Answer at a glance: What connects to what? What changed? What proves it? Build an evidence view, not a decorative diagram; source, diff, and command output remain ground truth.
1. Set the focus
Use the request and repository context. Do not ask for details that can be discovered from the repository. State the smallest boundary that answers the question. Gather only:
- definitions, callers, consumers, configuration, and ownership;
- current diff or before/after revisions;
- verify command, exit code, decisive output, and coverage gaps.
Never expose private chain-of-thought. Show observable evidence and conclusions.
2. Normalize the evidence
Keep five kinds: Entities, Relations, Changes, Proof, and
Gaps. Label inference as ? inferred; never draw a guessed edge as fact.
3. Choose the smallest useful view
Prefer the first form that carries the relationship clearly:
- decision → compact pseudocode;
- runtime calls → call tree;
- ownership → shallow tree;
- 3+ interacting parts → Mermaid flow/sequence;
- structural change → before/after diff;
- completion → requirement-to-proof map;
- clear prose → one sentence or short list.
Use one primary view. Add another only for a different question. Reserve focused HTML for dense UI or interactive state. Keep HTML temporary unless the user asks to keep it, and open it only with permission.
4. Render with a stable grammar
A --> B calls or moves data
A --owns--> B named relation
+ / - / ~ item added / removed / changed
[+] proven
[x] disproven
[?] unknown
[path/file:line] source
Keep labels concrete and short. Omit unrelated detail. For Mermaid, keep node IDs simple, quote punctuation-heavy labels, and put noisy source pointers outside.
5. Attach evidence
Every important node or edge must be traceable to source, a diff/revision, or
an exact command, exit code, and shortest decisive output. A green-looking view
is not verification. If no command ran, write not run. If proof misses a
claim, mark that claim [?] and name the gap; keep failed proof visible.
Output contract
Return in order:
- Answer — focus and conclusion in 1–2 sentences.
- View — smallest useful visual.
- Sources — compact file/line or revision pointers.
- Proof — command, exit code, decisive output; or
not run. - Unknowns — omit only when none exist.
Fit into the Luciazero loop
Lifecycle skills own work and proof: /ready CI→verify, /plan boundary,
/debug hypothesis→observation, /done requirement→proof, and
/lucia-relay state→next action. The lifecycle skill owns the work and
verification. /show only exposes its structure.
