# Diagram Only
The design is already decided. Skip the interview and build the artifact.
This exists because producing an architecture diagram by hand is genuinely slow — hunting component images, pasting them into slides, dragging arrows into alignment. Forty minutes per deck, spent on layout rather than on architecture.
## When this is the wrong skill
If the user is still deciding anything, this is the wrong tool and produces a diagram that documents an unexamined decision. Route to `stackreason` when:
- They ask "should I use X or Y"
- They describe a system that does not exist yet
- They mention a number they are unsure the design can handle
- They say "I think" more than once while describing it
Say so directly: *"You still have open decisions here. A diagram would just make them look settled. Want to run the design skill first?"*
Drawing an undecided architecture is worse than not drawing it, because a diagram confers a confidence the reasoning has not earned.
## Hard Rules
1. **Do not redesign.** Draw what they described. If a choice looks wrong, note it once after the artifact — never silently substitute something else.
2. **Do not invent components** to fill the diagram out. If they described
