new-flowchart

Scaffold a new decision flowchart in the current project as either Mermaid or D2 source, with a Typst wrapper that embeds the rendered SVG so it compiles into a printable PDF page. Use when the user wants to author a decision tree, branching procedure, or troubleshooting flow that will be rendered alongside or as part of a printed SOP.

new-flowchart

Scaffold a flowchart source file plus a Typst wrapper for printing.

Inputs to gather

Engine — mermaid (default) or d2.

mermaid is easier and more familiar; render via mmdc.
d2 produces nicer-looking diagrams; render via d2.

Title — for the diagram heading.

Slug — kebab-case stem.

Output directory — default flowcharts/.

Type — quick hint: decision-tree, troubleshooting, process, state-machine. Used to seed the starter content.

What to do

Create <output-dir>/<slug>.{mmd|d2} with starter content matching the chosen type. Example for decision-tree in Mermaid:

flowchart TD
  start[Start: <situation>] --> q1{<first decision>}
  q1 -->|Yes| a1[<action>]
  q1 -->|No| q2{<next decision>}
  q2 -->|Yes| a2[<action>]
  q2 -->|No| stop[Stop / escalate]

Create <output-dir>/<slug>.typ — a small Typst wrapper that:

Renders the title
Embeds <slug>.svg (which compile will produce by running the diagram CLI)
Optionally adds a caption / source note

#set page(paper: "a4", margin: 2cm)
#align(center)[
  #text(size: 18pt, weight: "bold")[<TITLE>]
]
#v(1em)
#image("<slug>.svg", width: 100%)

Print both file paths and remind the user:

To preview the diagram source they can use VS Code's Mermaid preview, the d2 watcher, or the compile skill from this plugin.

Notes

Don't try to render here — that's compile's job.

If the user wants a flowchart inside an existing SOP rather than standalone, suggest editing the SOP's Typst source to #image("../flowcharts/<slug>.svg") directly instead of using a wrapper.
