Use when the user requests diagrams, flowcharts, architecture diagrams, ER diagrams, UML / sequence / class diagrams, SysML / MBSE diagrams (block definition, internal block, requirement, parametric), BPMN business process diagrams, swimlane / cross-functional flowcharts, network topology, cloud architecture from Terraform or Kubernetes manifests, ML/DL model figures (Transformer/CNN/LSTM), mind maps, or any visualization. Also use proactively when explaining systems with 3+ components, complex data flows, or relationships that benefit from visual representation. Best suited when the diagram needs custom styling, rich shape vocabulary, swimlanes, or exportable images (PNG/SVG/PDF/JPG). Generates .drawio XML and exports locally via the native draw.io desktop CLI.
Generate draw.io diagrams from natural language — 11 presets (UML, SysML/MBSE, BPMN, network, C4…), 36 tools: codebase/CI/infra-to-diagram, image→editable diagram, mind maps, build-up animation, exec-view compression, click-through runbooks, PR diff bot. Vision self-check, 10,000+ shapes. Exports PNG/SVG/PDF/JPG.
Create cinematic product videos from shot recipe cards, a validated template, and code/audio assets (Remotion + real page screenshots + 2.5D camera moves + beat-synced cuts + sound design). Use when the user asks to turn a frontend project or webpage into a product video, says "use video-shotcraft to make a video/promo", names the Ink Press template or asks to reproduce its effect, or wants a single shot card's motion. 用镜头配方卡 + 已验收模板 + 代码/音频资产制作电影感产品视频（Remotion + 真实页面截图 + 2.5D 运镜 + 节奏卡点 + 声音设计）。当用户要求"用 video-shotcraft 做视频/宣传片"、把前端项目/网页做成产品视频、点名 Ink Press 模板或要求复刻模板片效果，或要用镜头卡做单个动效镜头时使用。
Required before calling image_generate. Create and edit images from a prompt — generate an image, make a picture / logo / illustration / icon / banner / poster / thumbnail / hero image / mockup / product shot / social graphic, or edit / restyle / combine existing images from reference images. Uses OpenAI gpt-image-2 through the Hive image service, billed to the user's Hive credits like an LLM call (no API key needed). Teaches the exact call shape, the quality/cost tradeoff (quality="low" is the default and cheapest), reference-image editing, how to show the result to the user with attach_file, and the failure modes (out of credits, model unavailable, moderation).
