Intent renders agent diagrams: measures text first, then sizes boxes and routes connectors
LukeW · x · 2026-09-26
Luke Wroblewski explains how Intent renders diagrams: agents provide the pieces and their relationships, and Intent handles measuring, positioning, and routing so everything stays readable.
Mechanics include: text is measured before boxes are sized; group titles get their own space; connectors route around obstacles; connector labels get room too; and Mermaid output receives similar fixes. The point: know what your agents are planning and how before spending the tokens.
