Architecture diagrams that keep up with your code

Generate a diagram from your repo, then let MermaidCreator watch for stale architecture knowledge. Every pull request can show what it changes, and merges open review-first drift findings instead of silently changing your docs.

Repo generation, PR knowledge impact, evidence links, and drift review are all part of DiagramOps.

Every architecture doc starts true and slowly turns into fiction

Someone draws the system in a wiki. Six months and a hundred merges later, nobody trusts it — so nobody updates it, and new hires piece the real architecture together from grep and guesswork. The fix isn't more discipline. It's a diagram that reads the code itself.

1 · Connect

Point it at a repo

Install the GitHub app on a repository and pick it in your workspace. It reads the file tree and your dependencies — no access to anything it doesn't need.

2 · Generate

Get a real architecture diagram

One click and you have a layered diagram of how the system fits together — frontend, services, data, and the external tools you actually depend on.

3 · Forget about it

It opens a review queue

From then on it lives in your pull requests and opens drift findings on merge. You approve the knowledge update instead of trusting a silent rewrite.

The diagram shows up where the work happens

  • Reviewers see the change, not just the diff

    Open a PR and the bot comments a small diagram of exactly what it touches — the shape of the change, before anyone reads a line of code.

  • The full architecture, right in the thread

    The same comment carries the system diagram, rendered natively by GitHub. Context is one scroll away, not buried in a wiki.

  • It opens findings on merge

    Merge to main and DiagramOps creates review-first findings with suggested Mermaid updates. Auto-apply is opt-in per source for teams that want the legacy behavior.
