What relationship are you trying to show?
Use a flowchart for decisions, a mind map for ideas, an org chart or tree for hierarchy, a Venn diagram for overlap, and a sequence diagram for time-ordered service interaction.

Workflow Playbook
Generate flowcharts, mind maps, org charts, tree diagrams, Venn diagrams, ASCII directory trees, and sequence diagrams from text, JSON, sets, or logs.
Hubs
Structural diagrams work best when the diagram type matches the question. If you need to explain decisions or process branches, start with flowchart-maker. If the source is a rough outline of ideas, use mindmap-maker to expose themes and subtopics before the team debates wording.
For reporting lines, product ownership, taxonomies, or nested systems, use org-chart-maker or tree-diagram-generator so every parent-child relationship is visible. When the question is overlap rather than hierarchy, venn-diagram-maker helps show which sets intersect and which items belong only to one group.
Not every diagram needs a polished canvas. ascii-tree-from-indented-list turns an indented outline into a copyable tree that works well in README files, tickets, and command-line documentation. For distributed systems, log-sequence-diagram-converter turns service logs into Mermaid or PlantUML so reviewers can see who called whom, in what order, and where latency or errors appeared. A good final diagram should make the underlying logic easier to verify, not just prettier.
Workflow playbook
Start with the human-readable logic: turn decision paths into a flowchart and unpack brainstorming notes into a structured mind map before polishing the presentation.
Use team, product, or taxonomy data to create an org chart or tree diagram, then check parent-child relationships before sharing the result.
Show set intersections with a Venn diagram and convert indented outlines into copyable ASCII trees for README files, tickets, and architecture notes.
When the source is event evidence, convert structured service logs into a Mermaid or PlantUML sequence diagram with the actors, timing, and errors reviewers need.
Use a flowchart for decisions, a mind map for ideas, an org chart or tree for hierarchy, a Venn diagram for overlap, and a sequence diagram for time-ordered service interaction.
Choose rendered diagrams for presentations, ASCII trees for README and terminal contexts, and Mermaid or PlantUML output when the result must live in documentation source control.
