A diagram from the files you already have

Plotwork reads 32 formats, from Terraform and Kubernetes to SQL, OpenAPI and a git log, and draws each as a finished diagram: typed boxes, product icons, labelled lines. No hand-drawn boxes.

Data and history

TerraformFrom *.tf *.tfvarsInfrastructure
Parcelpoint on Azure: 22 nodes, 21 connections. 29 resources on Azure, framed by the module that declares them and nested in the groups, networks, and subnets that hold them, imported from Terraform. An arrow means one resource refers to another, and its label says how: a role, a private link, logs, or a secret.

Run: plotwork generate --source infra22 nodes, 21 connections

Every format, and the diagram it becomes

One command, or one call from an agent with import_source. Anything left out is reported, with its line in your file.
