Argument Resolution Priority
--stop — stop server and exit--html flag — set HTML output mode flag- Generation flags (
--explain, --slides, --diagram, --ascii) — load references/generation-modes.md
- HTML-only flags (
--diff, --plan-review, --recap) — auto-set HTML, load references/generation-modes.md
- Argument is a path — view mode, load
references/view-mode.md
- Unresolvable — ask user to clarify
Output Path
- Active plan (from
## Plan Context hook): {plan_dir}/visuals/{mode}-{slug}-{date}.{ext}
- Fallback:
plans/visuals/{mode}-{slug}-{date}.{ext}
Topic-to-slug: lowercase, hyphens, alphanumeric only, max 80 chars.
HTML Mode
When --html is added:
- Self-contained single HTML file (no external dependencies except Mermaid CDN)
- Embedded CSS with dark/light theme toggle (MANDATORY)
- Mermaid diagrams render interactively
- Auto-opens via
xdg-open (Linux) or open (macOS)
Before generating HTML, read: references/html-design-guidelines.md
Reference loading by mode: references/generation-modes.md
