description: Create technical and product diagrams — architecture, IT current-state, flowchart, sequence, state machine, ER / data model, timeline, swimlane, quadrant, radar / spider, loop / flywheel, nested, tree, org chart, layer stack, venn, pyramid / funnel, bar chart, line chart, Gantt, scatter plot, high-level, process, medallion, data flow, DP integration, DP security matrix — as standalone HTML files with inline SVG. Also imports existing draw.io / diagrams.net files (.drawio, .drawio.png, .drawio.svg) and redraws them at a chosen output format (HTML / SVG / PNG), canvas size (slide, social card, doc, print), and level of detail (faithful reproduction or simplified for the audience's technical level). Ships with a neutral editorial skin and a first-run gate that prompts users to customize the style guide (colors, fonts) from their own website before generating. Includes annotation-callout primitive and optional sketchy variant.

An import is bounded by its source: never invent a component to fill a layout, and never silently drop one.
