description: Help the user understand the current topic visually with concise diagrams, code-shape sketches, and focused HTML artifacts.
license: Apache-2.0

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:

 on(save)
-  write content
+  if content is unchanged
+    return cached result
+  write new content
+  invalidate cache

• Show the whole block when most of it is new, when omitted context would hide ownership or order, or when the user needs a copyable target shape:

function expandSkill(command: string): string {
  const skillName = command.slice(1)
  return `use the ${skillName} skill`
}

• For a visual UI, layout, state comparison, or concept too dense for Mermaid, create one focused HTML artifact. Match the product's colors, type, spacing, and components; use real labels and data; support desktop and mobile. Save the artifact in the workspace and return a clickable link or preview supported by the host. Follow the repository's artifact-location and sharing rules; do not publish private content to an external service without permission.

• Place each visual next to the short text it supports. Keep only the calls, files, props, states, and boundaries needed to answer the user's current question.
