA, one -row per checklist item — or reproduce). - -Even if the reference file is unavailable: verdict first (verify: -`pass | fail`; reproduce: `reproduced | could not reproduce`); a Pass without -quoted evidence is not a Pass. +Read `.references/agents/frontend-verifier/instructions.md` completely and +follow it.

Save the combined findings as `./tmp/<id>/refs/research-dossier.md` — -the researchers report in-conversation; you persist the dossier. -Reconcile it into the plan: import the highest-value anchors and gotchas, -re-check the repo wherever the dossier and your draft disagree — and -wherever the *item* and the repo disagree, name the conflict in the plan's -Known mismatches with how the plan resolves it — and record what you -imported or dropped in the plan's Reconciliation notes. - -Research beyond that as the item actually needs — you judge. A change -touching an environment listed in `.references/known-issues/` (e.g. -Windows-runner CI) reads the matching page at plan time and carries it -into the implementer dispatch. If the item -links external documents beyond what Step 0 pulled and they're reachable, -fetch them rather than planning around the gap. Then write -`./tmp/<id>/plan.md` following this skill's `references/implementation-plan.md` — -its evidence contract is binding: facts live in Verified repo truths with -`path:line` evidence from files opened this session, and proposals stay out -of fact sections.

When genuinely uncertain about a requirement or design -detail, never decide by silent assumption — name it in the plan's Open -questions and proceed on the least-committal reading. Restate the item's -`AC#` criteria verbatim, each under Verification's Automated or Manual -subsection. Before dispatching reviewers, run one **fresh-eyes pass** over -the finished plan yourself — reread it as a stranger hunting blunders, -mistakes, oversights, omissions, and misconceptions, and fix what you find. -Then run the review -loop — this run's effective review lanes per the dials above (zone 0: -Codex + Claude in parallel; zones 1–3: Codex alone; `review_lanes:` override -honored in either direction, including on an epic) — findings -fixed into the plan — until you're satisfied. A dual-lane pass dispatches -both lanes in a single message — the Claude reviewer via the Agent tool, -the Codex reviewer as a detached dispatch per the codex skill — then awaits -the Agent-tool sub-agent within the turn and picks up the Codex report from its -marker; running one lane to completion before -starting the other serializes the pass and doubles its wall-clock. -When the reviewers disagree, adjudicate it yourself. Use sub-agents to help -you understand what is true when needed. -The loop continues until -the plan is ready — same exit rule as the post-PR loop: a pass returning -zero Must Fix from every lane (Codex tiers: P0/P1 count as Must Fix) ends -it, Should Fixes folded in at your discretion with no re-review, one extra -pass only when the lanes sharply diverge. Cap 3 passes (zones 2–3: 1), a -ceiling never a quota; carry anything unresolved -at the cap into the plan's open questions. Score the plan's `confidence:` -(1–10, one-pass implementation confidence) as each pass exits — while -budget remains within the caps, a low score is the signal to spend it on -more research and deepening the plan; a materially revised plan earns a -fresh review pass (it's a new artifact), an unchanged one never does. The -score recorded after the last pass is final. -Never a reason to stop the run. - -A plan that pins a dependency the repo's install gates will refuse without -human approval (a release-age allowlist, a license gate) surfaces that -approval request in a notify at plan-exit — never as a blocking gate the -implement wave discovers. - -At this plan-complete milestone, when an artifact host is configured, -re-upload the bundle (now including `plan.md`) using the artifact-host step in -`.references/publish-work-item.md`. - -## Step 2: Implement - -Every implementation dispatch goes to the `codex` skill, role `implementer` -(later fix rounds resume the same Codex session). **A mixed -frontend+backend change is one dispatch** — the implementer owns the whole -vertical slice, so lint/typecheck/build run against the complete change; -splitting by surface manufactures intermediate states where neither half -passes static checks. Split only by genuinely independent chunks, and -every dispatch must leave the repo statically green on its own — never -split so one dispatch's checks depend on a later dispatch landing. Give each the plan and the item (intent = -source of truth for *why*). Resolve blockers yourself from the item/refs; -apply the Autonomy & safety tiers — a red-tier action gets captured, noted, -and notified, and the run continues; only a red gate that blocks everything -stops it. - -**Bulk fan-outs** (many similar sub-agent dispatches — translations, -codemods, per-file transforms): - -- Give every dispatch a machine-verifiable completion contract and audit - the whole batch with a script after each wave — a dispatch's exit status - or "DONE" claim is never evidence. Expect a silent-failure tail on large - inputs; plan one repair wave. -- Each dispatch commits its own output the moment it succeeds. Bulk results - never accumulate uncommitted — one later writer can wipe hours of work, - and per-unit commits keep every unit individually reversible. -- A quota-blocked wave gets a resumable retry keyed to the stated reset - time; fill the gap with quota-independent work. Quota is a budget, not a - throughput limit — run the largest fan-outs right after a reset; more - concurrency does not buy more output per window. - -## Step 3: Verify - -Prove every command-shaped verification criterion — the `codex` skill role -`backend-verifier` for tests/scripts. **UI acceptance criteria are NOT -driven here**: the app-driving proof happens exactly once per run, in -Step 5's post-PR QA drive — one agent, one responsibility, no duplicated -flows. At this stage a UI criterion gets its non-driving checks only -(build, typecheck, unit/component tests) and is marked `deferred to QA -drive` in the plan's verification record. Verification that must spawn -an AI session or feed repo context to an AI CLI routes to a **Claude** -verifier dispatch, never Codex. Any ad-hoc Claude verifier dispatched outside -the named agents (e.g. `general-purpose` for a live-app script check) passes -an explicit `model` (default `opus`) — never inherit the session model -silently — and its prompt carries the leaf-agent line (you are a sub-agent; -never spawn agents or invoke agent CLIs — `claude`, `codex exec`, or any -equivalent): the named agents get it from their charters, but an uncharted -type only knows what your dispatch tells it. The plan's Automated subsection is the -implementer's own self-check loop; verifiers still prove every `AC#` -independently. Include the change type's rubric from -`.references/rubrics/` in each verifier dispatch (see -`.references/verification-methods.md`); its blocker items gate alongside -the ACs. Quoted evidence on every pass; nothing is assumed. Feed failures -back to the matching implementer and re-verify until the criteria pass. -**Apply any green-tier staging prerequisite the ACs depend on** — an -additive/nullable staging schema change, a test-mode toggle — **before** -dispatching the verifiers, so evidence is gathered against the real schema; -never verify against a schema the change adds but hasn't applied (the Step 4 -deploy scan is only the backstop for one slipping through). - -Testing any app — web, mobile, or backend — must follow the project's -testing instructions (the app folder's `AGENTS.md`/testing docs). If a -verifier reports it has no testing instructions for the app, or can't test -for lack of credentials, environment, or tooling, don't retry or improvise a -workaround — stop the verify loop and ask the user for the missing -instructions or access. When verification needs the running app, apply Step -0's `AGENTS.md`-sourced launch rule and stop what the pipeline started. A -service the verification needs alive runs detached (nohup + pidfile under -`./tmp/<id>/`) so its lifetime is owned by the run rather than a tool -timeout — a reaped server poisons the next boot with orphans. Tear down -the recorded pids explicitly, and when freeing ports kill only pids -enumerated before the next launch. - -**Done when**: every `AC#` and every rubric blocker has quoted passing -evidence. - -## Step 4: PR - -The PR is an artifact, not the finish line — open it once the work -verifies, then improve it in place (Step 5). All commit/PR prep lives here: - -- **Build gate first**: discover the project's own build/typecheck/lint - workflow (`package.json` scripts, Makefile, CI config — ask the repo, - don't assume) and run it. Failures are must-fix before the PR opens. -- **Deploy notes scan**: scan the run's diff for schema/migrations, env - vars/secrets, infra/CI, new third-party dependencies, and one-time - scripts/backfills, then **split each finding by tier and act on it** - (Autonomy & safety). A finding's **green-tier half** — an additive/nullable, - reversible change on a non-production environment you can reach (e.g. the - staging DB) — **must be applied before the verification that depends on it**: - a staging column the tests read is a Step 3 prerequisite applied at - implement/verify time, not a Step 4 discovery. This scan is the **backstop** — - if it is the first to catch an unapplied green change, apply it **and re-run - the affected verification**, since Step 3 finished before this scan and any - evidence gathered against the missing schema is void. Its **red-tier half** — - production, irreversible, or secrets — you **capture as a deploy note and - never apply**. Never collapse the two into one deferred line: a change with a - green staging half and a red production half is *applied on staging* **and** - *noted for production* — the failure mode is doing neither and reporting a - single "not applied anywhere" note. Flag any finding that **blocks - verification/QA** — a *staging/test* resource the run gathers evidence against - (a staging column the tests read, a test-mode key the QA pass needs) — as a - **prerequisite**, distinct from deploy-time actions. A **production** change - is never a verification prerequisite: verification runs against non-prod, so - an unapplied prod migration is a deploy action, not a blocker. -- Commit selectively (only this run's files, never `git add -A`; secret-scan - the staged diff), message style `type: short imperative summary`. Rebase - onto the origin default branch; push (`--force-with-lease` on rewrites). -- Open the PR: typed title; write the body following this skill's - `references/pr-body.md` — its section spine (Summary/What-Why-How, Visual - overview, User journeys, Verification, Manual tests, QA results, Deploy - notes, Residual risks), its body-state / comment-proof split, and its - pre-open checklist are binding. The **Visual overview** is required — its - only omission is the recorded `Visual overview: none — <reason>` line: - user-visible changes lead with the before-state and the diagram at open — - **after-shots land with the QA drive's first body update, minutes after - open** (the pre-open Visual overview says so explicitly: - `After-shots: landing with the QA drive`); anything already captured hosts - on the rolling assets prerelease per Step 5's evidence rule, filenames - keyed to the work item id; - flow-/boundary-/lifecycle-shaped changes lead with the before → after - diagram per the `excalidraw-pr-diagrams` skill — and for a change with - **no user-visible surface**, the diagram lands with the QA drive's first - body update instead of blocking PR open: open with - `Visual overview: diagram landing with the first body update`, author the - diagram while the post-PR lanes run, and embed it before the QA results - close; the - **User journeys** section carries both a journey map and — for branching - flows — a fork map cross-tagged into the Manual tests; the deploy-notes - scan above feeds the **Deploy notes** section.

