Copied from the file, not written here
Create UML sequence diagrams using sequencediagram.org syntax. Use when users request sequence diagrams, interaction diagrams, API flow visualizations, system communication flows, or ask to visualize message exchanges between components/actors. Outputs plain text (.txt) files compatible with sequencediagram.org for viewing and exporting.

Sequence Diagram Builder
Generate UML sequence diagrams using sequencediagram.org text syntax.
Quick Start
Create a sequence diagram by:
- Gather requirements about the interaction flow to visualize
- Define participants (actors, systems, databases, etc.)
- Map out the message flow between participants
- Add conditional logic, loops, and notes as needed
- Generate a .txt file with the diagram syntax
Output Format
Always save diagrams as .txt files. The user can open these files at https://sequencediagram.org to view and export to various formats (PNG, PDF, SVG).
Syntax Reference
For complete syntax details including participants, messages, control structures, notes, styling, and more, see @references/syntax.md.
Common Patterns
For complex diagrams or specific scenarios, see @references/examples.md for pre-built patterns:
- API request/response flows
- Authentication sequences
- Database transaction patterns
- Microservices communication
- Error handling flows
Workflow
- Understand the interaction: Ask clarifying questions about what needs to be visualized
- Identify participants: Determine all actors, systems, and components involved
- Map message flow: Document the sequence of interactions
- Add structure: Include conditionals, loops, and parallel flows as needed
- Add documentation: Use notes to clarify complex steps
- Generate file: Create a .txt file with the complete diagram syntax
- Validate: Review the output for completeness and clarity
Tips
- Use descriptive participant names that match the user's terminology
- Break complex flows into separate diagrams rather than one overwhelming diagram
- Add notes for business logic or important details not captured in messages
- Use
