show-me
Answer architecture / control-flow questions with a compact visual format (component tree, call stack, mermaid, annotated diff) instead of prose walls. House steal of ExplainX /show-me FORMAT — not affiliated. Slash: /show-me.

/show-me — draw, don't ramble
Inspired by ExplainX trending #9 (score 87): The /show-me Skill — the
format menu is the product. The model can already draw; the skill makes
format selection deterministic.
When
Architecture, PreToolUse/gate flow, adapter wiring, "what calls what", PR blast
radius, session lease ownership. Prefer this over a paragraph dump.
Format menu (pick one)
| Format | When it wins |
|---|---|
| Component / module tree | Who owns which state or gate |
| Call stack | Orchestration order |
| File layout | Directory + one-line responsibility |
| Mermaid sequence | Multi-party over time (agent → hook → API) |
| Mermaid state | Modes + transitions (lease, merge, deploy) |
| Annotated diff | What changed at structure level |
| Pseudocode | Branching logic without language noise |
ThumbGate vocabulary (house version)
Prefer these labels when drawing: PreToolUse, gate-check, session-lease,lesson-retrieval, graphify, Trunk, Railway /health, containerTag/scope.