The turn in which a reviewer -or verifier report arrives publishes its results (body edit, evidence -comment) before ending. - -- Run the review lanes over the PR diff (zone 0: both reviewers, - dispatched together in one message — Agent tool + detached `codex exec` - — never serially; zones 1–3: Codex alone; the item's explicit - `review_lanes:` outranks the zone default in either direction, including - when set on the epic itself) - (correctness + security, `(security)` tags). A Codex report may arrive - tiered P0–P3 (its built-in review format) instead of the prescribed - Must/Should format — map it, never re-dispatch over format: P0/P1 ≡ - Must Fix, P2 ≡ Should Fix, P3 ≡ Nice to Have.

Look up the actual JSON/data formats -2. Find the real event names, method names, or API endpoints -3. Understand how the pieces actually connect -4.

Include them in technical diagrams. - -**Types of evidence artifacts** (choose what's relevant to your diagram): - -| Artifact Type | When to Use | How to Render | -|---------------|-------------|---------------| -| **Code snippets** | APIs, integrations, implementation details | Dark rectangle + syntax-colored text (see color palette for evidence artifact colors) | -| **Data/JSON examples** | Data formats, schemas, payloads | Dark rectangle + colored text (see color palette) | -| **Event/step sequences** | Protocols, workflows, lifecycles | Timeline pattern (line + dots + labels) | -| **UI mockups** | Showing actual output/results | Nested rectangles mimicking real UI | -| **Real input content** | Showing what goes IN to a system | Rectangle with sample content visible | -| **API/method names** | Real function calls, endpoints | Use actual names from docs, not placeholders | - -**Example**: For a diagram about a streaming protocol, you might show: -- The actual event names from the spec (not just "Event 1", "Event 2") -- A code snippet showing how to connect -- What the streamed data actually looks like - -**Example**: For a diagram about a data transformation pipeline: -- Show sample input data (actual format, not "Input") -- Show sample output data (actual format, not "Output") -- Show intermediate states if relevant - -The key principle: **show what things actually look like**, not just what they're called. - ---- - -## Multi-Zoom Architecture - -Comprehensive diagrams operate at multiple zoom levels simultaneously. Think of it like a map that shows both the country borders AND the street names. - -### Level 1: Summary Flow -A simplified overview showing the full pipeline or process at a glance. Often placed at the top or bottom of the diagram. - -*Example*: `Input → Processing → Output` or `Client → Server → Database` - -### Level 2: Section Boundaries -Labeled regions that group related components. These create visual "rooms" that help viewers understand what belongs together. - -*Example*: Grouping by responsibility (Backend / Frontend), by phase (Setup / Execution / Cleanup), or by team (User / System / External) - -### Level 3: Detail Inside Sections -Evidence artifacts, code snippets, and concrete examples within each section. This is where the educational value lives. - -*Example*: Inside a "Backend" section, you might show the actual API response format, not just a box labeled "API Response" - -**For comprehensive diagrams, aim to include all three levels.** The summary gives context, the sections organize, and the details teach. - -### Bad vs Good - -| Bad (Displaying) | Good (Arguing) | -|------------------|----------------| -| 5 equal boxes with labels | Each concept has a shape that mirrors its behavior | -| Card grid layout | Visual structure matches conceptual structure | -| Icons decorating text | Shapes that ARE the meaning | -| Same container for everything | Distinct visual vocabulary per concept | -| Everything in a box | Free-floating text with selective containers | -| Red card titled "Before" beside green card titled "After" | A before failure path and an after success path with different routing | -| Repeating the same template across unrelated PRs | Choosing a visual metaphor per PR: boundary, lifecycle, race, permission gate, retry loop | -| Paragraphs pasted into shapes | Short labels plus visual evidence, arrows, gates, and concrete artifacts | - -### Hard Anti-Patterns - -Never ship these unless the user explicitly asks for a deliberately minimal sketch: - -- Two large cards that simply summarize "Before" and "After". -- A diagram whose boxes could be replaced by bullets with no loss of meaning. -- Red/green color as the only source of meaning. -- Multiple PR diagrams with the same layout when the PRs solve different problems. -- Oversized headings that force the rest of the diagram to sprawl. -- Long prose inside Excalidraw text boxes. -- Rendered output where any text, title, arrow, or shape is clipped. -- Rendered output where key content requires horizontal scrolling to understand. - -### Simple vs Comprehensive (Know Which You Need) - -| Simple Diagram | Comprehensive Diagram | -|----------------|----------------------| -| Generic labels: "Input" → "Process" → "Output" | Specific: shows what the input/output actually looks like | -| Named boxes: "API", "Database", "Client" | Named boxes + examples of actual requests/responses | -| "Events" or "Messages" label | Timeline with real event/message names from the spec | -| "UI" or "Dashboard" rectangle | Mockup showing actual UI elements and content | -| ~30 seconds to explain | ~2-3 minutes of teaching content | -| Viewer learns the structure | Viewer learns the structure AND the details | - -**Simple diagrams** are fine for abstract concepts, quick overviews, or when the audience already knows the details. **Comprehensive diagrams** are needed for technical architectures, tutorials, educational content, or when you want the diagram itself to teach. - ---- - -## Container vs. Free-Floating Text - -**Not every piece of text needs a shape around it.** Default to free-floating text. Add containers only when they serve a purpose. - -| Use a Container When... | Use Free-Floating Text When... | -|------------------------|-------------------------------| -| It's the focal point of a section | It's a label or description | -| It needs visual grouping with other elements | It's supporting detail or metadata | -| Arrows need to connect to it | It describes something nearby | -| The shape itself carries meaning (decision diamond, etc.) | Typography alone creates sufficient hierarchy | -| It represents a distinct "thing" in the system | It's a section title, subtitle, or annotation | - -**Typography as hierarchy**: Use font size, weight, and color to create visual hierarchy without boxes. A 28px title doesn't need a rectangle around it. - -**The container test**: For each boxed element, ask "Would this work as free-floating text?" If yes, remove the container. - -## Canvas, Text, and Fit Rules - -Excalidraw text does not wrap exactly like normal HTML. Design for the renderer, not for wishful JSON dimensions. - -### Canvas - -- Start with a larger canvas than you think you need. For PR diagrams, plan around roughly **1600-2200 px wide** and **900-1400 px tall** before export. -- Use the larger canvas for meaningful spatial structure, not for giant titles or long paragraphs. -- Prefer two or three clear regions over many cramped micro-panels. -- Leave at least **80 px** outer margin and **50 px** between major regions. - -### Text - -- Keep titles short: ideally under 55 characters. -- Use smaller title type than instinct suggests: **24-30 px** is usually enough. -- Use labels at **14-18 px** and truth statements at **16-20 px**. -- Keep shape labels to **1-4 short lines**. If a label needs more, split it into multiple nearby annotations or make the diagram itself carry more meaning. -- Manually insert line breaks. Do not rely on Excalidraw/renderer wrapping. -- Make text boxes wider than the text appears to need. Add at least **30-50% extra width** as a safety margin. -- For every text element, set `width` and `height` generously. Clipping is a hard failure. - -### Render Fit - -After rendering, inspect at the exact PNG that will be shown in the PR: - -- If anything is clipped, increase canvas space or shrink/reposition text. -- If the diagram is mostly text, remove prose and add visual structure. -- If the title dominates the image, shrink it. -- If labels overlap arrows or shapes, move labels out of the flow path. -- If the image is too wide to understand in GitHub, reduce prose and stack regions vertically. - ---- - -## Design Process (Do This BEFORE Generating JSON) - -### Step 0: Assess Depth Required -Before anything else, determine if this needs to be: -- **Simple/Conceptual**: Abstract shapes, labels, relationships (mental models, philosophies) -- **Comprehensive/Technical**: Concrete examples, code snippets, real data (systems, architectures, tutorials) - -**If comprehensive**: Do research first. Look up actual specs, formats, event names, APIs. - -### Step 1: Understand Deeply -Read the content. For each concept, ask: -- What does this concept **DO**? (not what IS it) -- What relationships exist between concepts? -- What's the core transformation or flow? -- **What would someone need to SEE to understand this?** (not just read about) - -### Step 2: Map Concepts to Patterns -For each concept, find the visual pattern that mirrors its behavior: - -| If the concept... | Use this pattern | -|-------------------|------------------| -| Spawns multiple outputs | **Fan-out** (radial arrows from center) | -| Combines inputs into one | **Convergence** (funnel, arrows merging) | -| Has hierarchy/nesting | **Tree** (lines + free-floating text) | -| Is a sequence of steps | **Timeline** (line + dots + free-floating labels) | -| Loops or improves continuously | **Spiral/Cycle** (arrow returning to start) | -| Is an abstract state or context | **Cloud** (overlapping ellipses) | -| Transforms input to output | **Assembly line** (before → process → after) | -| Compares two things | **Side-by-side** (parallel with contrast) | -| Separates into phases | **Gap/Break** (visual separation between sections) | - -### Step 3: Ensure Variety -For multi-concept diagrams: **each major concept must use a different visual pattern**. No uniform cards or grids. - -### Step 4: Sketch the Flow -Before JSON, mentally trace how the eye moves through the diagram. There should be a clear visual story. - -### Step 5: Generate JSON -Only now create the Excalidraw elements. **See below for how to handle large diagrams.