Read this first. Returns the complete notation for describing an IT architecture (compact DSL + equivalent JSON), the available styles, group kinds and a worked example. No arguments.

List the available drawing styles (cloud, azure, material, c4, blueprint, whiteboard, minimal, neon, slate) with a description of each look.

List every component icon (server, database, queue, k8s, firewall, ...) with its category and the aliases that map onto it.

Parse a diagram without drawing it. Reports every syntax/reference error at once, plus warnings about orphan nodes, empty groups and unknown icon types. Cheap to call before rendering.

Draw an IT architecture and save it as a standalone .svg file (optionally in several styles at once). Layout, routing and grouping are automatic - never supply coordinates. Returns the absolute file paths.

Render the same architecture once per available style into one directory, so a human can pick the look they want. Files are suffixed with the style name.

Return the SVG markup inline instead of writing a file. Use when the client can display or post-process SVG directly.

Convert a diagram between the compact DSL and the JSON spec (both directions), normalising it on the way. Useful for editing a diagram that was written in the other notation.
