About this skill

You say

Diagram: Your app to API, then Queue and Database, then Webhooks.

It said back

The diagram video is rendered. I checked the layout first and found no problems.

  • Video: launch-scene/architecture-diagram.mp4
  • Length and size: 5.9 s, 1920×1080, 30 fps, 147 KB
  • Look: swiss (off-white grid with a red square), 16:9
  • Flow: Your app → API → Queue and Database (in parallel) → Webhooks. The boxes pop in layer by layer, then the connectors draw and the packets flow along them.
  • Words: The title is "How it works". I used only the names you gave me.
  • Assumptions: The Queue and Database both feed into Webhooks, and the wordmark is a placeholder "Your app". I didn't add a logo, URL or numbers, since you didn't supply any.