** - -### Step 6: Render & Validate (MANDATORY) -After generating the JSON, you MUST run the render-view-fix loop until the diagram looks right. This is not optional — see the **Render & Validate** section below for the full process. - ---- - -## Large / Comprehensive Diagram Strategy - -**For comprehensive or technical diagrams, you MUST build the JSON one section at a time.** Do NOT attempt to generate the entire file in a single pass. This is a hard constraint — Claude Code has a ~32,000 token output limit per response, and a comprehensive diagram easily exceeds that in one shot. - -### The Section-by-Section Workflow - -**Phase 1: Build each section** - -1. **Create the base file** with the JSON wrapper (`type`, `version`, `appState`, `files`) and the first section of elements. -2. **Add one section per edit.** Each section gets its own dedicated pass — take your time with it. Think carefully about the layout, spacing, and how this section connects to what's already there. -3. **Use descriptive string IDs** (e.g., `"trigger_rect"`, `"arrow_fan_left"`) so cross-section references are readable. -4. **Namespace seeds by section** (e.g., section 1 uses 100xxx, section 2 uses 200xxx) to avoid collisions. -5. **Update cross-section bindings** as you go. When a new section's element needs to bind to an element from a previous section (e.g., an arrow connecting sections), edit the earlier element's `boundElements` array at the same time. - -**Phase 2: Review the whole** - -After all sections are in place, read through the complete JSON and check: -- Are cross-section arrows bound correctly on both ends? -- Is the overall spacing balanced, or are some sections cramped while others have too much whitespace? -- Do IDs and bindings all reference elements that actually exist? - -Fix any alignment or binding issues before rendering. - -**Phase 3: Render & validate** - -Now run the render-view-fix loop from the Render & Validate section. This is where you'll catch visual issues that aren't obvious from JSON — overlaps, clipping, imbalanced composition. - -### Section Boundaries - -Plan your sections around natural visual groupings from the diagram plan. A typical large diagram might split into: - -- **Section 1**: Entry point / trigger -- **Section 2**: First decision or routing -- **Section 3**: Main content (hero section — may be the largest single section) -- **Section 4-N**: Remaining phases, outputs, etc. - -Each section should be independently understandable: its elements, internal arrows, and any cross-references to adjacent sections. - -### What NOT to Do - -- **Don't generate the entire diagram in one response.** You will hit the output token limit and produce truncated, broken JSON. -- **Don't use a coding agent** to generate the JSON — it won't have this skill's rules in context. -- **Don't write a Python generator script** — hand-craft the JSON with descriptive IDs. - ---- - -## Visual Pattern Library - -### Fan-Out (One-to-Many) -Central element with arrows radiating to multiple targets.

Use for: before/after, options, trade-offs. - -### Gap/Break (Separation) -Visual whitespace or barrier between sections. Use for: phase changes, context resets, boundaries. - -### Lines as Structure -Use lines (type: `line`, not arrows) as primary structural elements instead of boxes: -- **Timelines**: Vertical or horizontal line with small dots (10-20px ellipses) at intervals, free-floating labels beside each dot -- **Tree structures**: Vertical trunk line + horizontal branch lines, with free-floating text labels (no boxes needed) -- **Dividers**: Thin dashed lines to separate sections -- **Flow spines**: A central line that elements relate to, rather than connecting boxes - -``` -Timeline: Tree: - ●─── Label 1 │ - │ ├── item - ●─── Label 2 │ ├── sub - │ │ └── sub - ●─── Label 3 └── item -``` - -Lines + free-floating text often creates a cleaner result than boxes + contained text. - ---- - -## Shape Meaning - -Choose shape based on what it represents—or use no shape at all: - -| Concept Type | Shape | Why | -|--------------|-------|-----| -| Labels, descriptions, details | **none** (free-floating text) | Typography creates hierarchy | -| Section titles, annotations | **none** (free-floating text) | Font size/weight is enough | -| Markers on a timeline | small `ellipse` (10-20px) | Visual anchor, not container | -| Start, trigger, input | `ellipse` | Soft, origin-like | -| End, output, result | `ellipse` | Completion, destination | -| Decision, condition | `diamond` | Classic decision symbol | -| Process, action, step | `rectangle` | Contained action | -| Abstract state, context | overlapping `ellipse` | Fuzzy, cloud-like | -| Hierarchy node | lines + text (no boxes) | Structure through lines | - -**Rule**: Default to no container. Add shapes only when they carry meaning. Aim for <30% of text elements to be inside containers. - ---- - -## Color as Meaning - -Colors encode information, not decoration. Every color choice should come from `references/color-palette.md` — the semantic shape colors, text hierarchy colors, and evidence artifact colors are all defined there. - -**Key principles:** -- Each semantic purpose (start, end, decision, AI, error, etc.) has a specific fill/stroke pair -- Free-floating text uses color for hierarchy (titles, subtitles, details — each at a different level) -- Evidence artifacts (code snippets, JSON examples) use their own dark background + colored text scheme -- Always pair a darker stroke with a lighter fill for contrast - -**Do not invent new colors.** If a concept doesn't fit an existing semantic category, use Primary/Neutral or Secondary. - ---- - -## Modern Aesthetics - -For clean, professional diagrams: - -### Roughness -- `roughness: 0` — Clean, crisp edges. Use for modern/technical diagrams. -- `roughness: 1` — Hand-drawn, organic feel. Use for brainstorming/informal diagrams. - -**Default to 0** for most professional use cases. - -### Stroke Width -- `strokeWidth: 1` — Thin, elegant. Good for lines, dividers, subtle connections. -- `strokeWidth: 2` — Standard. Good for shapes and primary arrows. -- `strokeWidth: 3` — Bold. Use sparingly for emphasis (main flow line, key connections). - -### Opacity -**Always use `opacity: 100` for all elements.** Use color, size, and stroke width to create hierarchy instead of transparency. - -### Small Markers Instead of Shapes -Instead of full shapes, use small dots (10-20px ellipses) as: -- Timeline markers -- Bullet points -- Connection nodes -- Visual anchors for free-floating text - ---- - -## Layout Principles - -### Hierarchy Through Scale -- **Hero**: 300×150 - visual anchor, most important -- **Primary**: 180×90 -- **Secondary**: 120×60 -- **Small**: 60×40 - -### Whitespace = Importance -The most important element has the most empty space around it (200px+). - -### Flow Direction -Guide the eye: typically left→right or top→bottom for sequences, radial for hub-and-spoke. - -### Connections Required -Position alone doesn't show relationships. If A relates to B, there must be an arrow. - ---- - -## Text Rules - -**CRITICAL**: The JSON `text` property contains ONLY readable words. - -```json -{ - "id": "myElement1", - "text": "Start", - "originalText": "Start" -} -``` - -Settings: `fontSize: 16`, `fontFamily: 3`, `textAlign: "center"`, `verticalAlign: "middle"` - ---- - -## JSON Structure - -```json -{ - "type": "excalidraw", - "version": 2, - "source": "https://excalidraw.com", - "elements": [...], - "appState": { - "viewBackgroundColor": "#ffffff", - "gridSize": 20 - }, - "files": {} -} -``` - -## Element Templates - -See `references/element-templates.md` for copy-paste JSON templates for each element type (text, line, dot, rectangle, arrow). Pull colors from `references/color-palette.md` based on each element's semantic purpose. - ---- - -## Render & Validate (MANDATORY) - -You cannot judge a diagram from JSON alone. After generating or editing the Excalidraw JSON, you MUST render it to PNG, view the image, and fix what you see — in a loop until it's right. This is a core part of the workflow, not a final check. - -### How to Render - -```bash -cd .claude/skills/excalidraw-pr-diagrams/references && uv run python render_excalidraw.py <path-to-file.excalidraw> -``` - -For Codex installs, use the matching `.codex/skills/excalidraw-pr-diagrams/references` directory. - -This outputs a PNG next to the `.excalidraw` file. Then use the available image viewer on the PNG to actually inspect it, such as the Read tool, `view_image`, or a browser screenshot. - -### The Loop - -After generating the initial JSON, run this cycle: - -**1. Render & View** — Run the render script, then Read the PNG. - -**2. Audit against your original vision** — Before looking for bugs, compare the rendered result to what you designed in Steps 1-4. Ask: -- Does the visual structure match the conceptual structure you planned? -- Does each section use the pattern you intended (fan-out, convergence, timeline, etc.)