• Cross-Platform #Diagramming #DSL #Markup Language

  • Problem

    • Diagramming is an afterthought in every programming language

      • When helping engineers with technical tasks, #LLM based AI Agents need to be able to communicate architectural ideas to both humans and other agents. Currently, LLMs can produce Mermaid Diagram in Mermaid, but the only way to render that is to call Mermaid/mmdc, a CLI tool which actually, according to Mermaid/DeepWiki, uses Puppeteer, a Browser/Headless, to render the image.

    • Inspiration

      • As a result, ChatGPT/Code/Interpreter cannot compile to verify the syntax of the mermaid diagrams it generates, as it only has access to a python interpreter with mostly Native Implementation libraries.

    • Suggestion

      • Instead, we should create a language specification for a text to diagram markup language which is intended to produce Native Implementations of the rendering behavior in each target language using AI Coding.
