Authoring with AI

FractalForm diagrams can be authored by any LLM. The authoring.llm file is a self-contained prompt that teaches an AI assistant the full language, best practices, and example structure.

How to use it

  1. Copy the prompt using the button below
  2. Paste it into your preferred AI tool (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, or any LLM)
  3. Replace the <placeholder> in the Topic section with what you want to diagram: a system, protocol, or concept
  4. Send the message. The AI will produce a FractalForm diagram
  5. Paste the output into the editor and hit Run
  6. Drag nodes to arrange the layout. Components may overlap on first run
or download authoring.llm directly

Tips

  • Be specific about your topic. "OAuth 2.0 authorization code flow" works better than "OAuth"
  • If the diagram is too long or complex, ask the AI to focus on a specific part or simplify
  • You can iterate. Paste the diagram back and ask for changes
  • The prompt works with any model that handles long context well
  • Verify the output. LLMs can get details wrong, especially protocol steps, field names, and ordering. Review the diagram against official documentation before sharing