? -- Does the eye flow through the diagram in the order you designed? -- Is the visual hierarchy correct — hero elements dominant, supporting elements smaller? -- For technical diagrams: are the evidence artifacts (code snippets, data examples) readable and properly placed? -- For PR diagrams: does the rendered image tell a non-redundant before/after story through structure, not just labels? -- Would the image still communicate the main change if the prose paragraphs were removed? - -**3. Check for visual defects:** -- Text clipped by or overflowing its container -- Text or shapes overlapping other elements -- Arrows crossing through elements instead of routing around them -- Arrows landing on the wrong element or pointing into empty space -- Arrowheads, dashed loops, or feedback paths visually sitting on top of boxes or labels -- Labels floating ambiguously (not clearly anchored to what they describe) -- Uneven spacing between elements that should be evenly spaced -- Sections with too much whitespace next to sections that are too cramped -- Text too small to read at the rendered size -- Overall composition feels lopsided or unbalanced -- Any part of the title, subtitle, truth statement, or major region clipped by the screenshot bounds -- A horizontally sprawling image whose important content is hard to scan in a GitHub PR -- PR-specific defects: the committed image URL 404s, the PR body image does not render, or Markdown formatting collapses into a single paragraph. - -**4. Fix** — Edit the JSON to address everything you found. Common fixes: -- Widen containers when text is clipped -- Adjust `x`/`y` coordinates to fix spacing and alignment -- Add intermediate waypoints to arrow `points` arrays to route around elements -- Reposition labels closer to the element they describe -- Resize elements to rebalance visual weight across sections -- Shrink titles and labels before enlarging the diagram further. -- Replace long labels with a diagrammatic construct: boundary, queue, gate, loop, timeline, or swimlane. - -**5. Re-render & re-view** — Run the render script again and Read the new PNG. - -**6. Repeat** — Keep cycling until the diagram passes both the vision check (Step 2) and the defect check (Step 3). Typically takes 2-4 iterations. Don't stop after one pass just because there are no critical bugs — if the composition could be better, improve it. - -### When to Stop - -The loop is done when: -- The rendered diagram matches the conceptual design from your planning steps -- No text is clipped, overlapping, or unreadable -- Arrows route cleanly and connect to the right elements -- Spacing is consistent and the composition is balanced -- You'd be comfortable showing it to someone without caveats -- For PR diagrams, the before and after are visually different in a way that reflects the actual code change. -- The diagram would not be equally useful as a plain bullet list. - -### First-Time Setup -If the render script hasn't been set up yet: -```bash -cd .claude/skills/excalidraw-pr-diagrams/references -uv sync -uv run playwright install chromium -``` - -For Codex installs, use `.codex/skills/excalidraw-pr-diagrams/references`. - ---- - -## Quality Checklist - -### Depth & Evidence (Check First for Technical Diagrams) -1. **Research done**: Did you look up actual specs, formats, event names? -2. **Evidence artifacts**: Are there code snippets, JSON examples, or real data? -3. **Multi-zoom**: Does it have summary flow + section boundaries + detail? -4. **Concrete over abstract**: Real content shown, not just labeled boxes? -5. **Educational value**: Could someone learn something concrete from this? - -### Conceptual -6. **Isomorphism**: Does each visual structure mirror its concept's behavior? -7. **Argument**: Does the diagram SHOW something text alone couldn't? -8. **Variety**: Does each major concept use a different visual pattern? -9. **No uniform containers**: Avoided card grids and equal boxes? -10. **Non-redundant**: The image is not just the PR description repeated in boxes. -11. **Before/after story**: The old failure path and new success path are visibly different. -12. **Metaphor fit**: The chosen metaphor matches the change type (boundary, lifecycle, race, permission, ownership, etc.). - -### Container Discipline -13. **Minimal containers**: Could any boxed element work as free-floating text instead? -14. **Lines as structure**: Are tree/timeline patterns using lines + text rather than boxes? -15. **Typography hierarchy**: Are font size and color creating visual hierarchy (reducing need for boxes)? - -### Structural -16. **Connections**: Every relationship has an arrow or line -17. **Flow**: Clear visual path for the eye to follow -18. **Hierarchy**: Important elements are larger/more isolated - -### Technical -19. **Text clean**: `text` contains only readable words -20. **Font**: `fontFamily: 3` -21. **Roughness**: `roughness: 0` for clean/modern (unless hand-drawn style requested) -22. **Opacity**: `opacity: 100` for all elements (no transparency) -23. **Container ratio**: <30% of text elements should be inside containers - -### Visual Validation (Render Required) -24. **Rendered to PNG**: Diagram has been rendered and visually inspected -25. **No text overflow**: All text fits within its container -26. **No clipping**: Screenshot bounds include every title, label, arrow, and shape -27. **No overlapping elements**: Shapes and text don't overlap unintentionally -28. **Even spacing**: Similar elements have consistent spacing -29. **Arrows land correctly**: Arrows connect to intended elements without crossing others -30. **Readable at export size**: Text is legible in the rendered PNG -31. **Balanced composition**: No large empty voids or overcrowded regions -32. **GitHub readable**: The image is understandable when embedded in a PR without opening it full-size +Build large diagrams incrementally to stay within the current Claude turn, +render them for visual inspection, and apply the contract's evidence and +publication rules.

Then read: -- `./tmp/<id>/item.md` — what we asked for -- `./tmp/<id>/plan.md` — what `/do` planned -- `./tmp/<id>/wrapup.md` — what `/do` claims it delivered and verified -- PR feedback — `gh pr view <pr> --comments` and the review threads, or ask the user to - paste it if it lives outside GitHub -- the run's session transcripts — `~/.claude/projects/<munged-cwd>/*.jsonl` (the cwd with - `/`→`-`; a run may span several files after compaction) and the phase/fix commits - (`git log --reverse --date=... origin/main..HEAD`) — the raw material for step 2 - -**Success criteria**: all sources loaded (or their absence noted — a missing wrapup -is itself a finding; missing transcripts mean the operational analysis is best-effort -from commit timestamps alone). - -### 2. Analyze how the run ran (operations) [always] -Follow `.references/run-operations-analysis.md`: script the transcripts (don't eyeball) to -compute wall-clock span, agent-active vs human-idle time and its %, post-completion idle -(carved out — it inflates duration but isn't a defect), the ranked stalls (agent turn-ends -that needed a human nudge), per-phase pacing from the commits, and the blocker inventory -(`AskUserQuestion` gates, rate-limit hits, legitimate background-agent waits). Name the -single change that would have removed the biggest stall. - -**Success criteria**: the wall-clock/active/idle split is quantified, each in-run stall is -attributed to what it waited on, and the highest-leverage operational fix is named — even -for a run that delivered the right outcome. - -### 3. Establish the outcome gap [human] — only if the run fell short -If the run delivered what was asked, say so and skip to step 5 (an operational-only -postmortem is complete). Otherwise discuss with the human what fell short: delivered vs -intended, concretely. Anchor on the item's intent and ACs — did `/do` miss the ticket, or -did the ticket miss the intent? - -**Success criteria**: either the run is confirmed on-target (outcome track skipped), or the -gap is stated in one or two concrete sentences the human agrees with. - -### 4. Root-cause it in OUR system — only if there was an outcome gap -Trace the gap upstream through the pipeline and name where it entered: -- **Thin ticket** — intent or end state under-specified, so `/do` optimized the wrong thing -- **Weak AC** — verification criteria passed while the intent failed (untestable or - mis-aimed criteria) -- **Missing direction** — a decision the model shouldn't have made alone wasn't locked -- **Review blind spot** — a reviewer should have caught it and the report shows it didn't -- **Skill/agent gap** — a pipeline stage lacks an instruction this failure needed - -The code defect (if any) is a symptom here. Note it, and route the fix through -`/create-plan` then `/do` — not this skill. - -**Success criteria**: one primary system-level cause identified, with evidence from the -step-1 documents (quote the thin section, the weak AC, the review miss). - -### 5. Write the postmortem -Write `./tmp/<id>/postmortem.md` following this skill's `references/postmortem.md` — -emit the filled-in frontmatter and body only; the template's "— format" header and -guidance quotes are authoring notes, not output. Always fill the **Run operations** -section from step 2; fill the outcome sections only when step 3 found a gap (say -"on-target" otherwise). - -Then publish it **as comments on its anchors — never as a separate tracker -issue or work item**. A postmortem is run metadata about existing work; a -standalone issue orphans it from the thing it analyzes and pollutes the -backlog with non-actionable items. The anchors: -- **The work item** (tracker issue the run executed): post the postmortem - body as a comment there, following the repo's artifact-comment convention - (e.g. `ORCHESTRA-ARTIFACT` markers with `path="postmortem.md"`), so a - later pull harvests it with the other run artifacts. -- **The `/do` PR** (when one exists): post the same body as a PR comment — - the reviewer arriving at the PR must see how the run ran without leaving - the page. -- The two anchors are independent — post to every anchor that exists. A - local work item (no tracker configured) whose run still opened a PR gets - the postmortem on that PR; a tracked item whose run died before a PR gets - it on the work item alone. Only when **neither anchor exists** (e.g. a - failure inside a `/create-*` run before anything was published) does the - postmortem stay local in `./tmp/<id>/postmortem.md` — and you tell the - user so. - -Title the comment's first line `# Postmortem — <item> (<ops-only | full>)` -so it's scannable in a long thread. Record the comment URLs in -postmortem.md's "System changes" section. A second invocation on the same -run (the deferred outcome half) posts a follow-up comment on the same -anchors — it never edits or replaces the ops-only comment. - -**Success criteria**: `postmortem.md` exists with the Run operations section filled and -(when the run fell short) the "why the gap happened" section naming the system cause (not -just the code defect); the postmortem body is a comment on the work item and on the -anchor PR when they exist (local-only and the user told, only when neither exists); **no new tracker -issue was created for it**; the comment URLs are recorded. - -### 6.

