Rich Visualization Sketches
Design had briefs that needed diagrams (maps of what connects to what, flows, before and after), but bob-wire could only draw boxes, tables and forms.
bob-wire learned a simple diagram language and drew six test pages with it. A rerun method lets the same briefs be redrawn as the skill improves.

What changed
The two changes that matter most, in plain words. Open any one to see it.
- 1
A three-column sketch shows raw events reducing to a few named things, then to plain actions.

- 2
Five briefs from design c38 plus one extra were drawn with the new sketch language.
Six test pages · came from Mark Parson
- The same brief can be redrawn in later passes, so a better sketch means the skill improved, not the brief. In words
How we got here
Each change, traced back to the conversation it came from. A solid mark means the record names the source; a dashed one was matched by the draft and waits for review.
From the record: no recorded conversation behind this one.

Thanks to
People outside Qpoint first. Every thank-you points at something they said or made.
Asked bob-wire to learn to draw diagrams
Wrote the initial prompt: build the skill first, inspired by qmap, qflow and qpixel, and use the design c38 briefs as the proving ground. The record names no one; every commit in this cycle is authored by Mark Parson (git), so the credit is matched from authorship.
