Use when a document produced in this collection (board, plan, report, analysis, durable doc) could carry a diagram, or when a design question would settle faster shown than said. Picks the diagram that answers the open question and holds the discipline that keeps a diagram readable. Not for decoration: no open question, no diagram.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Write diagrams **A diagram makes a boundary, an ordering, or a dependency visible early enough to argue about cheaply**, and stays as compressed context for the next reader. ## The catalog **`diagrams.md` maps each open question to the diagram that answers it.** Read it before drawing. No open question, no diagram. **Draw while a question is open, not only in the final document**: the container diagram with a `?` on the contested arrow, and ask "which of these two?". ## The discipline - **One diagram per open question.** A diagram that restates a paragraph is deleted. - **Every diagram carries a one-line caption right above the fence**: its catalog type and the question it answers, *"Dependency graph: what may import what after this change."* - **Draw only what one sentence cannot say.** - **Every arrow is labeled** with what flows and in which direction, **unless the shape carries it**: when every arrow means the same thing and no node has two outgoing arrows, the node names already say it. The moment a node branches, or two arrows mean different things, every arrow gets a label. - **Real names of real things**: actual service, table and module names, never `Service A`. …

How to install
mdr add ovich/swarmstorm/write-diagrams@sha256:851149fef718d81bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260930.1f00423, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