The pipeline's +reviewers treat an unnamed breaking change as a blocker, so an item that +means to break something must say so. + +Where the conversation left a gap, ask the user directly — one focused round, +not a new discussion. If a codebase fact is missing, request the +`code-researcher` role; for an external fact, request the `web-researcher` +role. The harness adapter owns dispatch and lifecycle syntax. A decision the +user consciously defers is recorded in the item's +Open questions as a deferral — named, never papered over. + +Set the **zone** (0–3) with the user per `.references/zones.md` — stakes and +downstream consequence radius, never diff size; escalator surfaces force +zone ≤ 1.

A missing +green prerequisite is a note unless no useful work can begin. + +Load and validate the work item per `.references/draft-work-item.md`, +`.references/publish-work-item.md`, and `.references/tracker-lifecycle.md`. +Fetch tracker metadata and artifact bundles without overwriting newer local +artifacts. Validate `zone`, `review_lanes`, acceptance criteria, refs, and +readiness. Materialize all work under `./tmp/<id>/`. + +Preserve the tracker's full frontmatter as authoritative state. Local document +content wins over older transported content, except that a newly fetched lean +tracker stub must be replaced by the artifact bundle's authoritative +`item.md`. Fetch the bundle index and every listed file, retrying each request +once. An unreachable configured bundle is a red gate because planning from a +lean stub is unsafe. Legacy marker comments may be harvested only when the +configured tracker contract permits them. + +Classify browser need from the authoritative item.

After preflight, tracker operations are non-blocking and each later +attempt is reported as `verified`, `already-correct`, `failed`, or +`unavailable`. + +Check the item's Dependencies section after loading. When any stage needs a +running application, require `AGENTS.md` to document its launch command, +flags, port or URL, and environment; never invent these values. When criteria +require app-driving proof, require both a documented testing-accounts source +and executable readiness of the browser transport and named test identities. +Report each missing half immediately rather than discovering it during QA. + +Fetch the HTTPS origin default branch and report whether it moved past the +branch point. Check whether the current branch already has an open pull +request. Never create a branch silently, work on the default branch, or amend +an unrelated existing pull request; stop and ask for a suitable branch. + +## Step 1 — Plan + +Derive effort and review dials from `.references/zones.md`: + +- zones 0–1 use full research and a review cap of three; +- zones 2–3 use light research and a review cap of one; +- zone 0 defaults to dual review; zones 1–3 default to single review; +- an explicit `review_lanes: dual | single` overrides the zone default; +- an epic always retains full machinery and a cap of three; +- the Overseer may escalate one notch toward zone 0, with a recorded reason, + but never de-escalate. + +If `zone` is absent, classify it from stakes and downstream consequences, +record the classification and reasoning in plan frontmatter, and proceed. +Do not invent or silently default the value without that record. + +When runtime fallback context is supplied, record requested and effective +lanes plus the fallback cause. The adapter determines the supported effective +lane topology and keeps it stable for the run. + +For the full lane, commission repository research and, when necessary, +external research concurrently. Save the reconciled dossier at +`./tmp/<id>/refs/research-dossier.md`. Recheck conflicts between the dossier, +the item, and the repository; record retained anchors, dropped claims, known +mismatches, and their resolution. + +Write `./tmp/<id>/plan.md` using +`.references/workflows/formats-and-assets/implementation-plan.md`. Facts require +fresh `path:line` evidence. Proposals do not belong in verified-fact sections. +Carry each `AC#` verbatim into Automated or Manual verification. Name open +questions and take the least-committal interpretation instead of silently +assuming. + +Perform a fresh-eyes self-review, then run the configured plan-review lanes +concurrently. Reconcile disagreement and revise until every lane reports zero +must-fix findings or the cap is reached. A materially changed plan earns +another pass; an unchanged plan does not. Record the final confidence and any +survivors. Upload the refreshed artifact bundle when configured. + +If the approved plan pins a dependency that repository install gates require +a human to approve, send the approval request at plan exit. Do not defer +discovering that gate until implementation. + +## Step 2 — Implement + +Give each implementer the item, approved plan, refs, authorization boundaries, +and relevant known-issues pages. A mixed frontend/backend change is one +vertical slice unless chunks are genuinely independent. Every independent +chunk must leave the repository statically green without relying on a later +chunk. + +The implementer owns source changes and the complete touched-surface +typecheck/lint/build loop. Resolve item or reference questions at the Overseer. +Apply green actions and capture red actions as defined above. + +For bulk fan-outs: + +- specify a machine-verifiable completion contract; +- audit the complete batch after every wave; +- expect and repair a silent-failure tail; +- preserve each successful unit in a recoverable commit; +- make quota retries resumable and use blocked intervals for independent work. + +## Step 3 — Verify + +Commission `backend-verifier` to prove every command-shaped acceptance +criterion and relevant rubric in `.references/rubrics/`, following +`.references/verification-methods.md`. Reports quote exact commands and +evidence. Feed failures to the matching implementer and re-verify. + +Verification that itself must start an AI session or feed repository context +to an AI CLI must not run through the ordinary `backend-verifier` role. The +adapter must route that criterion to an expressly authorized, non-recursive +verifier lane. If the adapter has no such lane, report the criterion as blocked +rather than violating the leaf-agent contract or substituting weaker evidence. + +Do not drive UI acceptance here. Run build, typecheck, and component checks, +then mark app-driving criteria `deferred to QA drive`. Apply safe staging +prerequisites before verification so evidence targets the intended schema. + +Testing follows the app's documented instructions. Missing test guidance is a +blocker for that surface, not permission to invent a workflow. Keep secrets +out of argv, logs, artifacts, reports, and telemetry. + +When verification needs a service, start it detached from tool-call timeouts +and record its PID under `./tmp/<id>/`. Stop every service the pipeline +started. When freeing a port, kill only PIDs enumerated before the next launch; +never use a broad process-name kill. Missing testing instructions, +credentials, environment, or tooling stops that verification branch for human +input—do not retry blindly or improvise a substitute. + +This step is complete only when every acceptance criterion and every selected +rubric blocker has quoted passing evidence, except UI criteria explicitly +deferred to the single QA drive. + +## Step 4 — Prepare and open the pull request + +Before staging, inspect status and diffs, preserve unrelated changes, and run a +secret scan. Stage only files belonging to the item. Run the repository's full +touched-surface checks, then commit in the repository's established style. +Synchronize with the HTTPS origin and use force-with-lease only when rewriting +already-pushed history. + +Run a deploy-notes scan over schema and migrations, environment variables and +secrets, infrastructure and CI, new third-party dependencies, and one-time +scripts or backfills. Split every finding by action tier: + +- apply a green non-production prerequisite before the evidence that depends + on it; if this scan finds it late, apply it and rerun the affected proof; +- capture the red production, irreversible, or secret-bearing counterpart as + a human deploy action and never execute it; +- never describe an unapplied production change as a verification + prerequisite, because evidence must target a safe non-production system; +- when one change has both halves, record both the applied staging action and + deferred production action rather than collapsing them into one note. + +Build the pull-request body from +`.references/workflows/formats-and-assets/pr-body.md`. Include: + +- summary and What/Why/How at reviewer altitude; +- visual overview, with before/after evidence for user-visible changes or a + rendered diagram for flow-shaped changes; +- user journeys and manual tests only when they exist; +- automated verification and residual risks; +- QA placeholders and deploy notes; +- exact tracker closing lines from `.references/tracker-lifecycle.md`. + +Host evidence in a durable, permission-scoped location. Never commit QA media. +Open the pull request with repository-defined labels and metadata; never +invent taxonomy. Read back the persisted body and repair any lost closing +line before advancing. + +## Step 5 — Post-publication review and QA + +Run all effective code-review lanes concurrently against the open pull-request +diff. Map native severity formats to: + +- critical/high or P0/P1: must fix; +- medium or P2: should fix; +- low or P3: nice to have. + +Loop must-fix findings to the implementer, selectively commit and push fixes, +then re-review. A sharp lane divergence permits one convergence pass. A pass +with zero must-fix findings ends the loop; should-fix findings alone never +trigger another pass. At the cap, disclose survivors in the wrap-up. + +Then perform one QA drive: + +- `frontend-verifier` proves deferred UI criteria and manual journeys; +- `backend-verifier` proves command-shaped