## Prompt

```text
Turn the description below into a clear diagram.

**What to diagram:** [PROCESS / SYSTEM / ORG CHART / DECISION TREE / TIMELINE / MIND MAP]
**Details:** [PASTE steps, roles, components, or notes]
**Audience:** [who will read it]
**Format:** [Mermaid (default) / Graphviz DOT / PlantUML]

Rules:
- Pick the diagram type that best fits (flowchart, sequence, mind map, Gantt, etc.) and tell me why in one line.
- Keep labels short; one idea per node.
- Show decision points and loops explicitly.
- If anything in my description is ambiguous, make a reasonable assumption and list it.

Return the diagram code in a code block, then a one-paragraph plain-language explanation of the diagram, and say where I can paste the code to render it (e.g. mermaid.live).
```

## What to fill in

- PASTE steps, roles, components, or notes
- who will read it
- Mermaid (default) / Graphviz DOT / PlantUML
