render_all_styles

Render an architecture diagram in multiple styles at once, saving each with a style suffix for easy comparison and selection.

Instructions

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.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
dslNoDiagram in the it-architecture DSL (preferred). Call get_authoring_guide once to learn it.
specNoStructured diagram spec; alternative to 'dsl'.
styleNoDrawing style, see list_styles. Default 'cloud'.
titleNoOverrides the title in dsl/spec.
footerNoSmall caption under the drawing.
legendNoDraw a category colour legend.
stylesNoRender the same diagram in several styles at once.
filenameNoBase name without extension; defaults to the title.
subtitleNo
directionNoFlow direction; LR is the default.
output_dirNoWhere to write. Defaults to $ITARCH_OUTPUT_DIR or ~/architecture-diagrams.
save_sourceNoAlso write a .arch source file next to the SVG (default true) so the diagram can be edited later.
transparentNoOmit the background fill.
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

With no annotations provided, the description bears the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It explains the output behavior: files go into one directory, suffixed with style name. It does not mention output format (assumed SVG from sibling tools), the interaction between 'style' and 'styles' parameters, or whether existing files are overwritten. The description is minimally adequate but leaves several behavioral aspects unstated.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is two sentences, extremely concise, and front-loaded with the core action. Every word adds value. There is no wasted text or redundancy. This is an exemplary model of conciseness for a tool description.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool's complexity (13 parameters, nested objects, enums), the description is quite sparse. It fails to explain the interplay between the 'dsl' and 'spec' inputs, the default behavior when no styles are specified, and output details like format. The schema compensates heavily, but for a tool with multiple output mode and many configuration options, the description lacks completeness.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 92% (high), so the baseline is 3. The description adds little beyond schema: it mentions file suffixing (tied to filename/style) but does not explain the distinction between 'style' and 'styles' or how they interact. Most parameter meanings are already well-documented in the schema, so the description provides marginal added value.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool renders the same architecture in multiple styles into one directory, with files suffixed by style name. It is specific about the verb (Render) and resource (architecture per style). However, the term 'available style' is ambiguous as it could mean all known styles versus those specified via the 'styles' parameter, slightly reducing clarity. It distinguishes from sibling render_architecture by implying multiple outputs.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description implies the tool is for generating multiple style variants for comparison, but it does not explicitly state when to use it over siblings like render_architecture (single style) or preview_architecture (preview). No explicit instructions on prerequisites or when not to use it are provided. The usage context is implied but not clearly delineated.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