manual items; +- zones 0–1 run full QA, zone 2 trims non-acceptance manual work, and zone 3 + skips non-acceptance manual work; +- acceptance evidence that requires the running app is never trimmed. + +The frontend brief includes launch commands, flags, URL, environment, test +mode, cleanup, and `.references/qa-verification.md`. Require ordered, +step-named screenshots for meaningful states and one video per scripted +journey. Use a unique marker and verify external effects by provider readback. +Before dispatch, save `git status --short`. Accept only the actual dispatched +verifier's completed `evidence-manifest.json` and files within its current +attempt evidence directory; reject missing, partial, unlisted, fixture, or +older-attempt evidence. Compare `git status --short` afterward byte-for-byte +with the saved value so evidence publication never edits the repository. + +Update the pull-request body first: check passed manual items, mark human-only +items, fill the QA summary, and add after-shots. Then post a proof comment with +quoted command output and grouped chronological galleries. Host every +enumerated capture and verify it is present in the persisted body or comment. +Repository status must remain byte-for-byte unchanged by evidence publication. + +A QA-discovered defect is fixed before shipping, followed by a scoped review +of the fix and rerun of affected QA. Publish surviving non-blocking review +findings as line-anchored comments. + +## Step 6 — Wrap up + +Assemble the run record from actual sources: + +- zone, requested/effective dials, fallback context, and pass counts; +- pull-request size; +- per-role model, effort, dispatch count, duration, and token usage; +- total spend ratio when source data supports it; +- verification and QA outcomes; +- remaining risks and human actions. + +Record `unknown` when a source does not expose a value; never estimate. +Write `./tmp/<id>/wrapup.md` from +`.references/workflows/formats-and-assets/wrap-up-report.md`, post it to the +pull request, and refresh the artifact bundle. + +Run the tracker lifecycle's current-item handoff set, recording each operation +as `verified`, `already-correct`, `failed`, or `unavailable`. Apply the +`awaiting-human-review` label when configured, creating it when missing. Run +retained merged-PR hygiene and record outcomes. + +Lead the final report with the pull-request link and a Human action required +block split into completed green actions and outstanding red/external actions. +Then summarize implementation, verification, review, QA, and unresolved risk. +Notify completion. + +Finally run the postmortem workflow in operations-only mode. It publishes run +timing and stall analysis but does not gate or modify the completed work. + +## Epic protocol + +For an epic-spec item, execute one phase at a time: run Steps 1–3 separately +for each phase and never overlap phases. + +1. Write `plan-<n>.md` for the current phase. +2. Implement and verify only that phase. +3. Run the configured review lanes over that phase's diff, using the epic + review cap of three and the zone-derived lane count unless the epic has an + explicit override. +4. Fix and re-verify must-fix findings, run the build gate, and commit the + verified phase. +5. Mark that phase complete in the epic spec only after the commit exists, + then proceed immediately to the next phase. + +After the final phase, perform the deploy-notes scan over the complete epic +diff, synchronize and publish the final pull request, and run post-publication +review, QA, wrap-up, and postmortem once for the whole epic. The phase +checkmarks plus per-phase plans are the durable resume record. Never pause +between phases for a human nudge. + +## Non-negotiable rules + +- Never expand scope beyond the work item. Record adjacent work separately. +- Every artifact is checked by a fresh-context reader other than its author. + Reviewers never edit, and an implementer never reviews its own output. +- Reviewer prompts are neutral.

Do not add Mermaid diagrams by default; add Mermaid only if the user explicitly asks for a durable text-rendered fallback. +- Save matching `.excalidraw` source files under `/tmp` for local iteration and future reuse. +- PR visual overviews must include explicit `Before` and `After` diagrams so reviewers can see both the old behavior and the new behavior without inferring the diff from prose. +- Keep each PR diagram focused on the change boundary: before, after, and why the new flow is safer. +- After generating diagrams, update the PR description with a dedicated `## Visual Overview` section. + +### PR Asset Publishing + +Default: PR images are **hosted, not committed**. Upload the rendered PNG to +a durable host and reference it inline in the PR body. Scriptable default: a +rolling GitHub release in the target repo — `gh release create pr-assets --notes "PR image assets"` +once, then `gh release upload pr-assets <image>.png` per image; the asset's +download URL renders inline and outlives branches. (GitHub user-attachment +URLs — drag an image into a comment box — are equally durable but have no +API; use them when a human or a browser-driving agent is doing the upload. +A project upload endpoint or temporary host also works.) The repo stays +free of multi-MB render blobs, and every re-render is just a new URL. If +only a temporary host is available, note its expiry next to the image. + +Commit the image only when it is embedded in tracked docs (a README, design +doc) that needs a stable in-repo path — then `.github/pr-assets/` or +`docs/`, referenced with a blob URL + `?raw=1`, e.g. +`https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>/blob/<branch>/.github/pr-assets/<image>.png?raw=1`. +Keep `.excalidraw` sources outside the repo unless the user asks to track them. + +Either way: + +- After updating, open or fetch the image URL. A PR visual with a 404 image is a failed handoff. +- Read back or preview the PR body after updating it. Markdown that collapses bullets, headings, or the image into one paragraph is a failed handoff. + +### PR Diagram Standard + +For PR diagrams, a simple pair of red/green cards is not acceptable. The diagram must teach the change in a way prose cannot. + +Before drawing, identify the visual truth of the PR: + +- **Boundary changed**: draw walls, membranes, trust zones, or origin/process boundaries. +- **Lifecycle changed**: draw a state machine, gate sequence, or retry loop. +- **Responsibility moved**: draw before/after ownership regions and move the action across them. +- **Failure mode removed**: draw the old failure path visibly dead-ending and the new path avoiding it. +- **Concurrency/race fixed**: draw clocks, timelines, joins, or retry circuits. +- **Validation/permissions changed**: draw a decision path, lock/gate, and what passes through it. + +Every PR visual overview must include: + +- A **before path** showing where the old system failed or was fragile. +- An **after path** showing the new route/control point. +- At least one **semantic visual structure**: boundary, timeline, loop, funnel, state machine, swimlane, queue, fan-out, convergence, or layered stack. +- One short **truth statement** that explains the visual argument in plain language. +- A small **term explainer** when the diagram uses protocol/framework words that a reviewer may not know. Do not assume terms like header, preflight, origin, token, cookie, CORS, WebSocket upgrade, cache key, breakpoint, or trace are self-explanatory. + +Do not use the same diagram structure for a series of PRs unless the code changes truly have the same shape. Split PRs usually need different visual metaphors because they fix different kinds of problems. + +### Shareable Explainers + +When the user wants a PR image that can teach the change to someone else, design it as a shareable explainer, not just reviewer decoration. + +- Make the title state the strategic outcome, not the implementation detail. +- Show the old blind spot, failure mode, or uncertainty on the left. +- Show the new loop, boundary, path, or control point on the right. +- Include at least one concrete example input and one concrete output. Real event names, endpoint paths, page names, source URLs, or dashboard fields make the image feel authoritative. +- If measurement is part of the value, show what gets captured and how it becomes a decision, backlog item, or next action. +- Add enough whitespace that each box can breathe. If an arrow needs to loop back, route it around the outside of the boxes. +- Inspect the final image at the size GitHub shows in a PR. If the viewer must open the image full size to understand it, simplify the diagram. + +### Reviewer Explainers + +When a PR involves technical protocol behavior, include a compact teaching layer in the visual: + +- Define the technical noun in a concrete metaphor before using it. Example: `headers = extra notes the browser wants to attach`, `preflight = permission check before the real request`, `origin = website address the browser trusts or blocks`. +- Show who performs each action. Example: `Browser asks`, `API answers`, `Browser blocks`, not just `headers requested`. +- Use concrete examples sparingly: `login badge`, `Sentry trace`, `Firebase app id` is clearer than a long raw header list. +- Keep the official term visible in parentheses after the plain-English term when useful: `permission check (CORS preflight)`. +- If the diagram has a metaphor, keep it mapped to the real system with labels. A security desk can teach CORS, but the browser/API roles must remain visible. + +For review diagrams, assume the reader is smart but has not learned this subsystem yet. If the reader would ask "who does that?" or "what is that?", add a visual cue or one-line explainer instead of relying on the PR prose. + +## Customization + +**All colors and brand-specific styles live in one file:** +`.references/workflows/formats-and-assets/excalidraw/color-palette.md`. Read it +before generating any diagram and use it as the single source of truth for all +color choices. + +To make this skill produce diagrams in your own brand style, edit `color-palette.md`. Everything else in this file is universal design methodology and Excalidraw best practices. + +--- + +## Core Philosophy + +**Diagrams should ARGUE, not DISPLAY.