Plotwork

Your AI agent writes a few lines of text. Plotwork draws a clean, on-brand diagram
and redraws it when the code changes.

The problem

Problem	Today
Diagrams drift	A picture drawn by hand is out of date by the next release, and nobody knows which one to trust.
Agents cannot draw	AI agents write code all day but cannot use a drawing tool, so the diagram is the one part left undone.
Every team draws differently	Shapes, colours and icons change from page to page, with no review and no brand.

A small text language that agents write well, and an engine that draws it the same way everywhere.

_{Drawn by Plotwork from 22 lines of text.}

Feature	What you get
29 kinds of diagram	Flow, sequence, database, C4, state, Gantt, mind map, Sankey, Wardley and more.
Drawn from your files	Terraform, Bicep, CloudFormation, Pulumi, SQL, Prisma, OpenAPI, Kubernetes, Compose and more.
Over 5,500 icons	AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Kubernetes and the brands your stack uses.
Checked like code	Every mistake comes back with a line, a column and a fix, so an agent corrects itself.
Kept in sync	CI redraws every diagram on change and fails the build when one is stale.

With an AI agent (Claude Code shown; Cursor, VS Code and Claude Desktop work too):

claude mcp add plotwork -- npx -y @buun_group/plotwork-mcp

In CI, with the GitHub Action:

- uses: plotwork-official/plotwork-action@v1

From the command line:

npx -y @buun_group/plotwork render architecture.diagram

Repository	What it is
plotwork-mcp	The MCP server for agents, run locally with no account.
plotwork-cli	The `plotwork` command: render, sync Markdown, import files, check in CI.
plotwork-action	The GitHub Action that keeps every diagram in a repository current.
plotwork-component	The GitLab CI/CD component.
plotwork-azure-devops	The Azure Pipelines extension.
plotwork-claude-plugin	The Claude Code plugin: draws diagrams as Claude saves files.
terraform-provider-plotwork	The Terraform and OpenTofu provider: diagrams that update on every apply.
plotwork-selfhost	The engine as one container, for diagram text that must stay inside your network.
plotwork-examples	A made-up company's repository, with every workflow wired up.
terraform-plotwork-examples	Terraform and OpenTofu examples for the provider.

Plotwork for organisations adds a shared, private diagram library and the controls a security review asks for.

Control	What it does
Your brand	Your colours, fonts and icon packs on every diagram.
Approved patterns	Reference architectures every team draws the same way.
Sign-in and audit	SSO, SCIM, two-step sign-in and an audit log you can stream to your SIEM.
Private by default	Diagram source is not stored unless you publish it, and the engine can run on your own servers.
