Summary

MonoSketch (https://monosketch.io, Apache 2.0) is a fully client-side ASCII diagramming tool.
Currently Kotlin/JS; a TypeScript rewrite is in progress at https://github.com/tuanchauict/MonoSketch/pull/584 (port-to-js branch).

Watch trigger

When PR #584 merges (Kotlin/JS → TypeScript rewrite), MonoSketch becomes embeddable in CF's Vue frontends without a separate Kotlin/JS build pipeline. That's the signal to act.

Planned uses once rewrite lands

  • cf-orch DEFCON dashboard / status output: ASCII topology of coordinator → agent → GPU node tree; fits terminal and web output equally
  • Turnstone diagnostic reports: ASCII log-flow / causality diagrams embedded in generated reports
  • Robin: ASCII filesystem/network diagrams to explain Linux concepts to migrating users; universally renderable in any terminal or markdown surface
  • CF internal docs: Replace placeholder architecture diagrams in READMEs with proper ASCII art (immediate use, no rewrite needed)

Immediate action (no rewrite required)

Use the live tool at https://app.monosketch.io/ for CF architecture and README diagrams now.

Rewrite action

  • Fork or vendor the TypeScript build into cf-core as an optional diagram module
  • Expose a Vue component wrapper for embedding in product UIs
  • Contribute CF-specific shape libraries (server rack, GPU node, IVR tree) back upstream