** + +A diagram isn't formatted text. It's a visual argument that shows relationships, causality, and flow that words alone can't express. The shape should BE the meaning. + +**The Isomorphism Test**: If you removed all text, would the structure alone communicate the concept? If not, redesign. + +**The Education Test**: Could someone learn something concrete from this diagram, or does it just label boxes? A good diagram teaches—it shows actual formats, real event names, concrete examples. + +**The Redundancy Test**: If the diagram is just the PR description broken into red and green rectangles, discard it. A good diagram uses spatial relationships, arrows, boundaries, and shape to reveal something the prose does not. + +**The High-Schooler Test**: A smart high-schooler should be able to point at the diagram and explain the core before/after change without reading the full PR. If they would only read labels out loud, redesign. + +--- + +## Depth Assessment (Do This First) + +Before designing, determine what level of detail this diagram needs: + +### Simple/Conceptual Diagrams +Use abstract shapes when: +- Explaining a mental model or philosophy +- The audience doesn't need technical specifics +- The concept IS the abstraction (e.g., "separation of concerns") + +### Comprehensive/Technical Diagrams +Use concrete examples when: +- Diagramming a real system, protocol, or architecture +- The diagram will be used to teach or explain (e.g., YouTube video) +- The audience needs to understand what things actually look like +- You're showing how multiple technologies integrate + +**For technical diagrams, you MUST include evidence artifacts** (see below). + +--- + +## Research Mandate (For Technical Diagrams) + +**Before drawing anything technical, research the actual specifications.** + +If you're diagramming a protocol, API, or framework: +1. Look up the actual JSON/data formats +2. Find the real event names, method names, or API endpoints +3. Understand how the pieces actually connect +4. Use real terminology, not generic placeholders + +Bad: "Protocol" → "Frontend" +Good: "AG-UI streams events (RUN_STARTED, STATE_DELTA, A2UI_UPDATE)" → "CopilotKit renders via createA2UIMessageRenderer()" + +--- + +## Evidence Artifacts + +Evidence artifacts are concrete examples that prove your diagram is accurate and help viewers learn. Include them in technical diagrams. + +**Types of evidence artifacts** (choose what's relevant to your diagram): + +| Artifact Type | When to Use | How to Render | +|---------------|-------------|---------------| +| **Code snippets** | APIs, integrations, implementation details | Dark rectangle + syntax-colored text (see color palette for evidence artifact colors) | +| **Data/JSON examples** | Data formats, schemas, payloads | Dark rectangle + colored text (see color palette) | +| **Event/step sequences** | Protocols, workflows, lifecycles | Timeline pattern (line + dots + labels) | +| **UI mockups** | Showing actual output/results | Nested rectangles mimicking real UI | +| **Real input content** | Showing what goes IN to a system | Rectangle with sample content visible | +| **API/method names** | Real function calls, endpoints | Use actual names from docs, not placeholders | + +**Example**: For a diagram about a streaming protocol, you might show: +- The actual event names from the spec (not just "Event 1", "Event 2") +- A code snippet showing how to connect +- What the streamed data actually looks like + +**Example**: For a diagram about a data transformation pipeline: +- Show sample input data (actual format, not "Input") +- Show sample output data (actual format, not "Output") +- Show intermediate states if relevant + +The key principle: **show what things actually look like**, not just what they're called. + +--- + +## Multi-Zoom Architecture + +Comprehensive diagrams operate at multiple zoom levels simultaneously. Think of it like a map that shows both the country borders AND the street names. + +### Level 1: Summary Flow +A simplified overview showing the full pipeline or process at a glance. Often placed at the top or bottom of the diagram. + +*Example*: `Input → Processing → Output` or `Client → Server → Database` + +### Level 2: Section Boundaries +Labeled regions that group related components. These create visual "rooms" that help viewers understand what belongs together. + +*Example*: Grouping by responsibility (Backend / Frontend), by phase (Setup / Execution / Cleanup), or by team (User / System / External) + +### Level 3: Detail Inside Sections +Evidence artifacts, code snippets, and concrete examples within each section. This is where the educational value lives. + +*Example*: Inside a "Backend" section, you might show the actual API response format, not just a box labeled "API Response" + +**For comprehensive diagrams, aim to include all three levels.** The summary gives context, the sections organize, and the details teach. + +### Bad vs Good + +| Bad (Displaying) | Good (Arguing) | +|------------------|----------------| +| 5 equal boxes with labels | Each concept has a shape that mirrors its behavior | +| Card grid layout | Visual structure matches conceptual structure | +| Icons decorating text | Shapes that ARE the meaning | +| Same container for everything | Distinct visual vocabulary per concept | +| Everything in a box | Free-floating text with selective containers | +| Red card titled "Before" beside green card titled "After" | A before failure path and an after success path with different routing | +| Repeating the same template across unrelated PRs | Choosing a visual metaphor per PR: boundary, lifecycle, race, permission gate, retry loop | +| Paragraphs pasted into shapes | Short labels plus visual evidence, arrows, gates, and concrete artifacts | + +### Hard Anti-Patterns + +Never ship these unless the user explicitly asks for a deliberately minimal sketch: + +- Two large cards that simply summarize "Before" and "After". +- A diagram whose boxes could be replaced by bullets with no loss of meaning. +- Red/green color as the only source of meaning. +- Multiple PR diagrams with the same layout when the PRs solve different problems. +- Oversized headings that force the rest of the diagram to sprawl. +- Long prose inside Excalidraw text boxes. +- Rendered output where any text, title, arrow, or shape is clipped. +- Rendered output where key content requires horizontal scrolling to understand. + +### Simple vs Comprehensive (Know Which You Need) + +| Simple Diagram | Comprehensive Diagram | +|----------------|----------------------| +| Generic labels: "Input" → "Process" → "Output" | Specific: shows what the input/output actually looks like | +| Named boxes: "API", "Database", "Client" | Named boxes + examples of actual requests/responses | +| "Events" or "Messages" label | Timeline with real event/message names from the spec | +| "UI" or "Dashboard" rectangle | Mockup showing actual UI elements and content | +| ~30 seconds to explain | ~2-3 minutes of teaching content | +| Viewer learns the structure | Viewer learns the structure AND the details | + +**Simple diagrams** are fine for abstract concepts, quick overviews, or when the audience already knows the details. **Comprehensive diagrams** are needed for technical architectures, tutorials, educational content, or when you want the diagram itself to teach. + +--- + +## Container vs. Free-Floating Text + +**Not every piece of text needs a shape around it.** Default to free-floating text. Add containers only when they serve a purpose. + +| Use a Container When... | Use Free-Floating Text When... | +|------------------------|-------------------------------| +| It's the focal point of a section | It's a label or description | +| It needs visual grouping with other elements | It's supporting detail or metadata | +| Arrows need to connect to it | It describes something nearby | +| The shape itself carries meaning (decision diamond, etc.) | Typography alone creates sufficient hierarchy | +| It represents a distinct "thing" in the system | It's a section title, subtitle, or annotation | + +**Typography as hierarchy**: Use font size, weight, and color to create visual hierarchy without boxes. A 28px title doesn't need a rectangle around it. + +**The container test**: For each boxed element, ask "Would this work as free-floating text?" If yes, remove the container. + +## Canvas, Text, and Fit Rules + +Excalidraw text does not wrap exactly like normal HTML. Design for the renderer, not for wishful JSON dimensions. + +### Canvas + +- Start with a larger canvas than you think you need. For PR diagrams, plan around roughly **1600-2200 px wide** and **900-1400 px tall** before export. +- Use the larger canvas for meaningful spatial structure, not for giant titles or long paragraphs. +- Prefer two or three clear regions over many cramped micro-panels. +- Leave at least **80 px** outer margin and **50 px** between major regions. + +### Text + +- Keep titles short: ideally under 55 characters. +- Use smaller title type than instinct suggests: **24-30 px** is usually enough. +- Use labels at **14-18 px** and truth statements at **16-20 px**. +- Keep shape labels to **1-4 short lines**. If a label needs more, split it into multiple nearby annotations or make the diagram itself carry more meaning. +- Manually insert line breaks. Do not rely on Excalidraw/renderer wrapping. +- Make text boxes wider than the text appears to need. Add at least **30-50% extra width** as a safety margin. +- For every text element, set `width` and `height` generously. Clipping is a hard failure. + +### Render Fit + +After rendering, inspect at the exact PNG that will be shown in the PR: + +- If anything is clipped, increase canvas space or shrink/reposition text. +- If the diagram is mostly text, remove prose and add visual structure. +- If the title dominates the image, shrink it. +- If labels overlap arrows or shapes, move labels out of the flow path. +- If the image is too wide to understand in GitHub, reduce prose and stack regions vertically. + +--- + +## Design Process (Do This BEFORE Generating JSON) + +### Step 0: Assess Depth Required +Before anything else, determine if this needs to be: +- **Simple/Conceptual**: Abstract shapes, labels, relationships (mental models, philosophies) +- **Comprehensive/Technical**: Concrete examples, code snippets, real data (systems, architectures, tutorials) + +**If comprehensive**: Do research first. Look up actual specs, formats, event names, APIs. + +### Step 1: Understand Deeply +Read the content. For each concept, ask: +- What does this concept **DO**? (not what IS it) +- What relationships exist between concepts? +- What's the core transformation or flow? +- **What would someone need to SEE to understand this?