| Best use | 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 a local pre-commit secret scan plus a second CI gate. It is especially useful around deployment configuration and environment files. It does not replace a secret manager or credential revocation after a leak. | For a Python developer or small team that wants a shared setup rather than relying on manually installed packages. Commit the dependency definition and lockfile, then sync the environment and run commands with uv. It does not isolate the operating system or untrusted code, or replace application compatibility tests. |
