When to use this template

Prep, cook, taste and adjust with the seasoning loop, then plate.. Use it for recipe cards — the loop is what makes it cookable, not just readable.

How to customize

  1. Add a step or node. Insert one line: node new_id 'New label' below anchor — placement is relative, so the solver re-flows the whole diagram instantly.
  2. Relabel an edge. Edit the text after the arrow: edge a -> b 'your label' — labels are the fastest way to carry rates, protocols or percentages.
  3. Change reading order. Swap a placement word: below to right of rotates a branch sideways without touching any other line.
