If invoked without arguments, ask user which operation they want.

Argument Resolution Priority

1. --stop — stop server and exit
2. --html flag — set HTML output mode flag
3. Generation flags (--explain, --slides, --diagram, --ascii) — load references/generation-modes.md
4. HTML-only flags (--diff, --plan-review, --recap) — auto-set HTML, load references/generation-modes.md
5. Argument is a path — view mode, load references/view-mode.md
6. Unresolvable — ask user to clarify

Output Path

1. Active plan (from ## Plan Context hook): {plan_dir}/visuals/{mode}-{slug}-{date}.{ext}
2. Fallback: plans/visuals/{mode}-{slug}-{date}.{ext}

Topic-to-slug: lowercase, hyphens, alphanumeric only, max 80 chars.

HTML Mode

When --html is added:

• Self-contained single HTML file (no external dependencies except Mermaid CDN)
• Embedded CSS with dark/light theme toggle (MANDATORY)
• Mermaid diagrams render interactively
• Auto-opens via xdg-open (Linux) or open (macOS)

Before generating HTML, read: references/html-design-guidelines.md

Reference loading by mode: references/generation-modes.md

Error Handling

Error	Action
Invalid/empty topic	Ask user to provide a topic
File write failure	Report error, check disk space and permissions
--diff without git context	Explain: "No git repo detected."
--plan-review without plan	Explain: "Provide plan file path or active plan."
--html --ascii combination	Not supported — suggest --html --diagram instead
