Skill instructions
DOT as Analysis Overview DOT diagrams are not just documentation — they are analysis instruments. Drawing a system forces you to make structural claims. Those claims can be verified, and the gaps between belief and reality reveal bugs, missing paths, and hidden coupling. Core principle: Completeness pressure is the mechanism. You cannot leave a box disconnected without asking why. You cannot draw a flow without tracing where it actually goes. The act of drawing forces reconciliation. --- The Reconciliation Workflow A 4-phase process for using diagrams to surface system truth: Phase 1: Introspect Write down what you believe the system does. List the components, the flows, the states. Do not look at the code yet. This captures your current mental model. Phase 2: Represent Draw your belief as a DOT diagram. Use the correct shape vocabulary (services as boxes, data stores as cylinders, decisions as diamonds). Every node must connect to something — floating nodes are a forcing function. Pha
