Blueprinter

Generate technical diagrams using HTML/CSS following the "Flat Engineering Blueprint" style guidelines.

Core Philosophy

Precise, Objective, High Data-Ink Ratio. The output should look like a technical specification sheet or an architectural diagram, NOT a marketing landing page.

Visual Rules

1. No Decorations

• NO drop shadows
• NO gradients
• NO glassmorphism/blur
• NO rounded buttons

2. Flat & Outlined

• Use 1px or 2px solid borders for structure
• Use white backgrounds for content blocks

3. Monochrome Base

Element	Color
Background	Light Gray (#f8fafc)
Canvas	White (#ffffff) with Slate Border (#cbd5e1)
Text (Main)	High contrast Black (#0f172a)
Text (Sub)	Slate Gray (#64748b)
Accent	Use BLACK or ONE semantic color (e.g., Red for Error) sparingly

4. Typography

• Headings/Labels: Sans-serif (Inter/Helvetica)
• Data/Paths/Code: Monospace (JetBrains Mono/Consolas)

5. Layout Structure

• The diagram must be contained within a diagram-canvas (a bordered box with padding)
• Header: Title + Uppercase Subtitle, separated by a solid bottom border
• Grid/Flexbox alignment: Everything must be strictly aligned

6. Elements

• Connectors: Thin, straight or orthogonal lines. Dashed lines for abstract relationships.
• Icons: Simple stroke SVG icons (no fill or complex details)
• Badges: Outlined or solid black/gray blocks. Small font size.

Usage Guidelines

1. Always use the CSS variables - never hardcode colors
2. Keep it flat - no shadows, no gradients, no blur effects
3. Use monospace for data - any technical values, paths, codes should use --font-mono
4. Align strictly - use CSS Grid or Flexbox with consistent gaps
5. Connect with lines - use SVG for connectors between components
6. Minimal icons - if icons are needed, use simple stroke-only SVGs

Example: Simple System Diagram

  <div class="diagram-header">
    <div class="diagram-title">System Architecture</div>
    <div class="diagram-subtitle">v1.0 / Overview</div>
  </div>
  
  <div style="display: grid; grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr 1fr; gap: 24px;">
