// Create data pipeline and analytics architecture diagrams using PlantUML syntax with database/analytics stencil icons. Best for ETL pipelines, data lakes, real-time streaming, data warehousing, and BI dashboard design.
Create editorial-style information cards using HTML/CSS in Markdown. Best for knowledge summaries, data highlights, event announcements, and single-topic content cards with magazine-quality typography.
Create template-based infographics with space-separated key-value syntax (NOT YAML). Best for KPI dashboards, timelines, roadmaps, SWOT analysis, funnels, comparisons, and org charts with quick visual impact.
Create ArchiMate enterprise architecture diagrams using PlantUML stdlib macros. Best for TOGAF viewpoints, layered EA modeling (Business/Application/Technology), motivation analysis, and migration planning.
Create layered system architecture diagrams using HTML/CSS templates with color-coded tiers and grid layouts. Best for technology stacks, microservices topology, and multi-tier application design.
Create business process diagrams using PlantUML syntax with BPMN, EIP, and Lean Mapping stencil icons. Best for workflow automation, approval chains, message-based integration patterns, and value stream mapping.
Create spatial diagrams with free-positioned nodes using JSON format. Best for concept maps, knowledge graphs, and planning boards requiring precise x/y coordinate control.

Quick Start: Define data sources → Declare ingestion/ETL icons → Connect to storage/warehouse → Add BI/visualization → Wrap in ```plantuml fence.
⚠️ IMPORTANT: Always use
```plantumlor```pumlcode fence. NEVER use```text— it will NOT render as a diagram.
