Initial release: diagram-design v1.0

Thirteen editorial diagram types (architecture, flowchart, sequence,
state, ER, timeline, swimlane, quadrant, nested, tree, layers, venn,
pyramid) as self-contained HTML files with inline SVG.

Progressive disclosure: lean SKILL.md points to per-type references.
Neutral stone+rust default skin, first-run gate that prompts users
to customize the style guide from their own website, URL-based
onboarding, annotation-callout primitive, sketchy filter variant,
live gallery at assets/index.html.

# Swimlane
**Best for:** cross-functional processes, RACI-style flows, vendor handoffs, multi-team shipping workflows.
## Layout conventions
- Horizontal lanes (or vertical columns) — one per actor/team. Label each lane in the left margin (or top) with a Geist Mono eyebrow.
- Lane dividers: 1px hairlines.
- Process steps are rectangles placed inside the lane of the actor performing them; arrows show flow.
- Handoffs (arrows crossing lane boundaries) are the most important edges — consider coral on the handoff that introduces the most coupling or latency.
- Don't force equal step count per lane; a lane with one step is fine.
## Anti-patterns
- Lanes without labels.
- A step drawn across two lanes (pick one owner).
- Arrows that snake back and forth — reorder steps so the flow is mostly straight.
## Examples
- `assets/example-swimlane.html` — minimal light
- `assets/example-swimlane-dark.html` — minimal dark
- `assets/example-swimlane-full.html` — full editorial
