   I can see the value of having the agent and the human looking at the same design. The thing I'd worry about is the diagram becoming another thing that slowly diverges from the code. Would be interesting to see how you handle that once the implementation starts moving.

      yeah, for sure. i think the diagrams/artifacts are definitely more ephemeral, since they fall out of date. in my experience, the more lasting artifacts from the whiteboarding session have been 1) making the code that ships higher quality because i understand it, and 2) getting my own mental model aligned with the current state of the codebase.

      we're dreaming up some features in a hosted version of the product which could maintain an up-to-date 'software map' of your codebase, and that is the backbone which would power all diagrams/visualizations