** (not just read about) + +### Step 2: Map Concepts to Patterns +For each concept, find the visual pattern that mirrors its behavior: + +| If the concept... | Use this pattern | +|-------------------|------------------| +| Spawns multiple outputs | **Fan-out** (radial arrows from center) | +| Combines inputs into one | **Convergence** (funnel, arrows merging) | +| Has hierarchy/nesting | **Tree** (lines + free-floating text) | +| Is a sequence of steps | **Timeline** (line + dots + free-floating labels) | +| Loops or improves continuously | **Spiral/Cycle** (arrow returning to start) | +| Is an abstract state or context | **Cloud** (overlapping ellipses) | +| Transforms input to output | **Assembly line** (before → process → after) | +| Compares two things | **Side-by-side** (parallel with contrast) | +| Separates into phases | **Gap/Break** (visual separation between sections) | + +### Step 3: Ensure Variety +For multi-concept diagrams: **each major concept must use a different visual pattern**. No uniform cards or grids. + +### Step 4: Sketch the Flow +Before JSON, mentally trace how the eye moves through the diagram. There should be a clear visual story. + +### Step 5: Generate JSON +Only now create the Excalidraw elements. **See below for how to handle large diagrams.** + +### Step 6: Render & Validate (MANDATORY) +After generating the JSON, you MUST run the render-view-fix loop until the diagram looks right. This is not optional — see the **Render & Validate** section below for the full process. + +--- + +## Large / Comprehensive Diagram Strategy + +**For comprehensive or technical diagrams, build the JSON one section at a +time.** Do not attempt the entire file in one pass; a comprehensive diagram +can exceed a single turn's output budget. + +### The Section-by-Section Workflow + +**Phase 1: Build each section** + +1. **Create the base file** with the JSON wrapper (`type`, `version`, `appState`, `files`) and the first section of elements. +2. **Add one section per edit.** Each section gets its own dedicated pass — take your time with it. Think carefully about the layout, spacing, and how this section connects to what's already there. +3. **Use descriptive string IDs** (e.g., `"trigger_rect"`, `"arrow_fan_left"`) so cross-section references are readable. +4. **Namespace seeds by section** (e.g., section 1 uses 100xxx, section 2 uses 200xxx) to avoid collisions. +5. **Update cross-section bindings** as you go. When a new section's element needs to bind to an element from a previous section (e.g., an arrow connecting sections), edit the earlier element's `boundElements` array at the same time. + +**Phase 2: Review the whole** + +After all sections are in place, read through the complete JSON and check: +- Are cross-section arrows bound correctly on both ends? +- Is the overall spacing balanced, or are some sections cramped while others have too much whitespace? +- Do IDs and bindings all reference elements that actually exist? + +Fix any alignment or binding issues before rendering. + +**Phase 3: Render & validate** + +Now run the render-view-fix loop from the Render & Validate section. This is where you'll catch visual issues that aren't obvious from JSON — overlaps, clipping, imbalanced composition. + +### Section Boundaries + +Plan your sections around natural visual groupings from the diagram plan. A typical large diagram might split into: + +- **Section 1**: Entry point / trigger +- **Section 2**: First decision or routing +- **Section 3**: Main content (hero section — may be the largest single section) +- **Section 4-N**: Remaining phases, outputs, etc. + +Each section should be independently understandable: its elements, internal arrows, and any cross-references to adjacent sections. + +### What NOT to Do + +- **Don't generate the entire diagram in one response.** You will hit the output token limit and produce truncated, broken JSON. +- **Don't use a coding agent** to generate the JSON — it won't have this skill's rules in context. +- **Don't write a Python generator script** — hand-craft the JSON with descriptive IDs. + +--- + +## Visual Pattern Library + +### Fan-Out (One-to-Many) +Central element with arrows radiating to multiple targets.

Every color choice should come +from `.references/workflows/formats-and-assets/excalidraw/color-palette.md`; +the semantic shape colors, text hierarchy colors, and evidence artifact +colors are all defined there. + +**Key principles:** +- Each semantic purpose (start, end, decision, AI, error, etc.) has a specific fill/stroke pair +- Free-floating text uses color for hierarchy (titles, subtitles, details — each at a different level) +- Evidence artifacts (code snippets, JSON examples) use their own dark background + colored text scheme +- Always pair a darker stroke with a lighter fill for contrast + +**Do not invent new colors.** If a concept doesn't fit an existing semantic category, use Primary/Neutral or Secondary. + +--- + +## Modern Aesthetics + +For clean, professional diagrams: + +### Roughness +- `roughness: 0` — Clean, crisp edges. Use for modern/technical diagrams. +- `roughness: 1` — Hand-drawn, organic feel. Use for brainstorming/informal diagrams. + +**Default to 0** for most professional use cases. + +### Stroke Width +- `strokeWidth: 1` — Thin, elegant. Good for lines, dividers, subtle connections. +- `strokeWidth: 2` — Standard. Good for shapes and primary arrows. +- `strokeWidth: 3` — Bold. Use sparingly for emphasis (main flow line, key connections). + +### Opacity +**Always use `opacity: 100` for all elements.** Use color, size, and stroke width to create hierarchy instead of transparency. + +### Small Markers Instead of Shapes +Instead of full shapes, use small dots (10-20px ellipses) as: +- Timeline markers +- Bullet points +- Connection nodes +- Visual anchors for free-floating text + +--- + +## Layout Principles + +### Hierarchy Through Scale +- **Hero**: 300×150 - visual anchor, most important +- **Primary**: 180×90 +- **Secondary**: 120×60 +- **Small**: 60×40 + +### Whitespace = Importance +The most important element has the most empty space around it (200px+). + +### Flow Direction +Guide the eye: typically left→right or top→bottom for sequences, radial for hub-and-spoke. + +### Connections Required +Position alone doesn't show relationships.

After generating or editing the Excalidraw JSON, you MUST render it to PNG, view the image, and fix what you see — in a loop until it's right.

Then use the available image viewer on the PNG to actually inspect it, such as the Read tool, `view_image`, or a browser screenshot. + +### The Loop + +After generating the initial JSON, run this cycle: + +**1. Render & View** — Run the render script, then Read the PNG. + +**2. Audit against your original vision** — Before looking for bugs, compare the rendered result to what you designed in Steps 1-4. Ask: +- Does the visual structure match the conceptual structure you planned? +- Does each section use the pattern you intended (fan-out, convergence, timeline, etc.)? +- Does the eye flow through the diagram in the order you designed? +- Is the visual hierarchy correct — hero elements dominant, supporting elements smaller? +- For technical diagrams: are the evidence artifacts (code snippets, data examples) readable and properly placed? +- For PR diagrams: does the rendered image tell a non-redundant before/after story through structure, not just labels? +- Would the image still communicate the main change if the prose paragraphs were removed? + +**3. Check for visual defects:** +- Text clipped by or overflowing its container +- Text or shapes overlapping other elements +- Arrows crossing through elements instead of routing around them +- Arrows landing on the wrong element or pointing into empty space +- Arrowheads, dashed loops, or feedback paths visually sitting on top of boxes or labels +- Labels floating ambiguously (not clearly anchored to what they describe) +- Uneven spacing between elements that should be evenly spaced +- Sections with too much whitespace next to sections that are too cramped +- Text too small to read at the rendered size +- Overall composition feels lopsided or unbalanced +- Any part of the title, subtitle, truth statement, or major region clipped by the screenshot bounds +- A horizontally sprawling image whose important content is hard to scan in a GitHub PR +- PR-specific defects: the committed image URL 404s, the PR body image does not render, or Markdown formatting collapses into a single paragraph. + +**4. Fix** — Edit the JSON to address everything you found. Common fixes: +- Widen containers when text is clipped +- Adjust `x`/`y` coordinates to fix spacing and alignment +- Add intermediate waypoints to arrow `points` arrays to route around elements +- Reposition labels closer to the element they describe +- Resize elements to rebalance visual weight across sections +- Shrink titles and labels before enlarging the diagram further. +- Replace long labels with a diagrammatic construct: boundary, queue, gate, loop, timeline, or swimlane. + +**5.
