agent · built into metaphor
Board
Draws the diagram so you do not have to describe it twice. Board draws on Metaphor's shared Board canvas: architecture diagrams, user flows, sequence charts and step-by-step explanations. It works in its own context so the main conversation stays small, and it checks its own drawing and fixes overlaps before it hands back.

What it does

Questions
What does the Board agent do?
Board draws on Metaphor's shared Board canvas: architecture diagrams, user flows, sequence charts and step-by-step explanations. It works in its own context so the main conversation stays small, and it checks its own drawing and fixes overlaps before it hands back.
How do I start the Board agent?
It is built into Metaphor. Ask for the work in plain words, for example "Draw how a request flows through this app", and the main agent hands it off and reports back when it is done.
Can Board change my code?
Draws on the Board. It only reads your files.
