| Best use | Best for an individual developer or small team tracing a bug, adding a test, or implementing a bounded change with a reviewable plan and diff. Avoid broad production access or unscoped Auto-approve, and do not treat it as a replacement for tests, Git, or human review. | For developers and small teams that want architecture and data-flow diagrams close to the repository and reviewable as text. Use it when relationships matter more than pixel-perfect placement; not for free-form marketing design or exact manual positioning. | Best for an individual developer or small team that wants consistent product names, terminology, and documentation style before merge. It applies the same rules to human- or AI-written prose locally and in CI. It is not a translator, semantic fact checker, or Arabic grammar checker through English packages. |
