Create comprehensive HTML architecture diagrams with data flows, business context, and system architecture.
## When to Use
- "Create architecture diagram for [project]"
- "Generate high-level overview"
- "Document system architecture"
- "Show data flow and processing pipeline"
## Components to Include
1. **Business Context**: objectives, users, value, metrics
2. **Data Flow**: sources → processing → outputs with SVG diagram
3. **Processing Pipeline**: multi-stage visualization
4. **System Architecture**: layered components (data/processing/services/output)
5. **Features**: functional and non-functional requirements
6. **Deployment**: model, prerequisites, workflows
## HTML Structure
```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>[Project] Architecture</title>
<style>
body { font-family: system-ui; max-width: 1200px; margin: 0 auto; padding: 20px; }
h1 { background: linear-gradient(135deg, #667eea 0%, #764ba2 100%); color: white; padding: 30px; }
.section { margin: 30px 0; }
svg { max-width: 100%; }
/* Use semantic colors: #4299e1 (data), #ed8936 (processing), #9f7aea (AI), #48bb78 (success) */
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>[Project Name] - Architecture Overview</h1>
<!-- Business Context Section -->
<!-- Data Flow Diagram (SVG) -->
<!-- Processing Pipeline (SVG) -->
<!-- System Architecture Layers -->
<!-- Features Grid -->
<!-- Deployment Info -->
</body>
</html>
```
## SVG Pattern for Data Flow
```html
<svg viewBox="0 0 800 400">
<!-- Data sources (left, blue) -->
<rect x="50" y="150" width="120" height="80" fill="#4299e1"/>
<!-- Processing (center, orange) -->
<rect x="340" y="150" width="120" height="80" fill="#ed8936"/>
<!-- Outputs (right, green) -->
<rect x="630" y="150" width="120" height="80" fill="#48bb78"/>
<!-- Arrows connecting -->
